2 [Exhibit] Assumptions for Forecasts of Financial Results for the Fiscal Period Ending October 31, 2015

Item	Assumptions
Period	・ 24th fiscal period: May 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015
Investment Portfolio	・ The Fund assumes that the investment portfolio consisting of 55 properties owned by the Fund as of the end of the 23rd fiscal period will remain unchanged up to the end of the 24th fiscal period (October 31, 2015). ・ In practice, the investment portfolio is subject to potential change.
Operating Revenues	・ The forecast of operating revenues for the 24th fiscal period is based upon the operating revenues from 55 properties owned by the Fund as of end of the 23rd fiscal period. ・ The forecasts of the level of the rent and vacancy rates are based on the trend of tenants, competing buildings in the neighborhood, and the recent real estate market trend, etc. ・ Assumed that there is no rent in arrears and nonpayment of the rent.
Operating Expenses	・ In general, the fixed asset taxes and urban planning taxes imposed on the properties in the tax year (including the date) of transaction are distributed to the seller and the purchaser on a daily pro-rata basis and settled at the time of acquisition, and such taxes are deemed as the acquisition costs, not expenses. ・ However, as to the 54 out of the 55 properties currently owned, of the estimated amount of annual tax, ¥1,227 million will be allocated as rental business expenses. ・ Outsourcing expenses are estimated at ¥1,578 million. ・ As for the repair and maintenance, the Asset Management Company (Nomura Real Estate Asset Management Co., Ltd.) estimates the required amounts for the respective properties for each of the fiscal periods based on the medium- and long-term repair plans. However, it is possible that the actual repair expenses for the fiscal periods may differ significantly from the estimates since (i) an unforeseeable event might cause serious damage to a building requiring emergent repair expenditure, (ii) amounts might vary year by year, and (iii) certain types of repair expenses are not required every year. ・ Rental revenues after deducting the rental expenses (including depreciation costs) is estimated at ¥6,840 million (excluding profits on sale of real estate, etc.). Depreciation costs are estimated at ¥1,894 million. ・ The operating expenses other than the rental expenses (including asset custody fees and general administration fees) are estimated at ¥1,280 million.
Non-Operating Expenses	・ Interest payable is estimated at ¥1,282 million. ・ Loan-related expenses are estimated at ¥101 million.
Interest-Bearing Debts	・ The amount of the Fund's interest-bearing debts outstanding as of today is ¥162,450 million of loan and ¥34,500 million of investment corporation bonds. ・ Concerning the borrowings of ¥11,750 million which will mature by the last business day of the 24th fiscal period (October 31, 2015), the Fund assumes that the entire amount will be refinanced excluding the scheduled repayment of ¥250 million. ・ The Fund assumes that there will be no changes in debt amounts other than the above.
Investment Units	・ The Fund assumes that the number of investment units is 372,553 units outstanding as of today.
Cash Distribution per Unit	・ Cash distribution per unit is calculated according to the Fund's distribution policy outlined in its Articles of Incorporation. ・ Cash distribution per unit may vary due to various factors, including changes in the investment portfolio, changes in rent income caused by the tenant
