approximately HK$120.9 million).

The Properties are used to secure banking facilities with

four Japanese banks namely Sumitomo Mitsui Banking

Corporation, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., The Toho Bank, Ltd.

and The Fukushima Bank, Ltd., in favour of the

Company. The security has been released on

Completion.

The Consideration was determined after arm's length

reference to the rental yield for leasing of the Property,

the recent transactions of similar types of properties in

the market and the preliminary valuation of the

Properties indicated by an independent property valuer.

Terms of payment

:

Lump-sum payment as of 27 November 2019

Completion

:

Completion took place on 27 November 2019

Upon completion of the Disposal, the Tenant and the

the Properties after the Disposal.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive

directors, consider that the entering into of the Lease

Agreement will not have any material adverse impact on

the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement were arrived at by the Vendor and the Purchaser after arm's length negotiation. The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The net profits (before and after tax)

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

attributable to the Gust Mukaigawara store for the two years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019 are approximately9.8 million and9.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$0.7 million and HK$0.7 million). The Group acquired the Properties at ¥882 million (equivalent to approximately HK$64.1 million) on 15 October 2009. The unaudited carrying value of the Property was approximately ¥786 million (equivalent to approximately HK$57.1 million) as at 30 September 2019.

The Directors believe that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise the value of the Properties at a reasonable price and the proceeds from the Disposal will improve the financial position and increase the general working capital of the Group.

4. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

Based on, inter alia, the Consideration, the unaudited carrying value of the Properties as at 30 September 2019, and the related expenses for the Disposal, the Group currently expects to record a gain on disposal of approximately ¥1,194 million (equivalent to approximately HK$86.7 million) upon Completion.

Save as disclosed above, the Disposal will not have any material adverse impact on the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

5. USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds arising from the Disposal of approximately ¥1,525 million (equivalent to approximately HK$110.7 million) (after deducting tax and other expenses in relation to the Disposal) will be used for repaying bank loans of the Group.

6. INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE PURCHASER

The Group is principally engaged in the business of pachinko hall operation.

To the knowledge of the Directors, the Purchaser is principally engaged in real estate development and investment business.

7. GENERAL

As one of the applicable percentages (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal is more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates have a material interest in the Disposal, thus no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting for the resolution if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting to approve the Disposal. The Taniguchi Consortium, the controlling shareholder group of the

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Company, which is interested in 821,280,460 Shares, representing approximately 68.7% of issued Shares as at the date of this circular, has approved the Disposal by a written Shareholders' approval pursuant to Rule 14.44(2) of the Listing Rules in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company.

8. RECOMMENDATION

For the reasons set out above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the approval of the Disposal.

9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

3. WORKING CAPITAL STATEMENT

Taking into account the financial resources available to the Group, including internally generated funds and available banking facilities of the Group, the Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is for at least 12 months from the date of publication of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, such as any event of force majeure occurs including, without limiting the generality thereof, any act of God, war, riot, public disorder, civil commotion, fire, flood, explosion, epidemic, terrorism, strike or lock- out.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2019, being the date on which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The pachinko industry remains difficult with markets shrinking across the entire industry, more pachinko hall operators are experiencing management difficulties and a trend toward closing of pachinko halls. It is believed that this declining trend will continue for the time being, with no immediate solutions to resolve market-wide issues such as unveil new markets of younger people and prevent departure of existing players.

Furthermore, in the future, the pachinko industry will likely be confronted with other issues further constraining its profitability, such as change of gambling property for gaming machine due to the revision of gaming machine regulations, the increase in consumption tax, and measures to protect against gambling dependency following the lifting of casino restrictions, among others.

Given this industry environment, for the pachinko hall business, the Group has further promoted the implementation of sales policies necessary for achieving continuous profitable growth and cost efficiency, in compliance with various regulations, while at the same time striving to provide a gaming environment that meets the needs of diverse fans as an important sales strategy. As a result, despite the ongoing severity of the situation the pachinko industry as a whole is facing - such as the market shift following changes of machine standards regulations and the decrease in sales (gross pay-in) that has accompanied this shift - the Group has successfully maintained the sales scale and has achieved an expansion of customer visits.

Despite the macro environment of pachinko industry is seen to be severe, the Group regards this market phenomenon as an opportunity for our future growth, and will focus on areas with existing pachinko halls where the Group can demonstrate its strengths. The Group intends to establish a foundation for future growth through opening of new halls seeking opportunity for acquisitions of other halls and allying with business partners.

- I-4 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Apart from continuously configurate products to accommodate the characteristics of each region, improve the gaming environment and customer service, the Group will also work to enhance our overall organisation by implementing cost efficiency plan and work in unity to create halls that win the support of customers.

The Group will continue to position the establishment of a solid business foundation as our most important management issue by actively and intensively investing management resources in the domestic business, centered on the pachinko business.

5.2. Real Estate Market Trends

5.2.1. Land Price Trend as of January, 2019

The national average land price across sectors as of January 2019 increased for the fourth consecutive year and its pace of increase accelerated in the past three years. Looking at the trend by sector, the residential land price continuously increased for two years in a row, while the commercial land price also increased for the four consecutive years and the industrial land price rose for the three straight years. In the three major urban regions, all the sectors strengthened their pace of increase. Other than three major urban regions, both the land price across sectors and the residential land price in the non-urban regions increased for the first time in 27 years since 1992. In the non-urban regions, both the commercial and industrial land price rose for the second consecutive year with their pace of increase accelerated. The land price grew across sectors in four cities including Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima and Fukuoka, also showed stronger growth. Other than four cities above mentioned, the land price recovered in the non-urban regions as the commercial land price unchanged this year after declining over the years since 1993, while the industrial land price turned around and picked up for the first time in 27 years since 1992.

  • Residential land Price

The residential demand remained steady, particularly in the areas where the convenient public transportation and better living environment are available, underpinned by the ongoing low interest rate as well as the government aid for home buyers, while the improvement in the job market and the salary level sustained. The residential land price recovery accelerated across the nation with the annual growth at 0.6%, which was the second consecutive year of increase, also its pace was strengthened from the previous year.

  • Commercial land Price

Office vacancy generally continued declining with increasing rent, due to the office expansion and relocation for the improvement of office environment complying with the government's work-style reforms, while we saw the improvement of the corporate performance backed by the economic recovery. Thanks to increasing foreign and local visitors as well as the improving public transport and vibrancy due to the infrastructure improvement and proceeding redevelopment projects, the demand for retail store and hotel new openings remained strong in the center of major cities. In addition to the rising profitability as a commercial land, preferable financing condition backed by the easy monetary policy encouraged corporates to invest in real estate. Hence the commercial land price continued steady across the nation with average annual growth at 2.8%. This was the fourth consecutive year of increase and its pace of increase accelerated for the three straight years.

  1. Area Summary

6.1.1. Description of Koriyama-shi,Fukushima-ken

Koriyama-shi is located in the center of Nakadori of Fukushima-ken, and is designated as a core city. The city is extended from east to west of Ou Mountains, with its west side located on the south bank of Lake Inawashiro which is located to the Sea of Japan side, and its east side reaches Abukuma upland.

Downtown area is situated in between Utsunomiya-shi of Tochigi-ken and Sendai-shi of Miyagi-ken, and is connected to both cities by Tohoku Shinkansen, Tohoku Main Line, Tohoku expressway, and National Road Route 4. Further, the city has access to Aizuwakamatsu-shi and Niigata-shi in the west and Iwaki-shi in the east by Banetsu expressway, Banetsu-saisen (west line), Banetsu-tosen (east line) and National Road Route

49. Located at the cross road of transportation in east Japan, the city developed as a hub of economy, inland industry, logistics and transportation. Koriyama urban area is being formed with its second largest population and economy in the Tohoku area.

Given such characteristics of being a hub, the city also functions as an information distributing center of Fukushima-ken and is referred to as "mercantile city" and "economic prefectural capital".

Koriyama station serving as a junction station, both people and goods gathered and as a result, Koriyama- shi became the largest city of Fukushima-ken with the introduction of municipal system in Taisho era. During the postwar rapid economic growth period, many companies from Keihin industrial zone moved into the area and ties with Kanto area was strengthened.

6.2. Market Characteristic of Subject Property

6.2.1. Market area

The market area for the purchase and sale market is broadly defined to be commercial areas in prefectural capitals and core cities in each local region, with highly competitive substitution in commercial areas in Koriyama-shi.

The market area for the rental market is defined in the same way as in the purchase and sale market.

6.2.2. Market participants

  • Purchase and sale market

Buyer's attribute and behaviour

International/domestic public/private funding sources, institutional investors such as life insurance companies, and major real estate companies operating commercial facilities, business companies and private investors are the prospective buyers. Main buyers tend to make investment decisions based on the current NOI, projections of income and expenses, the rate of return, marketability, and the costs for funding. Real estate companies operating commercial facilities as well as developers and construction companies considering purchase of existing buildings for redevelopment are also prospective buyers and they tend to make investment decisions based on the current NOI, projections of income and expenses, the rate of return, marketability, costs for funding and profitability of investment on redevelopment project.

Marker trend

Although the steadiness of the real estate market has not largely changed due to the impact provided by the negative interest rate policy, etc., the preferred selling prices still remain very high. Selling prices of properties with prime locations in the suburban cities tend to show an increase and interest rates are on a declining trend. Against this backdrop, some of those on the demand side are displaying a cautious attitude.

  • Rental market

Tenant's attribute and behaviour

On the demand side are companies considering opening new stores in the subject area as the end-tenants. Main tenants tend to select properties based on the conditions of the site and the situation of competing properties, taking into consideration their rent affordability.

Market trend

In both the Greater Tokyo area and regional areas there is a steady demand for commercial facilities with prime locations and competitive advantages, and their rents are stable.

On the other hand, both asking rents and contract rents are declining for commercial facilities that are less competitive; and their vacancy rates are remaining at a high level.

:Designated.

The subject area falls under a remain, "Mukaigawara Iseki". However, according

to the hearing conducted with the department in charge, test excavation was

conducted in 1996 at Koriyama city's cost. Therefore, we have judged that the

probability of further excavation being conducted is low.

Therefore, we have concluded that this factor does not influence determinants

of value in this analysis.

Soil contamination

Whether the property is designated as an area requiring measures under Act for

Controlling Soil Contamination or as an area requiring notification upon

changing its character.

: Not designated

However, according to the material provided by the client, "Result of soil

investigation conducted upon building a new store, Rakuza Rakuichi Koriyama

Bijutsukan-dori ten (dated October 2001)" prepared by Sinkyo-tisui, Company,

it is stated that "out of substances detected during the soil testing, detected

amounts of each of the substance except for fluorine were all either within or

slightly above environmental quality standards. As for fluorine, it was detected

in all areas of testing and its detected amounts exceeded environmental quality

standard. Although the detected substance was a sort that could also exist in the

natural world, in this case, it needs to be noted that factories handling chemical

substances existed in the neighbourhood of the subject area of investigation in

the past and continue to exist, and that the subject area of investigation itself

had been used as chemical factory in the past. Further, according to the existing

data, lead, mercury, and their chemical compounds had been detected from the

soils of the neighbourhood with amounts exceeding quality standard. Based on

these facts, it had been assumed that contaminated substances could be

detected from the area through the investigation. As suspected, fluorine and

lead, the heavy metal, were detected with amount above environmental

standard."

As per mentioned in the conditions for scope of work, this factor is eliminated

from determinants of values in this analysis.

The above conclusion only indicates the existence/non-existence of signs of soil

contamination that are found within the scope of our normal research, and it

does not prove that there is no risk of soil contamination.

Subsoil objects

Based on the appraiser's original research conducted which include objective

information, hearings and appearance inspection at the site, it is assumed that

there exist no subsoil objects. Therefore, this factor is excluded from

determinants of value in the analysis.

The above conclusion only indicates the existence/non-existence of signs of

subsoil objects that are found within the scope of our normal research, and it

does not prove that there is no risk of subsoil objects.

Borders

According to the hearing with the department in charge, borders of the subject

property are confirmed.

Further, based on the site inspection and hearings conducted, three sides of the

subject property are surrounded by public roads and water channels. Adjacent

areas are owned by the same owner, and therefore there are no boarder

disputes. No serious crossing of boarders that may impact on its value has been

admitted as far as the site inspection.

However, as per mentioned in the conditions for scope of work, this factor is

eliminated from determinants of values in this analysis.

Further, the above conclusion only indicates the existence/non-existence of

signs of the crossing of borders that are found within the scope of our normal

research, and it does not prove that there is no risk.

Subject Property

The subject property is located at an approximately 13-minute walk from this

station. It is located close to a crossing of arterial roads with heavy traffic.

Location-wise, and its visibility and ability to pull in customers are high.

The site is a 3-street lot, larger than the standard lot.

Based on the above, the competitiveness of the subject property in terms of

location/site is average.

The building analysis is as mentioned in the earlier section. The subject

property is a low-rise rental retail store. Its maintenance is up to date and

enough parking spaces are secured to cover the needs of the building of its

size. Further, the building covers necessary functions required by prospective

tenants. However, its utilization of permitted FAR is extremely low while

certain level of intensive use is deemed reasonable for the property

considering its high potential in terms of location, although it is in the

roadside commercial area. Therefore, question remains as to whether the

subject property is fully leveraging on its scarcity value.

Based on the above, the competitiveness of the subject in terms of building

features is average.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

The subject property is used entirely as a family restaurant. Its tenant is Skylark holdings Co., Ltd. Rent of the store is in a reasonable level in comparison with standard market rent. Skylark holdings Co., Ltd is a company listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and has tenant credibility.

Based on the above, the competitiveness of the subject property in terms of contract and tenant is slightly superior.

Both land and building are owned by the same entity, and there is no factor which inhibits marketability and competitiveness of the subject.

Taking into account all of the above, we have concluded that the competitiveness of the subject property is judged to be slightly superior.

  1. Application of Valuation Approaches
  1. General Directions

The subject property is identified as a Tenant-occupied Building and its Site, and the cost approach and income approach are applied to conclude value. In addition, the sales comparison approach for building and its site as a whole is not applicable due to lack of sufficient sales comparables.

8.2. Cost Approach

The cost approach value is determined by deducting the necessary depreciation from the replacement cost at the date of valuation.

The process of estimation is shown in Appendix 4: Cost Approach Value Estimate Table.

8.2.1. Replacement Cost

The replacement cost of the site and the building are estimated, to which the incidental expense is added to assess the subject's replacement cost.

8.2.1.1. Land(Vacant Land)

The vacant land value is estimated by applying the sales comparison approach, with reference to the benchmark value. The process of the estimation is shown in Appendix 5: Land Value Estimate Table.

8.2.1.2. Building

We have estimated the value of the building by comparing with construction costs of similar buildings. As for structures, estimated the value by comparing with acquisition value of similar buildings.

8.2.1.3. Incidental Expenses

Incidental expenses are estimated by considering the following:

  • Direct cost related to land such as acquisition fee, a development application fee and property tax, etc.
  • Direct cost to building such as design/ supervision fee, building certificate application fee and registration fee, etc.
  • Cost to building and its site such as financing cost and the equivalent amount of development risk, etc.

8.2.2. Depreciation

8.2.2.1. Depreciation for Land

No depreciation is deducted for land.

8.2.2.2. Depreciation for Building

The depreciation value of the building etc.,(building and structures) is assessed by applying both useful life depreciation and observation depreciation.

As for useful life depreciation, we classify the components of the building into the building frame, the finishing and the installation, then assesses each depreciation rate considering age and remained economic useful life. Residual rate at the end of useful life is estimated at 0%. As for observation depreciation, we conclude that there is no adjustment considering physical depreciation confirmed upon site inspection and competitiveness of the subject property in the market..

8.2.2.3. Depreciation for IncidentalExpense

Estimated the depreciation rate to be 100% as a result of assessing depreciation value of incidental expenses.

8.2.2.4. Depreciation as Improved

Estimated the depreciation rate as a whole, understanding the subject property's level of divergence in terms of the highest and best use.

8.3. Income Approach

The value estimate (income value) is derived by calculating the total sum of the present value for the expected future net cash flow for the subject property. The income approach value is estimated using the direct capitalization and DCF method.

The direct capitalization method derives a net cash flow ("NCF") of a single year, and capitalizes this with a capitalization rate to estimate value.

The DCF method aggregates a NCF of each year for multiple consecutive terms and reversionary value discounted to present value depending on their timing.

8.3.1.1. Rent Comparables

The contract/asking rents for competing properties in the surrounding area are as follows (including partial estimates). It was challenging to gather samples of suburban retail stores that would serve as suitable comparables. Unit price of rent has been assessed by referring to below comparables, especially paying attention to the size of buildings in comparison to the size of lands.

8.3.3.2. Discount Rate

It is difficult to obtain third party market data with regard to discount rate. For the purpose of valuation we adopt the following three methodologies to determine the discount rate for the subject property.

8.3.3.2.1. Adding Risk Premiums to the Base Rate

This methodology applies various influential factors specific to the subject property, such as investment risks including illiquidity, management issues and its level of security as an asset, to interest rates of several financial assets such as government bonds in order to make appropriate adjustments. The quantity of risk caused by those factors varies depending on characteristic of property such as location, building age, specifications, property use, type of ownership, term of building lease, etc. We estimated respective risk premium to be added to the base rate (discount rate of typical A-class office building in Tokyo CBD calculated by adding risk premium of real estate investment to interest rate for risk-free government bond) caused by differences in those characteristic of the subject property and summed them up to arrive at the discount rate to be applied to the subject property as follows:

8.3.3.2.4. Discount Rate

The discount rate determined by the methodologies above all includes various issues to be concerned. However, the approach takes property-specific factors into consideration and is reflective of the expected return of the market surrounding the subject property. We have made a comparison of the three discount rates obtained from three methodologies and conclude the discount rate to be adopted for the discounted cash flow method as follows.

8.3.3.3. Terminal Capitalization Rate

The terminal capitalization rate is the capitalization rate at maturity of the holding period (the end of year 10),and is estimated as below by combining the capitalization rate as at the date of valuation, term risk (change in the neighborhood and building age), spread between the NCF applied in the direct capitalization method and that of year 11, and expected change in NCFs after the maturity of the holding period.

8.3.4. Direct Capitalization Method

  1. NCF
    The NCF is estimated by deducting total expenses from the gross income. The process of estimation is shown in Appendix 6 : NCF Estimate Table and Forecast Variables and Appendix 7: Direct Capitalization Estimate Table.
    The assumptions regarding this estimate are as follows:
    • The stabilized NCF, which focuses on the mid-/long-term profitability of the subject property, is applied in this analysis;
    • The spread between the projected change in NCF of the DCF method and the NCF applied in the direct capitalization method is incorporated in the capitalization rate;
    • The tenant turnover is estimated at retail: 10 years based on the past performance of the subject property and similar properties;
    • As stated in the forecast inflation section, the expected change in prices is assumed to be +0.0%.
  2. Capitalization Rate
    As stated in the capitalization rate section earlier in the report.
  3. Direct Capitalization Value
    By applying the above capitalization rate to the net cash flow, we have estimated the direct capitalization value as follows.

8.3.5. DCF METHOD

The DCF Method discounts anticipated future net cash flow and a reversionary value to a present value at a chosen yield and add them up to estimate a value indication.

Please refer to Appendix 6 : NCF Estimate Table and Forecast Variables, Appendix 8: DCF Method Estimate

Table and Appendix 9: DCF Method Cash Flow Table for details.

The assumptions regarding the estimates are as follows:

    • The analysis period is set at 10 years based on the typical holding period for real estate investors;
    • The tenant turnover is estimated as in the direct capitalization method;
    • We assume the NCF will stabilize at the end of projection period in line with tenant turnover
    • As stated in the forecast inflation section, the expected change in prices is assumed at ±0.0%;
    • Cost of sales is estimated at 2% of selling price.
  1. Sum of Present Value of NCF for the HoldingPeriod
    Please refer to Appendix 6 : NCF Estimate Table and Forecast Variables
  2. Present Value of Net Terminal Value
    NCF in year 11 is capitalized with the terminal capitalization rate from which cost of sale is deducted, which is then multiplied with a present value factor to estimate the present value of net sales proceeds.

Based on above analysis, we have estimated the DCF value as below.

8.3.1. Income Approach Value

Direct capitalization value

JPY 136,000,000

DCF Value

JPY 135,000,000

Two value estimates are derived as above.

The value estimate using the direct capitalization method capitalizes a single-year NCF by the capitalization rate. It is a simple method as the only variables are the single-year NOI and capitalization rate, but on the other hand, it is difficult to reflect the discrepancies in the single-year NCF and the factors which underlie changes in expected NCF. In the analysis, expected changes in NCF and future risks in relation to the single- year NCF adopted are incorporated in the capitalization rate.

The value estimate using the DCF method is value based on explicit future scenarios regarding changes in cash flow and exit, and therefore relies on the accuracy of such predictions and their effects on future cash flow.

In the analysis, projectable change in NCF has been appropriately reflected in the cash flow.

Based on the above, the income approach value using the DCF method is judged to be more convincing. Therefore, we have concluded that the DCF value should be preferred and estimated the income approach value as follows.

  1. Reconciliation and Conclusion of value
  1. Reconsideration of the Value Estimates

The value estimates shown below have been obtained, and the values are reconsidered to determine our confidence and conclude valuation.

Cost Approach Value

JPY 135,000,000

Income Approach Value

JPY 135,000,000

The cost approach focuses on cost. For assessment of replacement cost, the sales comparison approach has been applied for land, with sufficient reference to the benchmark price. As for the building and structures, construction costs, etc. of similar buildings were used as a reference. We estimated the incidental expenses taking into account the market condition of various expenses for land and building etc., There is no depreciation for land, and a combination of useful life and observed depreciation is used to assess depreciation of the building etc.,. As for the incidental expenses, we depreciate in terms of the period to hold its usefulness.

In addition, we have estimated considering the marketability as a building and its site.

The cost approach value derived as above is an empirical value supported by sufficient data.

The income approach value mainly focuses on profitability. In the analysis, both the direct capitalization method and DCF method are used to estimate value.

Valuation derived using the direct capitalization method used NCF based on mid- to long-term income producing capability, and is considered objective and realistic. The capitalization rate is derived from market transactions to reflect current market conditions.

In the DCF analysis, a NCF for each year is estimated using the cash flow table, reflecting changes in income and expenses over the next 11-year period.

The discount rate is derived by using 3 methods. The terminal capitalization rate is estimated by adding future risk premiums to the capitalization rate as at the date of valuation.

In the analysis, the DCF value is more heavily weighted in indicating the income approach value because the change in NCFs can be appropriately predicted; however, the value is generally verified by the direct capitalization value.

Further, the following issues are considered:

  • Appropriateness of selection, evaluation and use of data
  • Appropriateness of use of the basic principles that underlie value of real estate
  • Appropriateness of factor analyses
  • Appropriateness of judgments regarding adjustments in applying each approach
  • Consistency of judgments of factors that affect value common to each approach
  • Appropriateness of the relationship between unit price and aggregate value

9.2. Judgments Regarding the Level of Conviction of each Value Estimate

The subject property is a rental retail building, and major prospective buyers focus on income producing capabilities of properties. Therefore, the income approach value is judged to reflect the actual state of the market more accurately.

9.3. Appraised Value

Therefore, we consider the income approach value to be of primary relevance, while the cost approach value has been used as reference, and we have concluded the value of the subject property as of the date of valuation as follows.

Appraised Value

JPY135,000,000

Additional Statements

  1. If obligation to return deposit is assumed by the new buyer upon transaction, it is appropriate that the purchase price deducts such deposit from the appraised value. Construction cooperation money has been paid to the lessor by the lessee as deposit and has been reimbursed over the 20 years. It is common that such construction cooperation money gets settled upon the sale. Therefore, we have conducted the appraisal based on the assumption that this does not get succeeded by the buyer.
  2. The appraised value does not include consumption tax and local consumption tax which will be levied upon the transaction.

Concerning short-term prospects, weakness remains for the time being, but the economy is expected to continue recovering, supported by the effects of the policies, while employment and income situation is improving. However, further attention should be given to the effects of situations over trade issues on the world economy, while the prospect of the Chinese economy, the uncertainty of situations and policies in overseas economies and the effects of fluctuations in the financial and capital markets also need attention.

5.2. Real Estate Market Trends

5.2.1. Land Price Trend as of January, 2019

The national average land price across sectors as of January 2019 increased for the fourth consecutive year and its pace of increase accelerated in the past three years. Looking at the trend by sector, the residential land price continuously increased for two years in a row, while the commercial land price also increased for the four consecutive years and the industrial land price rose for the three straight years. In the three major urban regions, all the sectors strengthened their pace of increase. Other than three major urban regions, both the land price across sectors and the residential land price in the non-urban regions increased for the first time in 27 years since 1992. In the non-urban regions, both the commercial and industrial land price rose for the second consecutive year with their pace of increase accelerated. The land price grew across sectors in four cities including Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima and Fukuoka, also showed stronger growth. Other than four cities above mentioned, the land price recovered in the non-urban regions as the commercial land price unchanged this year after declining over the years since 1993, while the industrial land price turned around and picked up for the first time in 27 years since 1992.

  • Residential land Price

The residential demand remained steady, particularly in the areas where the convenient public transportation and better living environment are available, underpinned by the ongoing low interest rate as well as the government aid for home buyers, while the improvement in the job market and the salary level sustained. The residential land price recovery accelerated across the nation with the annual growth at 0.6%, which was the second consecutive year of increase, also its pace was strengthened from the previous year.

  • Commercial land Price

Office vacancy generally continued declining with increasing rent, due to the office expansion and relocation for the improvement of office environment complying with the government's work-style reforms, while we saw the improvement of the corporate performance backed by the economic recovery. Thanks to increasing foreign and local visitors as well as the improving public transport and vibrancy due to the infrastructure improvement and proceeding redevelopment projects, the demand for retail store and hotel new openings remained strong in the center of major cities. In addition to the rising profitability as a commercial land, preferable financing condition backed by the easy monetary policy encouraged corporates to invest in real estate. Hence the commercial land price continued steady across the nation with average annual growth at 2.8%. This was the fourth consecutive year of increase and its pace of increase accelerated for the three straight years.

  1. Area Summary

6.1.1. Description of Koriyama-shi,Fukushima-ken

Koriyama-shi is located in the center of Nakadori of Fukushima-ken, and is designated as a core city. The city is extended from east to west of Ou Mountains, with its west side located on the south bank of Lake Inawashiro which is located to the Sea of Japan side, and its east side reaches Abukuma upland.

Downtown area is situated in between Utsunomiya-shi of Tochigi-ken and Sendai-shi of Miyagi-ken, and is connected to both cities by Tohoku Shinkansen, Tohoku Main Line, Tohoku expressway, and National Road Route 4. Further, the city has access to Aizuwakamatsu-shi and Niigata-shi in the west and Iwaki-shi in the east by Banetsu expressway, Banetsu-saisen (west line), Banetsu-tosen (east line) and National Road Route

49. Located at the cross road of transportation in east Japan, the city developed as a hub of economy, inland industry, logistics and transportation. Koriyama urban area is being formed with its second largest population and economy in the Tohoku area.

Given such characteristics of being a hub, the city also functions as an information distributing center of Fukushima-ken and is referred to as "mercantile city" and "economic prefectural capital".

Koriyama station serving as a junction station, both people and goods gathered and as a result, Koriyama- shi became the largest city of Fukushima-ken with the introduction of municipal system in Taisho era. During the postwar rapid economic growth period, many companies from Keihin industrial zone moved into the area and ties with Kanto area was strengthened.

6.2. Market Characteristic of Subject Property

6.2.1. Market area

The market area for the purchase and sale market is broadly defined to be commercial areas in prefectural capitals and core cities in each local region, with highly competitive substitution in commercial areas in Koriyama-shi..

The market area for the rental market is defined in the same way as in the purchase and sale market.

6.2.2. Market participants

  • Purchase and sale market

Buyer's attribute and behaviour

Main buyers would be companies considering opening new retail store etc., in the area, and such prospective buyers tend to make investment decisions placing emphasis on location, competitor's situation, maintenance and design of the building, and asset value of the property, etc. while taking into consideration the business profitability and the cost for launching new store.

Real estate companies operating commercial facilities as well as developers and construction companies considering purchase of existing buildings for redevelopment are also prospective buyers and they tend to make investment decisions based on the current NOI, projections of income and expenses, the rate of return, marketability, costs for funding and profitability of investment on redevelopment project.

Market trend

Although the steadiness of the real estate market has not largely changed due to the impact provided by the negative interest rate policy, etc., the preferred selling prices still remain very high. Selling prices of properties with prime locations in the suburban cities tend to show an increase and interest rates are on a declining trend. Against this backdrop, some of those on the demand side are displaying a cautious attitude.

  • Rental market

Tenant's attribute and behaviour

On the demand side are companies considering opening new stores in the subject area as the end-tenants. Main tenants tend to select properties based on the conditions of the site and the situation of competing properties, taking into consideration their rent affordability.

Market trend

In both the Greater Tokyo area and regional areas there is a steady demand for large size commercial facilities with prime locations and competitive advantages, and their rents are stable.

On the other hand, both asking rents and contract rents are declining for commercial facilities that are less competitive; and their vacancy rates are remaining at a high level.

6.2.4. Trends in pachinko business

Overview

of

A pachinko parlor is a store where machines such as pachinko and pachislot, etc. are

pachinko

installed for customers to play games, and customers exchange steel balls, etc. that

parlor

they win with prizes. A pachinko parlor is also known as a "pachinko hall", "pachinko

operation

parlor" or "Pachiya".

The operation of pachinko parlor in Japan is legally defined as an Adults

Entertainment Business, specified as "an operation to install equipment for customers

to play games that could arouse the gambling spirit" in Article 2-1-4 of the Act on

Control and Improvement of Amusement Business, etc. (hereinafter, "Entertainment

Business Law") . Game coins for pachinko, etc. are regulated under the Ordinance for

Enforcement of the Act on Control and Improvement of Amusement Business, which

is an act of National Public Safety Commission. Under this regulation, as of January

2019, a steel ball for pachinko is set at worth JPY4.32- or less, and a coin for pachislot

is set at worth JPY21.6- or less (including consumption tax).

Regulations

Store openings of pachinko parlors are regulated by zoning rules under the City

for pachinko

Planning Act, and at the same time they are also regulated by prefectural

parlor

governments' ordinances, which specify distance requirements from facilities which

openings

protect children, elderly and people with disabilities such as schools, welfare facilities,

and hospitals, and ban a 24h operation. In addition, there are municipalities which

regulate store opening that are more strict than those of prefectural governments.

Entertainment facilities which install pachinko are required to obtain a business

permit from police before establishing facilities.

Market size

According to "Leisure White Paper 2018", the number of people playing pachinko in

2017 is 9 million, with net sales (charge for rental steel balls/coins) of JPY19.54 trillion,

showing a decline in net sales for the 5 consecutive years. The sales peaked in 2005 at JPY34.862 trillion, and have been on a declining trend thereafter. The main cause for drop in net sales is a decrease in the number of people playing pachinko. The number has been declining year by year due to the increased diversification in entertainment options available, defection of customers resulting from diminished gambling factor due to revision of law, and increased social attention towards pachinko addictions. The latest figure of number of people playing pachinko in 2017 was 9 million people, about 30% of what it was in 1995, 29 million people. On the other hand, the net sales per customer, calculated by dividing net sales by the number of customers, hit an all- time high of approximately JPY2.58 million in 2013 and the average of 2.1 million yen has been maintained ever since. This indicates that the main customers have changed from light to heavy users.

Number

of

According to the document released by Zennichi Yuren (All-Japan game business

pachinko halls

federation), the trends in the number of pachinko halls and game machines are as

and

game

follow. The number of pachinko halls has been declining since 1996 for 22 consecutive

machines

years and the number of pachinko game machines has declined for 7 consecutive

installed

years. Further, the number of slot machines has turned to decrease for the first time in

8 years. According to "Leisure White Paper 20162018", average store size has grown

as a result of number of small to medium size stores declining greatly and large-scale stores opening in various areas. Average number of pachinko machines per store exceeds 400. Most of the new launches are of companies seeking expansion and oligopolization, and are backed by supplies of vacant stores available due to increase of owners pulling out of business.

The subject area falls under a remain, "Mukaigawara Iseki". However, according

to the hearing conducted with the department in charge, test excavation was

conducted in 1996 at Koriyama city's cost. Therefore, we have judged that the

probability of further excavation being conducted is low.

Therefore, we have concluded that this factor does not influence determinants of value in this analysis.

Soil contamination Whether the property is designated as an area requiring measures under Act for Controlling Soil Contamination or as an area requiring notification upon changing its character.

: Not designated

However, according to the material provided by the client, "Result of soil investigation conducted upon building a new store, Rakuza Rakuichi Koriyama Bijutsukan-dori ten (dated October 2001)" prepared by Sinkyo-tisui, Company, it is stated that "out of substances detected during the soil testing, detected amounts of each of the substance except for fluorine were all either within or slightly above environmental quality standards. As for fluorine, it was detected in all areas of testing and its detected amounts exceeded environmental quality standard. Although the detected substance was a sort that could also exist in the natural world, in this case, it needs to be noted that factories handling chemical substances existed in the neighbourhood of the subject area of investigation in the past and continue to exist, and that the subject area of investigation itself had been used as chemical factory in the past. Further, according to the existing data, lead, mercury, and their chemical compounds had been detected from the soils of the neighbourhood with amounts exceeding quality standard. Based on these facts, it had been assumed that contaminated substances could be

detected from the area through the investigation. As suspected, fluorine and

lead, the heavy metal, were detected with amount above environmental

standard."

As per mentioned in the conditions for scope of work, this factor is eliminated

from determinants of values in this analysis.

The above conclusion only indicates the existence/non-existence of signs of soil

contamination that are found within the scope of our normal research, and it

does not prove that there is no risk of soil contamination.

Subsoil objects

Based on the appraiser's original research conducted which include objective

information, hearings and appearance inspection at the site, it is assumed that

there exist no subsoil objects. Therefore, this factor is excluded from

determinants of value in the analysis.

The above conclusion only indicates the existence/non-existence of signs of

subsoil objects that are found within the scope of our normal research, and it

does not prove that there is no risk of subsoil objects.

Borders

According to the hearing with the department in charge, borders of the subject

property are confirmed.

Further, based on the site inspection and hearings conducted, three sides of the

subject property are surrounded by public roads and water channels. Adjacent

areas are owned by the same owner, and therefore there are no boarder

disputes. No serious crossing of boarders that may impact on its value has been

admitted as far as the site inspection.

However, as per mentioned in the conditions for scope of work, this factor is

eliminated from determinants of values in this analysis.

Further, the above conclusion only indicates the existence/non-existence of

signs of the crossing of borders that are found within the scope of our normal

research, and it does not prove that there is no risk.

FAR: Effective 8.76%< Permitted 200.00%(upon construction)

Although the subject property does not fully utilize its permitted FAR, it

matches the standard use of the neighbourhood and the building is efficiently

located within the site. Further, subject property secures sufficient space for

parking lot, and taking into account the use of the subject property, spacious

parking lot is considered not to become a negative factor.

Therefore, the efficiency of site use is maximized.

Competitiveness of the

The nearest station is "Koriyama" Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line.

Subject Property

The subject property is located at an approximately 10-minute walk from this

station. Its frontage road has a heavy traffic and its visibility and ability to pull

in customers are high. The site is a 3-street lot, larger than the standard lot.

Based on the above, the competitiveness of the subject property in terms of

location/site is average.

The building analysis is as mentioned in the earlier section. The subject

property is a low-riseowner-occupied retail store. Its maintenance is up to

date, and there are enough parking spaces secured to cover the needs of the

building of its size and the building covers necessary functions required by

prospective tenants. Although prospective tenant will be limited for its large

size, considering its prime location demands for re-tenanting can be well

expected. Based on the above, the competitiveness of the subject in terms of

building features is average.

Both land and building are owned by the same entity, and there is no factor

which inhibits marketability and competitiveness of the subject.

Taking into account all of the above, we have concluded that the

competitiveness of the subject property is judged to be average.

The subject property is identified as an Owner-occupied Building and its Site, and the cost approach and income approach are applied to conclude value. The sales comparison approach for building and its site as a whole is not applicable due to lack of sufficient sales comparables.

8.2. Cost Approach

The cost approach value is determined by deducting the necessary depreciation from the replacement cost at the date of valuation.

The process of estimation is shown in Appendix 3: Cost Approach Value Estimate Table.

8.2.1. Replacement Cost

The replacement cost of the site and the building are estimated, to which the incidental expense is added to assess the subject's replacement cost.

8.2.1.1. Land(Vacant Land)

The vacant land value is estimated by applying the sales comparison approach, with reference to the benchmark value. The process of the estimation is shown in Appendix 4: Land Value Estimate Table.

In this analysis, the standard value of the standard lot has been estimated at JPY 86,000 per sq. m, putting emphasis on the sales comparison approach value which reflects the actual state of the market, although there is a difference between the sales comparison approach value and the benchmark value.

The value of the subject land is assessed by multiplying the amount of land areas by the unit value which is estimated by adjusting for the attributes of the subject site. The basis for adjustment for the subject's attributes is as follows.

8.2.1.2. Building

We have estimated the value of the building by comparing with construction costs of similar buildings. As for structures, we have estimated the value by comparing with acquisition value of similar buildings.

8.2.1.3. IncidentalExpense(Entrepreneurial Profit and Other Costs)

Incidental expenses are estimated by considering the following:

  • Direct cost related to land such as acquisition fee, a development application fee and property tax, etc.
  • Direct cost to building such as design/ supervision fee, building certificate application fee and registration fee, etc.
  • Cost to building and its site such as financing cost and the equivalent amount of development risk, etc.

8.2.2. Depreciation

8.2.2.1. Depreciation for Land

No depreciation is deducted for land.

8.2.2.2. Depreciation for Building

The depreciation value of the building etc.,(building and structures) is assessed by applying both useful life depreciation and observation depreciation.

As for useful life depreciation, we classify the components of the building into the building frame, the finishing and the installation, then assesses each depreciation rate considering age and remained economic useful life. Residual rate at the end of useful life is estimated at 0%. As for observation depreciation, we conclude that there is no adjustment considering physical depreciation confirmed upon site inspection and competitiveness of the subject property obtained through market analysis.

8.2.2.3. Depreciation for IncidentalExpense

Depreciation rate is estimated based on the useful life for the building (economic useful life of the building frame).

8.2.2.4. Depreciation as Improved

No depreciation is recognized for the subject property as improved because the subject property is maintained in the highest and best use.

8.3. Income Approach

Although the subject property is an owner-occupied land and building, the value is estimated assuming it will be leased. The value estimate (income value) is derived by calculating the total sum of the present value for the expected future net cash flow for the subject property. The income approach value is estimated using the direct capitalization.

The direct capitalization method derives a net cash flow ("NCF") of a single year, and capitalizes this with a capitalization rate to estimate value.

8.3.1. Subject's New Market Rent

Before application of the income approach, the subject's new market rent which affects the capitalization rate of net cash flow for a single year in the direct capitalization method is assessed.

8.3.1.1. Rent Comparables

The contract/asking rents for competing properties in the surrounding area are as follows (including partial estimates).

9. Reconciliation and Conclusion of value

9.1. Reconsideration of the Value Estimates

The value estimates shown below have been obtained, and the values are reconsidered to determine our confidence and conclude valuation.

Cost Approach Value

JPY 1,530,000,000

Income Approach Value

JPY 1,130,000,000

The cost approach focuses on cost. For assessment of replacement cost, the sales comparison approach has been applied for land, with sufficient reference to the benchmark price. As for the building and structures, the construction costs, etc. of similar buildings has been taken into account to estimate the replacement cost. We estimate the incidental expenses taking into account the market condition of various expenses for land and building etc., There is no depreciation for land, and a combination of useful life and observed depreciation is used to assess depreciation of the building etc., As for the incidental expenses, we depreciate in terms of the period to hold its usefulness.

In addition, we have estimated considering the marketability as a building and its site.

The cost approach value derived as above is an empirical value supported by sufficient data.

The income approach value mainly focuses on profitability. In the analysis, the direct capitalization method is used to estimate value.

Net operating income derived from assessment of income approach value using in direct capitalization method is estimated through referring to actual figures of similar properties. Further, the capitalization rate is estimated through "comparison with similar properties", reflecting current market conditions.

As subject property is an owner-occupied retail building, and includes multiple assumptions upon assessment of net operating income, reliability of the income approach value is relatively low.

Further, the following issues are considered:

  • Appropriateness of selection, evaluation and use of data
  • Appropriateness of use of the basic principles that underlie value of real estate
  • Appropriateness of factor analyses
  • Appropriateness of judgments regarding adjustments in applying each approach
  • Consistency of judgments of factors that affect value common to each approach
  • Appropriateness of the relationship between unit price and aggregate value

9.2. Judgments Regarding the Level of Conviction of each Value Estimate

The subject property is an owner-occupied retail building and major prospective tenants, companies etc., considering opening new stores, are judged to make investment decisions based on cost required for opening new stores and asset value of the subject property. Therefore, the value which reflects actual state of the market is judged to be cost approach value.

9.3. Appraised Value

Therefore, we consider the cost approach value to be of primary relevance, while the income approach value has been used as reference, and we have concluded the value of the subject property as of the date of valuation as follows..
