Forward-looking Statements Disclaimer
In making forward-looking statements about the forecasts for the 45th and 46th fiscal periods, certain assumptions have been made. We consider that these assumptions were appropriate and reasonable based on the information available to us when we made the forecasts. However, our actual operating results, and therefore the distribution per unit, may differ from our expectations and will be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, or may not be capable of being foreseen or accurately predicted. For example, our actual distribution amount could be affected by the rental revenues we actually receive from our properties, and/or our operating expenses, interest expenses and the ability of our tenants to meet their financial obligations during the relevant period. It may also be affected by economic conditions in Japan and conditions relating to the real estate market in Japan, particularly in Tokyo. These factors and others could also affect the validity of the assumptions that we used in the preparation of our forecasts. No assurance can be given by us or by any other party that our forecasts will prove accurate.
