31st Period (August 2021) Overview of Investment
Main Trend of NAF
NAF is a J-REIT that invests in “Accommodation Assets,” which it defines as real estate that ismainly used/may be used for residence or hotels. Based on the Act on Investment Trusts andInvestment Corporations (hereinafter “Investment Trust Act”), NAF was established on October 12,
2005, and was listed on the Real Estate Investment Trust Securities Market (J-REIT Market) of theTokyo Stock Exchange on August 4, 2006 (securities code number: 3226).
Since being listed, NAF has continued to acquire properties and the assets under management at
the end of the period under review consisted of 134 properties at a total acquisition price of¥337,930 million (assets at time of listing: 27 properties at a total acquisition price of ¥101,385
million).
Investment Environment
During the six months ended August 31, 2021 (the “31st Period”), the Japanese economy
showed signs of recovery, despite the continuing severe situation due to the impact of the novel
coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Exports increased moderately due to the recovery of overseas
economies, and corporate performance and capital investment, especially in the manufacturingindustry, also recovered. However, personal consumption continued to be weak, primarily in the
consumption of services, as the number of people infected with COVID-19 continued to increase.
In NAF’s main investment area, the residential rental market, the number of tenant signing
contracts and contract cancellations decreased significantly compared to previous years due tothe thorough refrain from going out in the same period of the previous year, but in the period
under review, tenant recruitment activities were generally conducted as usual even though the
spread of the infections continued.
In the real estate trading market, transactions were carried out in a proactive manner as demand
from investors with regard to rental apartments, where occupancy and revenue is stable, wassteady.
External Growth (Acquisition and sale of properties)
During the period under review, NAF acquired seven properties in total (acquisition price of ¥19,400
million) including four properties (of which, two were additional acquisition of co-ownership) in April
2021 and three properties in June 2021.

Internal Growth (Management and operation of properties held by NAF)
In this environment, as a result of Mitsui Fudosan Residential Lease Co., Ltd., the property
management company of NAF, and Mitsui Fudosan Accommodations Fund Management Co., Ltd.,the asset management company of NAF, properly collaborating and working on management andoperation of NAF’s rental apartments portfolio, occupancy rates for rental apartments were 95.7%
at the end of the period under review, and rent change before and after turnover maintained an
upward trend at 2.0% at the time of tenant turnover. In addition, NAF aims to reduce costs by
utilizing the merits of outsourcing all property management tasks to the property managementcompany while examining, whenever necessary, the adequacy of the grade of property
management, cost of management and operation.
Meanwhile in the management of “Hospitality Facilities” (Note), rental revenue is stable because NAF
concludes long-term contracts regarding fixed rents to a professional operator or businesscorporation. Regarding the circumstances of each property, despite the continuing difficult situation
for hotels, dormitories and corporate housing as well as senior residences have been stably
occupied in general. In addition, the asset management company regularly monitors the
management and operational activities, and makes adjustments through professional dialog withthe operator or business corporation as necessary.
In order to maintain and improve the competitiveness of NAF’s portfolio, operations, such as
appropriate renewal work according to the property age, and work to enhance the property value,
are systematically carried out, and in the period under review, NAF carried out facility upgrades
and renovations in private areas at Okawabata Apartment Communities, etc. In addition, NAF is
not only making continuous efforts to reduce costs, but also introducing such features asenvironmentally friendly, energy-saving facilities, which includes changing the lighting in common
areas to LED lighting, in a timely manner.
(Note) “Hospitality Facilities” is a generic term for “Accommodation Assets” that includes the four categories of“Dormitories, Corporate Housing,” “Serviced Apartments,” “Senior Residences,” and “Hotels,” excluding“Rental Apartments.”

Financial Strategy (Overview of funds procurement)
NAF’s basic policy is to carry out operations in a conservative manner that gives consideration tosuch matters as maintaining stable distributions in the medium and long term. In the period underreview, NAF continued to pursue financing from various sources with diversified repayment dates
and an emphasis on long-term, fixed-rate loans in its procurement of funds by taking into accountmarket trends and interest rate levels, and refinancing existing loans.
As a result, at the end of the period, total interest-bearing debt amounted to ¥169,500 million(¥10,000 million increase from previous period), the long-term debt ratio was 97.6%, the long-term,
fixed-rate debt ratio was 95.3%, and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio was 51.7%. The averageremaining maturity of long-term interest-bearing debt was 4.8 years and the number of financial
institutions was 26. Furthermore, the weighted average interest rate at the end of the period was
0.52%.
NAF also has secured a commitment line for the purpose of securing flexible and stable fundprocurement methods. At the end of the period under review, its total maximum borrowing amountwas ¥15,000 million.
With respect to financing through investment corporation bonds, NAF filed a shelf-registration
statement regarding its establishment of a maximum issuance amount for investment corporation5

bonds for public offering in July 2021. The remaining balance of the planned issuance amount at
the end of the period is ¥100,000 million.

Management Policy and Issues for the 32nd Period Onward
Looking ahead, the Japanese economy is expected to continue to recover, backed by the recovery
of overseas economies as vaccination progresses. However, depending on the trends in COVID19 infections, including spread of mutated strains of the virus, there are risks of stagnation in thedomestic and overseas economies, and furthermore it is necessary to give consideration to risks
impacting the real estate market and financial and capital markets.
While the supply of quality rental apartments in which NAF would invest continues to be limited in
the 23 wards of Tokyo, where nearly 90 percent of NAF’s rental apartments portfolio is located,
and in the urban areas of other major cities (Note), the overall supply of rental apartments is gradually
increasing. On the other hand, the needs of tenants to live in urban centers are expected to remain
firm, but attention must be paid to demographic changes, changing needs for housing due todiversifying working styles and etc.
Concerning the real estate trading market, the placement of quality rental apartments as stable
investment assets is not expected to change, but trends among financial and capital markets andinvestors resulting from the spread of COVID-19 should be carefully assessed.
(Note) “Other major cities” refers to each of the urban areas of Sapporo, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe,
Hiroshima and Fukuoka.

External Growth (New acquisition of properties)
NAF steadily acquires competitive properties that can respond to future changes in demand trends,
leveraging our pipeline to the Mitsui Fudosan Group and enhancing information channel at theasset management company.
While concentrating on a property acquisition strategy of stable acquisition of “Rental Apartments,”
NAF will acquire “Hospitality Facilities,” which are properties that offer stable revenue andcompetitiveness over the long term. NAF will keep the Hospitality Facilities’ share of the portfolio(based on acquisition price) to a maximum of 10% in the near-term, and carry out operations that
carefully select properties to acquire.
Internal Growth (Management and operation of leasehold properties)
NAF aims to achieve solid internal growth while maintaining asset value in the long term by carryingout dynamic leasing that can flexibly respond to the balance of supply and demand in the market
going forward and changes in tenants’ needs as well as maintaining and improving rent levels andoccupancy rate, and reducing costs, through optimal management and operational activities thatutilize the value chain and highly specialized knowhow of the Mitsui Fudosan Group.
Financial Strategy
In regard to borrowings, taking into account borrowing cost, NAF will conduct financing activities
that emphasize on financing by long-term, fixed-rate loans and diversified repayment dates bytaking measures to counter future interest rate risks and refinancing risks. With respect to the upper
limit of LTV ratio, although the limit is set at around 60% in the asset management guidelines, NAF
is aiming for a near-term upper limit at a level of around 55% in its external growth process.
NAF will examine the necessity of issuance of new units by paying attention to market trends anddistribution amount levels, and taking into consideration the demand for funds for the purpose of7

property acquisition, as well as our financial position. Additionally, NAF will examine futureissuances of investment corporation bonds in accordance with market trends, within the range ofthe remaining balance of planned issuance amount for which shelf-registration of NAF bonds has
been carried out.
