<Rationale>
Daibiru Corporation is a real estate company that is affiliated with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines. Its consolidated operating income for FY 2009 ending March 31, 2010 is expected to drop 8.9% year-on-year to 9.1 billion yen owing to the increasing start-up costs for the buildings, which were completed during the fiscal year, in addition to the drop in the rent revenue associated with renovation, although new buildings boosted the earnings. Although JCR considers it necessary to keep in mind that the vacancy rates of its properties in Tokyo area are increasing, the full-year operation of the Tosabori Daibiru Building will enable the Company to maintain a satisfactory level of earnings for FY2010 ending March 31, 2011. It retains a relatively good financial structure. However, the interest-bearing debt has been on the rise in recent years and the debt level is expected to remain high because the Company will start investments in the Nakanoshima Daibiru Building West and other properties. JCR considers that the Company can curb the increase in the interest-bearing debt to a certain degree by way of the cash flow to be generated and that there will be little concern over the deterioration in the financial structure going forward.
