I am pleased to hereby report the business overview of theMitsubishi Logistics Group for the 204th fiscal term, the yearended March 31, 2007.
During the year under review, the Asian economiesincluding China maintained high growth rates and the U.S. andEuropean economies remained firm. Meanwhile, the Japaneseeconomy continued a gradual recovery as consumer spendingand exports were steady and private-sector capital investmentcontinued to expand.
In these economic conditions, the business environmentsurrounding the Group was relatively positive in our mainstaybusiness segments, “Logistics” and “Real Estate.” For Logistics,freight volumes handled by the warehousing and port and harboroperations tended to increase despite the adverse effects oflogistics rationalization among customers and intensifiedcompetition. For Real Estate, the vacancy rate improved and therent level even increased in several urban areas for the rental ofoffice buildings and commercial facilities.
Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Logistics Grouppromoted aggressive marketing activities. In Logistics, wemainly strove to extend distribution center operations forpharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, improve operational efficiencyat the container terminals and enhance sales systems andimprove operational bases in the United States. In Real Estate,we completed and started operation of the Yokohama BayQuarter with commercial complex buildings for lease as part of alarge-scale development project (first stage) in the YokohamaPortside Area, and focused our efforts on securing good tenantsvia renovation of core facilities and enhanced early sales oflarge-scale condominiums in the Yokohama Portside Area.Meanwhile, we endeavored to further improve businessperformance via thorough cost management and efficiencyimprovement of diverse business operations.
As a result, revenue from operations increased for both theLogistics and Real Estate segments over the previous fiscal year,reaching a combined ¥190,111 million, an increase of ¥23,572million, or 14.2%, from the previous fiscal year. Operatingexpenses on the whole increased ¥18,119 million, or 12.1%, yearover year to ¥168,369 million, principally due to an increase ofoperational costs in Logistics and increases in the cost ofproperty for sale in Real Estate. Selling, general andadministrative expenses increased ¥780 million, or 15.0%, yearover year to ¥5,992 million, reflecting an increase in the numberof consolidated subsidiaries.
As a consequence, operating income rose ¥4,672 million, or42.2%, year over year to ¥15,749 million reflecting the increasedrevenue for both the Logistics and Real Estate segments, andordinary income rose ¥4,815 million, or 40.3%, to ¥16,764million, partly due to an improved financial account balance, ona consolidated basis. Consolidated net income surged ¥6,667million, or 86.2%, to ¥14,404 million, from the previous fiscalyear owing to extraordinary gains of ¥4,460 million incompensation money from the cancellation of major tenants at acommercial complex for rent in Kobe and a ¥2,936 million gainon disposal of fixed assets due to the replacement of awarehousing site in Nagoya.
In the coming year, the global economy is anticipated tomaintain stable growth mainly in Europe and Asia despite the
uncertainty of the U.S. economy. The Japanese economy is alsoexpected to remain firm, supported by the increase in capitalinvestment and steady consumer spending despite the concern ofa decline in exports.
In this economic climate, the business conditions of theGroup will likely remain unchanged only with slightimprovements in view of the effects of logistics rationalizationdespite the expected growth in volume in the warehousing andport and harbor operations business and the intensifying marketcompetition in the Real Estate business despite several signs ofan improved supply-demand relationship.
Under these circumstances, the Mitsubishi Logistics Groupwill strive to increase operating income in Logistics andmaintain and improve the growth potential in Real Estate bypromoting redevelopment projects, in line with the five-yearmedium-term management plan that becomes effective in theyear ended March 31, 2007 (FY 2006).
As for the distribution of profits of Mitsubishi Logistics forthe year ended March 31, 2007, we intend to distribute a year-end dividend of ¥7 per share, taking into account operatingresults for the year and including a commemorative dividend of¥2 per share in memory of the Company’s 120th anniversary onApril 15, 2007. As a result, the annual dividend per shareincluding the interim dividend per share totals ¥12, an increaseof ¥2 from the previous year.
For the year ending March 31, 2008, we will follow the basicpolicy of ensuring stable dividends in view of the profit levelalthough net income for the next fiscal year is expected to belower than that for the year under review, when it increasedconsiderably due to temporary factors. Accordingly, unlessexceptional circumstances occur, we intend to distribute anannual dividend per share of ¥12, which is equal to the yearunder review and will consist of an interim dividend per share of¥6 and a year-end dividend per share of ¥6.
We look forward to your continued support andencouragement.
June 2007
Naoshi Ban, President

CONSOLIDATION
In consolidation, all significant inter-company transactions andaccount balances are eliminated. Differences between theacquisition costs and underlying net equities of investments inconsolidated subsidiaries are recorded as goodwill in theconsolidated balance sheets and amortized over five years on astraight-line basis.

2007 2006 2005Consolidated subsidiaries 23 19 19Unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates under the equity method 10 11 11
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies aretranslated into Japanese yen at the year-end rates.
Gains or losses resulting from conversion are credited orcharged to income as incurred.
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
13
MARKETABLE AND INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities (see explanation (d) below) withavailable fair market values are stated at fair market value.Unrealized gains and unrealized losses on these securities arereported, net of applicable income taxes, as a separate componentof shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on sale of suchsecurities are computed using moving-average cost. Available-for-sale securities with no available fair value are stated atmoving-average cost. Equity securities issued by unconsolidatedsubsidiaries and affiliated companies which are not consolidatedor accounted for using the equity method are stated at moving-average cost.
Upon the accounting standard for financial instruments, allcompanies are required to examine the intent of holding eachsecurity and classify those securities as (a) securities held fortrading purposes (hereafter, “trading securities”), (b) debtsecurities intended to be held to maturity (hereafter, “held-to-maturity debt securities”), (c) equity securities issued bysubsidiaries and affiliated companies, and (d) for all othersecurities that are not classified in any of the above categories(“available-for-sale securities”).
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries only holdthose securities classified as equity securities issued bysubsidiaries and affiliated companies, and available-for-salesecurities.
If the market value of available-for-sale securities declinessignificantly, such securities are stated at fair market value andthe difference between fair market value and the carrying amountis recognized as loss in the period of the decline. For equitysecurities with no available fair market value, if the net assetvalue of the investee decline significantly, such securities arerequired to be written down to the net asset value with thecorresponding losses in the period of decline. In these cases, suchfair market value or the net asset value will be the carryingamount of the securities at the beginning of the next year.
REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE
Real estate held for sale is valued on the specific identificationcost method.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes consist of corporation, enterprise and inhabitantstaxes. The provision for income taxes is computed based on thepretax income of the Company and each of its consolidatedsubsidiaries with certain adjustments required for consolidatedand tax purposes. The asset and liability approach is used torecognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for loss carryforwardsand the expected future tax consequences of temporarydifferences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases ofassets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reducedeferred tax assets based on the assessment of the realizability ofthe tax benefits.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, DEPRECIATION
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation ofdepreciable assets, except for leased commercial facilities(buildings), is computed on a declining-balance method over theestimated useful lives based on the Corporate Income Tax Lawin Japan.
The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assetsretired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the relatedaccounts and the gains or losses on disposal is credited orcharged to income. Expenditures for new facilities and thosewhich substantially increase the useful lives of existing propertyand equipment are capitalized. Maintenance, repair and minorrenewals are charged to expense as incurred.
Effective April 1, 2004, the Company depreciates leasedcommercial facilities (buildings) by a straight-line method overthe economic useful lives of the assets (20-year period isconsidered to be a standard economic useful life, however itvaries depending on the contract terms etc.). The depreciation iscomputed assuming the residual value of the assets is nil.
The Company had applied a declining balance methodover the estimated useful lives of the assets provided byJapanese Corporate Tax Law for depreciation of commercialfacilities for lease (buildings) in the same way as other tangiblefixed assets. However, since commercial facilities for lease arebuilt on the presumption that a specific tenant uses the facilitiesfor the specific contract terms, it is difficult to renew the contractor lease the facilities to another tenant after the expiration of thecontract term. Thus, it is preferable to depreciate the leasedcommercial facilities matched against revenue from leases overthe contract term of the lease.
The Company recalculated the accumulated depreciationfor existing commercial facilities for lease as of April 1, 2004assuming that a new depreciation method and economic usefullives were applied retroactively, and recorded the difference ofas special depreciation presented in the statements of operations.
Because of the change in the depreciation method etc., thedepreciation expense is increased by ¥512 million, whichconsists of increase in ¥693 million with change in the usefullives of assets and decrease in ¥181 million with change from adeclining balance method to a straight-line method, and recorded¥3,430 million as special depreciation. As a result, operatingincome is decreased by ¥512 million and income before incometaxes and minority interests is decreased by ¥3,942 million forthe year ended March 31, 2005. The effect on this change tosegment information is mentioned in Note 18.
Effective April 1, 2004, the Company adopted early thenew accounting standard for impairment of Fixed Assets(“Opinion Concerning Establishment of Accounting Standard forImpairment of Fixed Assets” issued by the Business AccountingDeliberation Council on August 9, 2002) and the implementationguidance for the accounting standard for impairment of fixedassets (the Financial Accounting Standard ImplementationGuidance No. 6 issued by the Accounting Standards Board ofJapan on October 31, 2003).
14
As a result of impairment loss of ¥10,717 millionrecognized as of April 1, 2004 which entails decrease ofdepreciation expense of ¥606 million for the year ended March31, 2005, operating income is increased by ¥606 million andincome before income taxes and minority interests is decreasedby ¥10,111 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. The effecton this change to segment information is mentioned in Note 18.
FINANCE LEASES
Finance leases, except those leases for which the ownership of theleased assets is considered to be transferred to the lessee, areaccounted for in the same manner as operating leases.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line method.The capitalized computer software costs for internal use are
amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated usefullives (five years).
ALLOWANCE FOR BONUSES FOR DIRECTORS
The Company provide allowance for bonuses for directors basedon the estimated amounts of payment.
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2007, theCompany adopted Accounting Standards Board statement No. 4“Accounting Standard for Directors’ Bonus” issued by theAccounting Standards Board of Japan on November 29, 2005.Previously bonuses to directors are subject to approval of theshareholders and are accounted for as an appropriation of retainedearnings for the period in which their payment is made.
As a result, in the year ended March 31, 2007, operatingincome and income before income taxes and minority interestsare decreased by ¥45 million ($381 thousand), respectively. Theeffect on this change to segment information is mentioned inNote 18.

NET ASSETS
The Japanese Corporate Law (“the Law”) became effective onMay 1, 2006, replacing the Japanese Commercial Code (“theCode”). The Law is generally applicable to events andtransactions occurring after April 30, 2006 and for fiscal yearsending after that date.
Under Japanese laws and regulations, the entire amountpaid for new shares is required to be designated as commonstock. However, a company may, by a resolution of the Board ofDirectors, designate an amount not exceeding one-half of theprice of the new shares as additional paid-in capital, which isincluded in capital surplus.
Under the Law, in cases where a dividend distribution ofsurplus is made, the smaller of an amount equal to 10% of thedividend or the excess, if any, of 25% of common stock over thetotal of additional paid-in capital and legal earnings reserve mustbe set aside as additional paid-in capital or legal earningsreserve. Legal earnings reserve is included in retained earningsin the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

dividends and other cash appropriations as legal earnings reserveuntil the total of legal earnings reserve and additional paid-incapital equaled 25% of common stock.
Under the Code, legal earnings reserve and additional paid-in capital could be used to eliminate or reduce a deficit by aresolution of the shareholders’ meeting or could be capitalized bya resolution of the Board of Directors. Under the Law, both ofthese appropriations generally require a resolution of theshareholders’ meeting.
Additional paid-in capital and legal earnings reserve maynot be distributed as dividends. Under the Code, however, oncondition that the total amount of legal earnings reserve andadditional paid-in capital remained equal to or exceeded 25% ofcommon stock, they were available for distribution by resolutionof the shareholders’ meeting. Under the Law, all additional paid-in capital and all legal earnings reserve may be transferred toother capital surplus and retained earnings, respectively, whichare potentially available for dividends.
The maximum amount that the Company can distribute asdividends is calculated based on the non-consolidated financialstatements of the Company in accordance with Japanese laws andregulations.
The appropriations are not accrued in the consolidatedfinancial statements for the corresponding period, but arerecorded in the subsequent accounting period after shareholders’approval has been obtained.
Retained earnings at March 31, 2007 include amountsrepresenting year-end cash dividends of ¥1,228 million ($10,402thousand), ¥7.0 ($0.06) per share, which were approved at theshareholders’ meeting held on June 28, 2007.

ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR PRESENTATION OF NET
ASSETS IN THE BALANCE SHEET
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company andits consolidated subsidiaries adopted the new accountingstandard, “Accounting Standard for Presentation of Net Assets in
the Balance Sheet” (Statement No. 5 issued by the AccountingStandards Board of Japan on December 9, 2005), and theimplementation guidance for the accounting standard forpresentation of net assets in the balance sheet (the FinancialAccounting Standard Implementation Guidance No. 8 issued bythe Accounting Standards Board of Japan on December 9, 2005),(collectively, the “New Accounting Standards”).
Under the New Accounting Standards, the balance sheetcomprises three sections, which are the assets, liabilities and netassets sections. Previously, the balance sheet comprised theassets, liabilities, minority interests, as applicable, and theshareholders’ equity sections.
The net assets section comprises four subsections, whichare shareholders’ equity, accumulated gains (losses) fromvaluation and translation adjustments, subscription rights toshares and minority interests, as applicable.
Under the New Accounting Standards, the following itemsare presented differently compared to the previous presentation.The net assets section includes unrealized gains (losses) onhedging derivatives, net of taxes. Under the previouspresentation rules, companies were required to presentunrealized gains (losses) on hedging derivatives in the assets orliabilities section without considering the related income taxeffects. Minority interests are required to be included in the netassets section under the New Accounting Standards. Under theprevious presentation rules, companies were required to presentminority interests between the non-current liabilities andshareholders’ equity sections.

The adoption of the New Accounting Standards had noimpact on the consolidated statements of income for the yearsended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
ACCOUNTING STANDARD FOR STATEMENT OF
CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company andits consolidated subsidiaries adopted the new accountingstandard, “Accounting Standard for Statement of Changes in NetAssets” (Statement No. 6 issued by the Accounting StandardsBoard of Japan on December 27, 2005), and the implementationguidance for the accounting standard for statement of changes innet assets (the Financial Accounting Standard ImplementationGuidance No. 9 issued by the Accounting Standards Board ofJapan on December 27, 2005), (collectively, the “AdditionalNew Accounting Standards”).
16
Accordingly, the Company prepared the statements ofchanges in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2007 inaccordance with the Additional New Accounting Standards. Also,the Company voluntarily prepared the consolidated statement ofchanges in net assets for 2006 and 2005 in accordance with theAdditional New Accounting Standards. Previously, consolidatedstatements of shareholders’ equity were prepared for the purposeof inclusion in the consolidated financial statements althoughsuch statements were not required under Japanese GAAP.
CHANGE IN THE ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR EXPENSES
INCURRED FOR REAL ESTATE BUSINESS
Salaries and wages and certain expenses incurred for the realestate business had previously been included in “Selling, generaland administrative expenses”. However, effective April 1, 2004,the Company included the portion of salaries and wages andcertain expenses that were matched against revenues in “Cost ofservices” in the consolidated statements of operations in the samemanner as with other operations.
Effective October 1, 2004, the Company changed itsaccounting policy for advertisement costs etc. incurred for thereal estate business from recognizing such costs as incurred torecognizing them when construction of a related condominium iscompleted and ready for sale. The change was made with theintent to better match revenue and the related advertising costsand to present the Company’s operating results moreappropriately. This is because the importance of the effect on theincome statement difference in the timing of recognizingcondominium sales and the related advertising costs etc. hasincreased in light of recent expansion of the Company’s realestate business, increased size of condominium projects andextended construction periods.
As a result, in the year ended March 31, 2005, “Selling,general and administrative expenses” decreased by ¥421 millionand “Cost of services” increased by ¥292 million compared withwhat would have been reported using the previous accountingpolicy. As a result, in the year ended March 31, 2005, gross profitis decreased by ¥292 million, operating income and incomebefore income taxes and minority interests are increased by ¥129million, respectively.
As the estimated amounts of and the expected timing ofincurring advertising costs for large-scale condominium projectsbecame known in the latter half of the year ended March 31,2005, the change in the accounting policy was made effectiveOctober 1, 2004.
As a result, operating income and income before incometaxes and minority interests for the first half of the year endedMarch 31, 2005 were reported ¥14 million less, respectively, thanwhat would have been reported under the new accounting policy.
The effect on this change to segment information ismentioned in Note 18.
