1. Overview during the period
a. Investment environment and operation
(i) Investment environment
Japanese monetary policy has been normalized with an interest rate hike for the first time in 17 years, following the lifting of the negative interest rate policy in March 2024. The stock market continued to rise with the Nikkei Stock Average hitting an all-time high, backed by corporate efforts to improve ROE and expectations for a transition to an inflationary economy due to a policy change by the Bank of Japan ("BOJ"). While there were signs that private consumption lacks strength, the Japanese economy was generally on a recovery trend during this period thanks to increases in corporate capital expenditures and the number of overseas visitors to Japan as well as improvements in the employment and wage environments. On the other hand, it is still necessary to pay close attention to continuing uncertainties resulting from the depreciation of the Japanese yen due to the robust economy in the United States and the outcome of their upcoming presidential election, as well as the surge in energy and raw material prices due to international affairs.
Financial markets, which are closely related to the real estate investment market, have fluctuated amid continuing uncertainty regarding the outlook for the interest rate policy, as expectations of additional interest rate hikes by the BOJ and postponement of the start of the FRB's rate cuts have grown. However, the real estate investment market has remained highly competitive, particularly among domestic investors who continue to show a strong appetite for investment.
Similar to the last period, the real estate leasing market in Japan remained strong across the board during this period.
The hotel sector has seen a recovery trend in both the room occupancy rate and room rates, owing to continued domestic demand and the increasing number of overseas visitors to Japan. As a result, RevPAR (Note) has already exceeded the pre-pandemic level at many hotels.
In retail facilities, both service and product sales have been steady thanks to a revitalization of economic activity and a recovery in demand from overseas visitors, and tenants' performance has been resilient overall.
In the office market, the decrease in demand attributed to employees working more often remotely, as seen in Europe and the United States, has not been observed in Japan. The impact of the significant new supply of large- scale office buildings in central Tokyo has been stabilized at the mid-5% range due to relocation demand for the purpose of expanding office areas and improving the office location. Rents in the Tokyo business district have continued to be on an upward trend.
Residential demand remains strong, and the occupancy rates as well as rents have been stable across the country.
In the logistics (warehouse) market, supply is continuing to grow in areas near major cities nationwide, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. While the occupancy rates have been trending downward, rents have remained flat.
Note: RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) means hotel sales per marketable guest rooms per day calculated by "Hotel sales from guest rooms per day / the number of marketable guest rooms."
(ii) New acquisition and sale of property
During the period, United Urban acquired the following two properties.

- United Urban acquired the compartmentalized ownership of the eighth floor of Toranomon Hills Business Tower and co- ownership of the site thereof (total ratio of co-ownership: 3.05%).
- The acquisition asset is 10% quasi co-ownership of the trust beneficial interest of the compartmentalized ownership in a part of OSAKA BAY TOWER (55.4% of the entire property), and the ratio of the acquisition asset to the entire property is 5.54%. As United Urban holds 20% quasi co-ownership of the trust beneficial interest including the existing holding, 11.08% of the ownership ratio of the entire property belongs to United Urban.
- The sale price of Fuchu Building shows the sale price of the land portion of the property. The building portion was sold on March 31, 2022.
- Portfolio overview

In addition, the total leasable floor space was 1,628,283.16 sq. m. and the total numbers of tenants were 2,994.
United Urban has continued to focus on maintaining occupancy rates during the period. Thereby, the occupancy rate for the entire portfolio at the end of each month during the period fluctuated between 98.9% and 99.2%, and stood at 98.9% at the end of the 41st fiscal period (as of May 31, 2024).
(iv) Sustainability initiatives
United Urban and MRA support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to realize a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive society through initiatives that help resolve environmental, social, and economic problems and create new value ("Sustainability Activities"). Furthermore, we have set following reduction targets:
- reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 (compared with 2021)
- achieve net zero GHG emissions, including within the value chain (Scope 3), by 2050.
For our climate change initiatives, United Urban and MRA have set a medium-term target for the environment certification coverage rate for 80% of the properties in United Urban's portfolio based on gross floor area, (excluding land) by the end of 2024, and have achieved 83.9%, exceeding our target, as of May 31, 2024. Moreover, as a result of our Sustainability Activities, in the 2023 survey of the GRESB Real Estate Assessment, an international benchmark for measuring ESG integration of real estate companies and funds, United Urban received 4 Stars in the five-level GRESB Rating (the second-highest level). Moreover, in the results for GRESB Public Disclosure Level Assessment, United Urban received the highest level: A.
MRA expressed support for the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) in January 2022. A cross-organizational team representing MRA departments conducted a scenario analysis of climate risks and opportunities for United Urban's portfolio. The team followed the TCFD's recommendations, then disclosed the result of their analysis on the sustainability website (https://uur- sustainability.com/en/sustainability/).

c. Overview of financial results and distribution
As for financial result of the fiscal period, United Urban achieved operating revenues of ¥25,981 million (up by 2.5% from the previous period), profit from rental activities of ¥14,504 million (up by 7.2% from the previous period), operating income of ¥12,215 million (up by 7.1% from the previous period), ordinary income of ¥11,170 million (up by 7.7% from the previous period), and net income of ¥11,169 million (up by 7.7% from the previous period).
During the period under the review, United Urban added ¥77 million, which is a reversal of the reserve for temporary difference adjustments in accordance with "Ordinance on Accountings of Investment Corporations" and "Regulations Concerning Real Estate Investment Trusts and Real Estate Investment Corporations" stipulated by the Investment Trusts Association, Japan to ¥11,169 million of unappropriated retained earnings to distribute. As a result, United Urban decided to distribute ¥11,244 million, and cash distribution per unit was ¥3,629.
2. Outlook for the next fiscal period a. Outlook for overall operation
Uncertainty is expected to persist in politics and economics in Japan. However, the Japanese economy is anticipated to stay on a gradual recovery trend. Following the current period, the forecast is for both the investment and leasing markets to continue to be strong in the next period.
United Urban's portfolio is almost completely diversified, and profitability has been stabilized through investments across all asset types. The investment and leasing markets continue to be uncertain, but we believe that it is important to distinguish market conditions as well as to have steady profits from the entire portfolio by focusing on stable operations that can adapt to social changes.
Based on this understanding of the business environment, United Urban-while closely watching the trends in the real estate investment market-will take a proactive approach to a wide range of real estate investment opportunities and will continue with selective investments by applying varied methods as well as asset replacement. These initiatives should be effective for maintaining a high-quality portfolio. For existing properties, United Urban continually focuses on stable management by maintaining or increasing occupancy rates, renewing terms and conditions with the aim to raise rents, as well as the profitability and stability of the portfolio and reducing business costs, among other actions. Furthermore, United Urban intends to stabilize cash distributions by using retained earnings effectively.
Regarding financial management, United Urban is continuing to create a robust and sound financial base by controlling the LTV level, reducing the cost of financing, diversifying the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities, and ensuring adequate liquidity.
7
Looking at the sustainable growth of United Urban, including maximizing unitholder value, engaging with stakeholders, and coexisting with the environment and society, United Urban is dedicated not only to improving finances but also to resolving several of the nonfinancial issues associated with ESG (environment, society, and governance) as well as the UN's SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

Notes: 1. The resource for cash distributions for the fiscal period ending November 30, 2024 is the result of deducting a provision of reserve for reduction entry (¥627 million) from the net income and adding a reversal of reserve for temporary difference adjustments (¥77 million) to the net income. Therefore, it differs from "net income" of the fiscal period. The resource for cash distributions for the fiscal period ending May 31, 2025 is the result of adding a reversal of reserve for reduction entry (¥313 million) and a reversal of reserve for temporary difference adjustments (¥77 million) to the net income. Therefore, it differs from "net income" of the fiscal period. In addition, cash distributions per unit is based on the total number of investment units issued and outstanding of 3,098,591 units as of the date hereof, and it is based on the assumption that there will be no additional issuance of investment units until May 31, 2025.
2. The above-listedforward-looking statements are our current expectations produced as of the date hereof, based on certain assumptions. Accordingly, the actual operating revenues, operating income, ordinary income, net income, cash distributions per unit and distributions in excess of earnings per unit may differ from forecasts because of future acquisitions and sales of properties, real estate market trends and changes in other situations concerning United Urban. In addition, the forward- looking statements are not guarantees of the payment amount of any cash distributions by United Urban.
