2. Corporate history
The Company was established by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (“NTT”) in January 1986 as a real estate company
that is intended to use the unused land owned by NTT. When the Company was founded, it received land and buildings that NTT
owned as investments in kind (Note). The Company built new office buildings, commercial facilities, and residential facilities on the
land and leased the properties. NTT established real estate companies across the country for the same purpose and by the same
method. The Company has merged with the real estate companies and expanded its assets. The asset size of the Company reached the
current level when it merged with real estate companies in five cities (Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka) in April
1999.
(Note) NTT established the Company in the form of subsequent incorporation (so-called irregular investment in kind): NTT
established the Company through money contribution and then handed over properties that it had planned to contribute at
book values. When founded, the Company took over land and buildings that NTT owned at book values.

Section 2. Business Situation
1. Overview of operating results
(1) Operating results
In the fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy continued to face a challenging situation given the effects of the Great East
Japan Earthquake but showed some signs of a moderate recovery. However, there is a risk of downward pressure being placed on the
economy by declining overseas economies and other factors.
In the office leasing market, the vacancy rate remained high, despite signs of improvement, and market rents continued to be weak.
In the condominium sales market, in spite of the temporary decline of condominium sales after the earthquake, the buying motivation
of consumers continued to rebound, supported by tax benefits and low interest rates.
According to the official announcement of land prices as of January 1, 2012, land prices continued to decline nationwide, albeit more
modestly.
In this environment, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) proceeded steadily with operations, with a target of
achieving sustainable growth while striving to bolster profitability. In international operations, the Company developed operations in
new fields, acquiring a new office building in London, United Kingdom and commencing a residential land sales business in the
suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
As a consequence, operating revenue amounted to ¥136,842 million (down ¥8,851 million, or 6.1% year on year), operating income
was ¥25,365 million (up ¥1,040 million, or 4.3%), and ordinary income was ¥19,229 million (up ¥674 million, or 3.6%). Net income
was ¥15,586 million (up ¥6,278 million, or 67.5%). The introduction of a law relating to a revision to corporate tax rates on
December 2, 2011 raised net income ¥5,945 million.
Operating revenue by business segment in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 is as follows. Operating revenue in each segment in
the text include inter-segment internal revenues and transfers.
1) Leasing Business
In the leasing business, although rent income from pre-existing properties and other income declined, the Company did generate
income, especially rent income from properties completed in the fiscal year ended in March 2011, including Urbannet
Shijo-Karasuma Building (Kyoto-shi, Kyoto), and new properties completed in the fiscal year under review.
As the vacancy rate for office buildings in the market remained high, the vacancy rate for office buildings owned by the Group in
the five wards of central Tokyo was 2.0%, and the rate nationwide was 5.4% at the end of March 2012.
In the new building development business, projects in progress include Umekita (Osaka Station North District) Phase 1
Development Area Project [Grand Front Osaka] (Osaka-shi, Osaka), Otemachi 1-Chome No. 2 Urban Area Redevelopment
Project Type 1 Building A [Otemachi Financial City North Tower] (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), Urbannet Kanda Building (Chiyoda-ku,
Tokyo), and Upper-Level Section Redevelopment Project associated with the reconstruction of the Shibaura Water Reclamation
Center (Minato-ku, Tokyo).
In the fiscal year under review, an office building Urbannet Uchihonmachi Building (Osaka-shi, Osaka), a commercial and office
building Urbannet Tenjin Building (Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka), UD Nakasu Building (Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka) operated by a hotel
operator, and other properties were completed.
As a result of these activities, the leasing business recorded operating revenue of ¥91,069 million (down ¥1,538 million, or 1.7%
year on year), operating expenses of ¥63,586 million (up ¥205 million, or 0.3%), and operating income of ¥27,482 million (down
¥1,743 million, or 6.0%).
2) Residential Property Sales Business
In the residential property sales business, the Company focused on the sale of condominiums, aiming to create high-quality
residences that complete residents’ lives and maintain asset values.
A total of 458 condominiums were delivered, including WELLITH Tokiwadai (Itabashi-ku, Tokyo) and WELLITH Kyoto
Shugakuin (Kyoto-shi, Kyoto). In the fiscal year under review, new sales of condominiums such as WELLITH Omiya
(Saitama-shi, Saitama) and WELLITH Sakurayama (Nagoya-shi, Aichi) commenced. With respect to building lot and detached
house sales, WELLITH Park Minami-Nagasaki (Nagasaki-shi, Nagasaki) and other properties were delivered.
-
10
As a result, the Company posted operating revenue of ¥28,484 million (down ¥13,240 million, or 31.7% year on year), reflecting a
decline in the number of condominiums delivered and other factors, operating expenses of ¥27,109 million (down ¥14,082 million,
or 34.2%), and operating income of ¥1,374 million (up ¥841 million, or 158.0%).
3) Other
Operating revenue in other business in the fiscal year under review were ¥23,223 million (up ¥6,840 million, or 41.8% year on
year), primarily reflecting the posting of sales from Otemachi 1-Chome No. 2 Urban Area Redevelopment Project Type 1
Building A [Otemachi Financial City North Tower], to which the percentage of completion method is applied. Operating expenses
stood at ¥20,132 million (up ¥4,962 million, or 32.7%), and operating income was ¥3,090 million (up ¥1,877 million, or 154.9%).
(2) Consolidated cash flows
Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter “cash”) at the end of March 2012 decreased ¥7,054 million from the end of March 2011, to
¥10,960 million. Free cash flows at the end of March 2012 were down ¥31,488 million from the end of March 2011, to ¥19,329
million minus.
(Note) The calculating formula of the free cash flow is as follows:
Free cash flow = Cash flow from operating activities + Cash flow from investing activities
The following is the situation and factors for each category of cash flow for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
(Net cash provided by operating activities)
Cash provided by operating activities was ¥3,704 million, with inflow decreasing ¥36,713 million year on year. This is primarily
attributable to an increase in cash due to income before income taxes and minority interests of ¥16,425 million and depreciation and
amortization of ¥24,765 million and a decrease in cash mainly due to an increase in inventories of ¥14,306 million and notes and
operating accounts receivable of ¥9,032 million.
(Net cash used in investing activities)
Cash used in investing activities was ¥23,033 million, with inflow increasing ¥5,224 million year on year, This is primarily
attributable to a decrease in cash due to purchase of property, plant and equipment of ¥24,305 million and an increase in cash mainly
due to proceeds from repayment of investment securities of ¥1,052 million.
(Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities)
Cash provided by financing activities was ¥12,650 million, with inflow increasing ¥27,292 million year on year. Major factors
included an increase in cash due to proceeds from long-term loans payable of ¥72,000 million and proceeds from issuance of bonds
of ¥14,993 million and a decrease in cash mainly due to repayments of long-term loans payable of ¥67,360 million and cash
dividends paid of ¥3,949 million.

business.
The nationwide NOI for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was ¥54,318 million (down ¥2,404 million, or 4.2% year on year). In
central Tokyo, Tokyo (excluding central Tokyo) and in the urban areas surrounding Tokyo, NOI declined to ¥34,061 million (down
¥1,533 million, or 4.3%) mainly attributable to a decrease in mainly sales from the existing buildings. NOI also fell in regional urban
areas to ¥20,257 million (down ¥871 million, or 4.1%) with a decline mainly in sales from the existing buildings more than offset
positive effects due to the completion including Urbannet Uchihonmachi Building (Osaka-shi, Osaka) and Urbannet Tenjin Building
(Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka).

3. Challenges to address
(1) Basic management policy
Since it was established in January 1986, the NTT Urban Development Group, the core company in the real estate development
business of the NTT Group, has focused on urban development in cities in Japan, especially in the Otemachi area of Tokyo. This
focus has enabled consistent growth. The ultimate goal of the Group is to continue to create relaxing environments that effectively
balance people, living spaces, and the environment, under its corporate slogan, “We create harmony.” In other words, we believe that
we can create environments that offer comfortable living over the long term, through a harmony among creative people, stimulating,
energizing living environments, and comfortable, fulfilling lifestyles. We also believe that we can achieve harmony by combining the
high-quality structures and advanced technologies of the Group, and through our unshakeable commitment to functionality,
convenience, and safety as the key components of comfortable living. Consistently offering comfortable living environments creates
customer trust and, as a result, improves our corporate value.
(2) Medium- to long-term management strategies, financial targets, and challenges to address
The economy is continuing to face a challenging situation in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake but is expected to continue
to recover moderately thanks to the effects of a range of policies. However, there is a risk of downward pressure being placed on the
economy by declines in overseas economies and other factors. The outlook for the real estate market is uncertain given the
continuation of challenging circumstances, including high vacancy rates in office buildings and continuing decline in rents.
The Group is taking steps to restructure its business base and pursue growth in consideration of financial soundness as described
below, with the aim of nurturing buds for future growth, while securing stable profits even in this difficult operating environment,
operating under the NTT Urban Development Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2012 formulated in May 2010.
i) Restructuring the business base
In the leasing business, the Group is striving to fill vacancies in its existing buildings and to accelerate the leasing of new
buildings by further strengthening the sales system, as the supply of new office buildings is expected to increase in the Tokyo
metropolitan area in 2012. Meanwhile, the Group continues to promote development projects in central Tokyo and in the major
urban centers of Kansai and Kyushu. We will improve the profitability of existing properties and promote investments using our
development expertise to build a strong revenue base in the difficult real estate market.
In the residential property sales business, overall market, in spite of the temporary decline of condominium sales after the
earthquake, the market is recovering gradually as the number of condominium sales remained unchanged from the previous year.
However, it has not yet to recover across all regions and price ranges. Given this operating environment, the Company is working
to establish the WELLITH brand by providing quality housings that help maintain a high asset value permanently and it is
enhancing profitability by promoting carefully selected site acquisition for condominiums and others mainly in large urban areas
such as Tokyo and Osaka, with the aim of generating stable profits.
In response to rising awareness of disaster-proof offices and housing reflecting the Great East Japan Earthquake, we will make
efforts to provide more secure and safer high quality properties.
ii) Pursuing growth in consideration of financial soundness
The Group acquired an office building in London, United Kingdom, 1 King William Street, through the Company’s U.K.
subsidiary in June 2011. The Company also established an Australian subsidiary and commenced a residential land sales business
in the suburbs of Melbourne in Australia in September 2011. In the Tenjin area in Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka, the Group opened in
September 2011 the RESOLA Tenjin commercial facilities on the intermediate and lower floors of Urbannet Tenjin Building,
which the Group has developed after leasing the site owned by the NTT Group for a fixed term. We will continue to apply the
expertise developed in our core businesses to new fields such as the development and sale of the property business, real estate
fund business, commercial business, international business, and the solutions business.
We also aim to practice shareholder-oriented management, enhance corporate governance, promote corporate social responsibility
(CSR), and bolster our management resources to establish a business foundation that supports growth.

* Forward-looking statements included in this section are judgments by the Group at the end of fiscal year under review. Actual
results may be different depending of changes in the business environment and other factors.
(3) Basic policy on the control of the Stock Company
Since the parent company holds more than 50% of the voting rights, the Company has not established any basic policy relating to the
Stock Company and has not introduced any takeover defense.
4. Operating risks
The following principal categories of business risks and other risks affecting the NTT Urban Development Group’s businesses may
have a material impact on investment decisions. Although the risks below are those currently recognized by the NTT Urban
Development Group, it is not necessarily an exhaustive list of risks. These risk categories are presented in the interests of information
disclosure to investors and should be given due importance in investment decisions or when construing the Company’s business
activities. The Group manages the operating risks under its risk management regulations. The forward-looking statements included in
the following reflect judgments by the Group as of the date of submission of this document.
Risks concerning the businesses of the Group
(1) General risk
i) Leasing Business risk
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the leasing business accounted for 63.8% of consolidated operating revenue. The leasing
business tends to be susceptible to changes in the operating environment, and the Company is considering action against falls in
rents and an increase in vacancies, assuming business trends over the medium and long terms. However, a worsening
supply-demand situation in the real estate market could cause vacancies to increase and the leasing rate to decline, which could
substantially affect the operating performance of the NTT Urban Development Group. Moreover, changes in the financial status
of the Group’s major tenants, the departure of a major tenant, or changes in the conditions of property use could have repercussion
for the overall occupancy rate of Group properties and consequently could significantly affect business real estate revenues.
ii) Residential Property Sales Business risk
The deterioration of the condominium market because of intensifying competition among sellers, rising interest rates for housing
loans, and a downturn in consumer sentiment caused by elevating sales prices accompanying soaring land prices could cause
decreases in sales in relation to a prolonged selling process in the residential property sales business and increases in inventories,
which could affect the Group’s business performance. The process of work could be delayed given the shortage of construction
materials, equipment, and other materials due to the effect of large-scale disasters.
iii) Asset devaluation risk
In fiscal 2005, the Company adopted impairment loss accounting for business real estate based on the “Opinion Regarding
Accounting Standard for Impairment of Fixed Assets” issued by the Corporate Accounting Standards Committee on August 9,
2002. In fiscal 2008, the Company applied the “Accounting Standards for Measurement of Inventories” (ASBJ Statement No. 9
on July 5, 2006). A substantial deterioration of the real estate market could necessitate the recording of impairment losses of the
properties for the leasing business and the revaluation of the inventory assets maintained for the residential property sales business,
and this in turn could impact the Group’s business performance.
The Group holds investment securities and other non-current assets and depreciation in the value of these assets from changes in
economic conditions could produce a revaluation loss that might impact the Group’s business performance.
-
16
iv) Effects of interest-bearing debt
As of March 31, 2012, consolidated interest-bearing debt totaled ¥505,805 million, all of which was procured at fixed rates of
interest. A significant rise in the market interest rates could, therefore, affect the business development of the Group.
In addition, the Group’s capital procurement activities could be hampered by instability in capital markets, credit limits extended
by financial institutions, business failures (including payoffs) of such institutions, or downgrades in the Company’s debt ratings
and other factors.
Item Previous consolidated fiscal year Current consolidated fiscal year
Total assets (Million yen) 910,492 928,537
Interest-bearing debt (Million yen) 487,780 505,805
Interest-bearing debt / Total assets (%) 53.6 54.5
Operating revenue (Million yen) 145,693 136,842
Interest expense (Million yen) 7,928 7,938
Interest expense / Operating revenue (%) 5.4 5.8
v) Risks in cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities are subject to fluctuations associated with purchases of land in the residential
property sales business.
In the year ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥3,704 million, a fall of ¥36,713 million from the
previous fiscal year. The increase in inventory assets and other factors create the potential for an outflow of cash flows from
operating activities.
vi) Risks concerning establishment of and revisions to real estate-related and other laws and regulations
The Group is subject to laws and regulations related to real estate, and revisions to these laws and the establishment of new laws
could impact the Group’s business performance.
vii) Risks concerning selection and credit of business partner
The Company makes every effort to verify the credit standing of its business partners before entering into business relations.
However, if unforeseen events lower a business partner’s credit and the Company is unable to collect debts owed to the Company,
an economic loss could result that could impact the Group’s business performance.
Depending on the selection of contractors for construction work, scandals, trouble, and financial difficulties, among other factors,
in contractors performing their operations could cause economic losses for the Group or the erosion of the Group’s credibility,
which in turn could affect the Group’s performance. To prevent and avoid the risks, the Company has set up an internal commit tee
to choose contractors that investigates the creditworthiness of contractors and their ability to complete construction and has
established termination criteria should contractors fail to meet standard quality or delivery periods or cause incidents or accidents.
(2) Business risk
i) Risks concerning development project investment decisions
The Company invests in quality properties for future development with the objective of further raising corporate value. Every
effort is made to ensure the decisions to invest in new development projects which do not produce an economic loss or
compromise society’s trust in the Company. Relevant laws, rights, site conditions, market studies, and other subjects are
thoroughly researched and verified. Construction plans and business revenue and expenditure plans are drawn up, and internal
meetings are held to determine business viability. The final decisions to invest are made by the Board of Directors and other
relevant groups. Despite careful preparation and consideration, fluctuations in demand arising from changes in the business
climate or in the real estate market can reduce the profitability of investments and could impact the Group’s business performance.
-
17
ii) Risks concerning sales transaction and construction contracts
Inadequate contract documents, flawed contract stipulations, or other deficiencies in sales transaction and construction contracts
could produce an economic loss or liability for damages, or compromise society’s trust in the Company in a way that could impact
the Company’s business performance. The Group seeks to prevent and avoid risks by checking contracts in advance, using
contract check sheets.
iii) Risks concerning damage to and deterioration of buildings in building management operations
The Group regularly inspects and maintains the buildings that it holds for leasing. However, damage to or deterioration in the
buildings, or accidents resulting from the deterioration or failures of the buildings could lead to increases in the financial burden in
association with complaints about damage to or the deterioration of the buildings and accidents caused by them, liability for
damage, the erosion of society’s trust in the Group, renovations, and rebuilding and could impact the Group’s business
performance.
iv) Risks concerning the handling of large-scale disasters in building management operations
Risks including major earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters, or fires, accidents, or terrorist attacks could cause damage to,
the loss of, or the deterioration of buildings the Group holds for leasing, which in turn could affect the Group’s business
performance. The Group has developed a business continuity plan (BCP) designed to protect against the spread of damage from
possible large-scale disasters such as the above and to minimize any economic loss from them, identifying types of disasters and
considering the effects of the disasters on tenants and the management of buildings, emergency communication systems, and
emergency action in accordance with each type of disaster.
Relationships with NTT and its group companies
(1) Position of NTT Urban Development in NTT-centered corporate group (NTT Group)
NTT Urban Development is the only comprehensive real estate company in the NTT Group and manages its businesses
independently, taking responsibility for the management. The Company consults the parent company NTT about important issues
and reports to NTT. However, NTT does not prevent the Company from making its own decisions or does not bind the Company’s
decision making.
NTT owns 67.3% of the stock of the Company as of March 31, 2012 and holds rights as the majority shareholder of the Company
under the Companies Act.
(2) Business relations with NTT Group
The Company and NTT have concluded an agreement relating to the management of the NTT Group to respect each other’s
independence and autonomy and to maximize the profits of each NTT Group company by maximizing the profits of the overall NTT
Group. Based on this agreement, the Company pays the Group operating and managing expenses. In exchange for this payment, NTT
provides the Company with comprehensive services and benefits, including advice on a range of issues, the use of the NTT brand,
and Group publicity. In particular, we believe using the NTT brand as a member of the NTT Group enhances the creditworthiness
and reliability of the Company and gives the Company advantages in the execution of operations.
The Company has concluded a building lease agreement with the NTT Group and receives rent income from the Group. The
Company determines rental prices for the NTT Group through mutual consultation, based on essentially the same conditions as those
for general customers, considering market prices and prices for neighboring properties. The Company acquires land, primarily land
for the property sales business, from the NTT Group. Both parties determine acquisition prices through consultation, taking
profitability into consideration, as in the acquisition of land from the general market.
The table below shows the status of transactions between the Company and the NTT Group in the Leasing Business.

(3) Personnel relationships with NTT Group
The Company accepts employees from other NTT Group companies not as employees on loan but as employees who have been
transferred. The Company had an outside director and an outside Corporate Auditor from NTT as of the date of submission of this
document. They have taken up their appointments at the request of the Company, and the Company makes management judgments
independently.

7. Analysis of financial position, operating results and cash flows
Forward-looking statements included in this section are judgments by the Group at the end of the fiscal year under review.
(1) Significant accounting policies and estimates
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared under the generally accepted accounting principles in Japan.
Estimates that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities at the closing date and the reported values of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are primarily net sale values and corporate
taxes relating to the valuation of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful receivables, accrued employees’ retirement benefits, a
recoverable amount relating to the impairment of fixed asset groups, and inventories. The operating revenue values and corporate
taxes are continuously valuated reasonably.
Estimates, judgments, and valuations are made based on factors considered to be reasonable in accordance with past results and
current situations. However, actual results may be different because of uncertainty inherent in estimates.

(3) Analysis of operating results
i) Operating revenue
Operating revenue in the fiscal year under review amounted to ¥136,842 million (down ¥8,851 million, or 6.1% year on year),
primarily reflecting a fall in rent income from existing properties in the leasing business and a decline in the number of
condominiums delivered in the residential property sales business.
ii) Operating gross profit
Operating cost stood at ¥96,433 million (down ¥8,008 million, or 7.7%), attributable primarily to a fall in the number of
condominiums delivered in the residential property sales business, offsetting an increase in operating cost related to Otemachi
1–Chome No. 2 Urban Area Redevelopment Project Type 1 Building A (Otemachi Financial City North Tower) to which the
percentage of completion method is applied in other business.
As a result, operating gross profit was ¥40,409 million (down ¥842 million, or 2.0%).
iii) Operating income
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were ¥15,043 million (down ¥1,883 million, or 11.1%), primarily as a result of a fall
in selling expenses due to a decline in the number of condominiums delivered.
As a consequence, operating income was ¥25,365 million (up ¥1,040 million, or 4.3%).
iv) Ordinary income
Ordinary income was ¥19,229 million (up ¥674 million, or 3.6%), mainly reflecting an increase in operating income of ¥1,040
million.
v) Income before income taxes and minority interests
Extraordinary income was ¥60 million (down ¥160 million, or 72.8%), attributable primarily to the posting of a gain on the sale of
non-current assets of ¥212 million in the previous fiscal year.
Extraordinary losses were ¥2,863 million (up ¥211 million, or 8.0%), mainly as a result of an increase of ¥1,266 million in loss on
retirement of non-current assets in the fiscal year under review, despite the posting of a ¥1,001 million loss on adjustment for
changes of accounting standard for asset retirement obligations in the previous fiscal year.
Consequently, income before income taxes and minority interests amounted to ¥16,425 million (up ¥302 million, or 1.9%).
-
21
vi) Net income
Net income was ¥15,586 million (up ¥6,278 million, or 67.5%) attributable mainly to an increase of ¥5,945 million in net income
because of the effect of the introduction of a law relating to a revision to corporate tax rates on December 2, 2011.

(5) Current status of and outlook for business strategy
The Group will step up its efforts to achieve the objectives included in NTT Urban Development Group Medium-Term Management
Plan 2012 (developed in May 2010): 1) Restructuring the business base, and 2) Pursuing growth in consideration of financial
soundness.
The following is the specific action for each business segment in the fiscal year ending March 2013.
i) Leasing Business
The outlook for the rental office market is uncertain, given high vacancy ratios in office buildings, although there are signs of
improvement, and continued low rents.
As supply of new office buildings is expected to expand in the Tokyo metropolitan area in 2012, the Company will seek to bolster
its sales force by enhancing its leasing system and stepping up activities for improving relations with tenants. Meanwhile, the
Company will develop initiatives for enhancing asset management for improving the value of the assets that it owns and for
increasing customer satisfaction.
The Company aims to consistently expand operations by developing assets steadily that it has already acquired, using its
development expertise.
ii) Residential Property Sales Business
The condominium sales market is recovering gradually thanks to the effect of economic policies but has yet to recover across all
regions and price ranges.
The Company will continue aiming to improve profitability and to achieve early paybacks, while striving to establish the
WELLITH brand as the preferred choice of customers by providing superior housing.
iii) Other
The Group will seek to expand businesses, particularly the operations of consolidated subsidiaries, including the remodeling of
offices at the request of tenants in relation to the leasing business.
(6) Analysis of financial resources and liquidity of funds
During the fiscal year under review, the Company raised funds primarily through borrowings from financial institutions and the
issuing of bonds, among other sources, in response to such as capital needs as capital expenditures, investments, and the acquisition
of inventory assets.
For the analysis of financial resources and the liquidity of funds, refer to 1. Overview of operating results, (2) Consolidated cash
flows and 7. Analysis of financial position, operating results and cash flows, (2) Analysis of financial position.
