To Our Shareholders
We look forward to your ongoing supportIn our quest to match the needs of landowners and tenants, we at Daito developed our unique Lease Management Trust System, through which we assume responsibility for lease property management on behalf of landowners. Under the system, we undertake lease property management as thirty-year whole-building lease, from initial proposals to building design and construction, tenant recruiting and property management-while taking on all the risks involved in the process. The Daito has earned high praise from customers and holds the top position in the industry, with order received apartments has reached over100,000 residential units and also approximately 550,000 residential units under management (as of March 31, 2009).
Going forward, we will target more efficient deployment of assets entrusted to us by landowners, while upgrading our products and services to satisfy the needs of tenants. In these ways, we will continue seeking to be the “company of choice” among both landowners and tenants.
We look forward to your ongoing support.
Operating environment and operating results in the fiscal year ended March 2009 In the fiscal year ended March 2009, the worldwide credit shrinkage in financial markets that originated in the United States began to affect the real economy in Japan. Among the consequences were a falling stockmarket and a rising yen, pressure on capital investment due to large reductions in corporate earnings, and adjustments in the employment market, all of which contributed to a strengthening of the recessionary developments in the Japanese economy.
The rental housing market which is the Daito Group’s business field was temporarily weakened by influences such as the changed attitude of financial institutions to providing loans and reduced interest in rental property investment among landowners. However, the reasons motivating landowners to utilize their land assets, whether to alleviate an inheritance tax burden, serve as a source of pension income, or satisfy some other need, are resistant to the influence of the particular economic climate, so that underlying demand stayed firm, while the demand among tenants for high-quality rental housing also remains unchanged.
Under these conditions, Daito posted net sales of ¥954,881 million, a 49.0% increase from the previous fiscal year, operating income of ¥70,389 million, a 6.2% increase, ordinary income of ¥73,976 million, up 6.3%, and net income of ¥42,129 million, a 5.3% decrease. Daito thus achieved an increase in both sales and (operating and ordinary) income. Ordinary income, in particular, reached a record level.

Other business
1. ConstructionIn our core construction business, sales grew by 6.7% year-on-year to ¥469,603 million on the strength of a healthy level of orders received in the first half-year and a substantial outstanding order balance. The gross profit margin for completed projects declined 0.3 percentage points from the previous fiscal year to 32.0%. Daito nevertheless managed to substantially exceed the original target of 30.9% thanks to measures to limit cost inflation in the first-half year, a fall in material costs in the second half-year, and other cost reduction efforts.
2. Real estateIn the real estate business, an increase in whole-building lease agreements under our Lease Management Trust System allowed our leasing company, Daito Building Management Co., Ltd., to increase its rental income. This was one of the main factors in the growth in real estate business net sales, which increased by 171.3% year-on-year to ¥464,779 million.
3. Other businessOther business revenue amounted to ¥20,497 million, a 31.1% decline from the previous f iscal year. The main reason for the decrease in other business revenue was that the rental income guarantee business operated by Daito Kyosaikai Co., Ltd., which provides guaranteed rental income even during vacant periods, was subsumed in February 2008 into the whole-building lease business operated by Daito Building Management Co., Ltd. The rental income guarantee business was thus transferred from the other operations category to become part of the whole-building lease operations of the real estate business. Meanwhile, the nationwide LP gas supply company Gaspal Co., Ltd., added sales thanks to a growth in the number of households supplied, while Care Partner Co., Ltd., which provides daytime care to the elderly, benefited from sales growth due to an increase in the number of facilities operated.
06 Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd.
What was the effect on Daito’s business of the downturn in theJapanese economy since September 2008?
Q1. Orders receivedFollowing the sharp downturn in the economy from October 2008, delayed adjustment to changed attitude by financial institutions to the loan for apartments. Reduce interest in rental property investments (use of land) among landowners, and other factors led to a 12.3% year-on-year reduction in orders received to ¥437,157 million.
On the other hand, customers with whom we have existing relationships understand the need to utilize land assets, so that repeat business commissions and recommendations from these customers remained stable regardless of the economic downturn.
*When landowners undertake a property rental project, it is usual for the construction of the rental property to be funded with a loan from a financial institution.
2. Occupancy rateRegarding the occupancy rate of residential rental properties, although there was no major change in tenant demand for rental housing, one effect of the sharp economic downturn was a reduction in corporate demand, which led to a worsening trend in occupancy rates in some regions. As a result, while the number of tenants placed did show a 7.8% year-on-year rise to 171,846, the occupancy rate for residential units registered a 0.8 percentage point decline from the previous fiscal year to 95.6%.

Daito's Share
― Our target is to capture a 15% share of lease housing starts and achieve orders received worth ¥600,000 million by the fiscal year ending March 2013.― The tax burden imposed by land ownership and land inheritance continues to be heavy and the underlying demand for effective use of land assets remains correspondingly firm. Moreover, the total number of households in Japan is set to continue rising until around 2015, decreasing gradually thereafter. Some 30 to 40% of all households occupy rental housing, and as this figure has remained constant in the past regardless of the particular economic climate, demand for rental housing is expected to remain stable in the future. In addition to the increase in the number of households, the progressive aging and deterioration of the older rental housing stock leads to the expectation that the supply of new rental housing will show firm development in the future.
Within this scenario, the Daito Group will be focused on expanding its share of the rental housing market. Our medium- to long-term business target is to capture a 15% share of lease housing starts by 2013, up from 11.6% in the fiscal year ended March 2009. Through the Daito Group’s unique Lease Management Trust System, whereby we undertake to look after all aspects of rental housing management for the customer, we will continue to work for the effective utilization of the assets(rental properties)entrusted to us by landowners, offering customers a valuable asset management service. Amid intensifying competition in the rental market, we will also be actively implementing a range of initiatives to ensure that Daito is the company of choice for tenants as well as landlords. These will include offering products tailored to local markets and providing services sensitive to tenant needs.

*Where the conditions in 2.below are met.
1. Dividend policyDaito’s dividend policy has consistently reflected the recognition of shareholder return as an important issue. Our basic commitment is to provide a stable dividend by ensuring a strong business base; specifically we have set a target payout ratio of 50%, to consist of a standard dividend of ¥20 and a profit return component reflecting overall consolidated business performance.
Before change (until March 2009) Target payout ratio of 30% to consist of a standard dividend of ¥20 and a profit return component reflecting the combined business performance of Daito and its consolidated subsidiary Daito Building Management Co., Ltd.
2.Purchase and retirement of treasury stockThe policy will be changed to specify ongoing purchase and retirement of treasury stock in the interest of increasing shareholder value when certain conditions are met, including consolidated net income exceeding ¥10,000 million and the absence of large-scale funding requirements. Additionally, the upper limit for purchase of treasury stock is to be set at a target figure of 30% of consolidated net income.
Before change (until March 2009)Where certain conditions are met, including non-consolidated net income exceeding ¥10,000 million and absence of large-scale funding requirements, Daito applies a policy of ongoing purchase and retirement of treasury stock in the interest of increasing shareholder value. The upper limit for purchase of treasury stock is to be set at a target f igure of 50% of non-consolidated net income.

Personal visits to unlock potential demand among landownersDaito’s sales force of more than 3,000 associates builds uniquely close relationships with landowners throughout Japan by establishing direct personal contact. Through these visits, we present the landowner with a tailor-made business plan covering taxation, finance, construction, and other aspects of the project in a way that takes full account of the topography, the surrounding environment, and the landowner’s individual circumstances. This direct sales system is Daito’s key to unlocking potential demand among landowners.
Stable level of orders thanks to high proportion of special orders and repeat orders Sales activities based on the direct approach make it possible to identify potential customers and build customer networks. The result is that the majority of the orders we receive arise from a direct approach, not subject to competition.
Daito also receives around 40% of its orders each year through repeat business. This demonstrates customers’ satisfaction and understanding to our business.

Ensuring high-quality construction through highly skilled engineering teams and an independently developed project management systemLong-term stability in the rental housing business demands that high quality is achieved in construction. At Daito, highly skilled and highly qualif ied engineers exercise seamless quality control through our independently developed DK Network.
The DK Network is a project management network that links construction sites with the construction management unit to ensure construction accuracy and a uniformly high level of quality. At each stage of the project, the system allows us to carry out our own detailed inspections in addition to the regulation inspections.
Inspection data and visual images covering all stages from the start of construction through to completion are incorporated in a construction report that is presented to the owner, ensuring that the high quality of construction is transparently documented. After handing over the completed building, the unique quality assurance standards of our after-sales service continue to provide the customer with comprehensive support.

Risk Responsiveness
Daito not only provides support in rental housing management, but also covers owners for every conceivable risk arising from market fluctuationsDaito’s Lease Management Trust System covers landowners against risks of all kinds arising from market fluctuations. First, as a means of ensuring stable rental income, we pay a predetermined monthly rental to the owner, even in times of vacancy or default of payment. Thanks to the tenant recruitment capabilities of our staff, we have achieved a high occupancy rate.
Next, even if there are fluctuations in market rates, our rents stay fixed for a ten-year period, the longest in the industry. Rent revisions are then made every five years. This offers stability to owners and protects them from fluctuations in the market in the surrounding area.
Moreover, Daito bears the cost of restoring a property to its original state when a tenant moves out and the cost of maintaining and repairing buildings that have deteriorated over time—both costs traditionally borne by owners.
These services are made possible by pursuing long-term efficiencies in our lease business, including exhaustive market research and the development and adoption of low-maintenance materials and f ittings. They are also the result of Daito’s wealth of knowledge accumulated through its management of 550,000 residential units nationwide.

Our specialist staff review the complicated and laborious procedures involved in rental housing managementTo offer landowners in the rental housing business an improved quality of service in property management, our wholly-owned subsidiary specializing in proper ty management, Daito Building Management Co., Ltd., provides a comprehensive agency service covering all aspects of the complicated and laborious procedures involved in rental housing management, from rent collection to building maintenance and tenant negotiations.
Regardless of whether rent has been collected from tenants, at the end of every month, Daito pays the next month’s rent to the landowner. Meanwhile, dedicated staff collect rent directly from late-paying tenants, ensuring reliable rent payment to landowners and reliable rent collection.
Moreover, to ensure the peace of mind of both landowners and tenants, landowners receive a Building Report once every two months allowing them to check up on the state of their property, while tenants with problems or inquiries have access 24 hours a day, including public holidays, to the services of the Daito Customer Center.
Targeting operational efficiency in the rental housing business with planned repairs and independent development of high-durability materials and low-maintenance materials and fittings We take advantage of economies of scale in the execution of planned building refurbishments and in our independent development and deployment of a series of high-durability materials and low-maintenance materials and fittings to reduce overall business costs and increase the eff iciency of rental housing operations.

Tenant recruitment through a network of dedicated staff and local real estate companies placing tenants in Daito propertiesMost other companies in the industry outsource the tenant recruitment function to outside real estate companies. However, this produces a tendency for real estate agents to prioritize properties that are easy to rent, sometimes preventing owners from receiving a stable tenant recruitment service.
In the rental housing business, the tenant recruitment process is vital to maintaining a stable rental income. Daito employs specialist teams of in-house staff (1,038 as of March 31, 2009) to carry out tenant recruitment and this stable supply of tenants covers almost 60% of the properties managed by Daito and the subsidiary Housecom. This is complemented by a network of around 40,000 affiliated real estate agents, giving Daito strong capabilities in tenant recruitment.

Tenant recruitment activities through a wide range of channelsDaito carries on tenant recruitment activities through the 479 branch off ices of the Daito Group nationwide (Daito Trust Construction 360 branches, Housecom 119 branches).
Using the Internet to find rental units is also becoming more popular year by year. Daito has responded by enhancing our e-Heya Net rental unit search website, renewing television commercials, issuing rental unit listings, and engaging in other activities to boost the number of website visitors.
We also make use of the property listing magazine Ju-SEE and a wide range of other channels in our tenant recruitment activities.
Rolling out a range of tenant services to expand our tenant customer base To attract tenant demand from all sectors, Daito is targeting tenancy agreements with people of middle age and older as well as overseas nationals and others who may have difficulty providing a guarantor. To do this, Daito offers a tenancy agreement option with no requirement for a guarantor as well as one that lightens the initial financial burden on the tenant by not requiring the payment of deposit money.
Meanwhile, to respond to the increasingly diverse needs of tenants, we provide pet-owners with properties to live in worry-free comfort with their pets.

1. Firm underlying demand among landowners for land asset utilization (rental housing construction)
Landowners in Japan continue to face diff icult choices. Continuing with farming operations offers poor returns, but the aging of the population means a shortage of younger farmers to hand over to. In the meantime they are confronted with a mounting burden of property and inheritance taxes, which is particularly heavy in areas on the outskirts of cities.
Rental housing has attracted interest as a solution to these difficulties and underlying demand from landowners remains correspondingly firm.
2. Many unused agricultural sites and other lots available nationwide for rental housing construction
Daito holds information on more than 4 million lots suitable for the construction of rental housing (area of at least 100m2) and is engaged in related sales activities in urbanization areas.
3.Construction demand expanding as 1/3 of rental housing becomes superannuated
In Japan, existing houses are demolished and rebuilt when they deteriorate, creating a rebuilding cycle of 30 to 35 years. Given that rental housing built in 1980 or before represents around 36% of the total, potential demand from rebuilding of properties can be expected to continue growing.

1. Number of households to continue increasing until 2015 with no major decrease thereafter
The number of households is forecasted to continue rising until 2015 due to the spread of the nuclear family, the tendency to marry at a later age, and other factors. It is furthermore predicted that there will be no substantial fall in numbers in subsequent years.
As historic data suggest that the proportion of households living in rental housing will remain constant, with little effect from fluctuations in the economic climate and land prices, underlying demand for rental housing can be expected to remain firm.
2. Loss and shakeout of superannuated rental housing creates corresponding demand for supply of new high-quality housing
Japan is said to have a housing rebuilding cycle of 30-35 years. It is estimated that rental housing units, which are currently occupied by 17,167,000 households, will shrink in number to 4,750,000 units by 2030 due to aging of the housing stock and other causes.
In 2030, the number of households occupying rental housing is projected to be 17,584,000, so that 12,835,000 rental housing units will need to be supplied by then.
3. Rental housing demand forecast to continue running at 400,000-450,000 units/yearThe number of rental housing starts in Japan, even given the effect of the economic climate, legislative amendments, and other factors, remains at 400,000-450,000 a year.
Going forward, rental housing demand is expected to run at 400,000 to 450,000 units a year. This projection is based on an increase in the number of households living in rental housing, an increase in company housing for single people and other short-term housing needs, loss of existing housing stock, and an increase in the number of housing units that are 30 years old or above and therefore tend to have a high rate of vacancy.

As a medium-term target, until the year 2010, Daito has set itself the goal of achieving a 7% reduction compared to the fiscal year ended March 2005 in the emission of the greenhouse gases by offices and newly-built rental properties (including distribution operations). To meet this target, we have introduced Eco Challenge “D,” a format for environmental action unique to Daito. Based on the environmental management approach that lays down a common set of company-wide assessment criteria, it will allow us to implement effective environmental management going forward.

Daito Corporate Service currently employs 51 staff. These employees are engaged in miscellaneous clerical work previously handled by outsourcing companies and temporary staff, centering on the parent company’s head office. Daito attaches great importance to harmony among individuals, society, and corporations. Our quest is to provide workplace environments that enable individuals to overcome their disabilities and be independent, and thus work with a sense of responsibility and independence. In the process, we hope to be a company that helps people enjoy their work and achieve their dreams. In 2008, Daito Corporate Service won the highest award in a program operated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to recognize companies setting a good example in improving employment opportunities and workplace environments for people with disabilities. Moreover, Daito Corporate Service was designated as the operator of a general employment support facility in a project operated by the municipality of Urayasu in Chiba Prefecture aimed at recruiting facilities to support the employment of people with disabilities. The operation of the facility is due to begin in October 2011.

Information DisclosureDaito regards the disclosure of information as one of its most important corporate responsibilities. By complying with relevant laws and regulations, we endeavor to disclose new information promptly, whether it is positive or negative. To ensure management transparency and objectivity, we are committed to appropriate and timely disclosure of information through a full range of channels. These include news releases, f inancial results briefing sessions, and publication on the investor relations website of various materials, such as monthly performance data, a range of financial results data from the quarterly and annual accounts, and the annual securities report. As the proportion of Daito stock held by overseas investors is high, we also engage in overseas investor relations activity and take other action to encourage the use of voting rights; for instance, we provide the invitation to the annual shareholders’ meeting and the information on the voting resolutions in English.
Corporate Governance and ComplianceDaito’s corporate governance policy focuses on maximizing corporate value and enhancing management eff iciency and transparency for all its shareholders. To this end, our major tasks are to assure strict adherence to corporate ethics and legal regulations, establish and strengthen internal control systems, and ensure objectivity and timely decision-making by management.

Board of DirectorsThe Board of Directors consists of eleven directors, including one outside director. Every month, the Board meets to make decisions on matters stipulated in laws and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as well as important matters affecting the Company and its affiliates. The outside director has no business interests in the Company.
Board of Corporate AuditorsDaito has adopted an auditor system. In April 2000, an executive officer system was introduced; at the same time, the number of corporate directors was reduced in order to facilitate speedy business decision-making. The number of auditors is four, all of whom are external auditors. One of the auditors is employed full-time as a standing corporate auditor. This auditor regularly attends Board of Directors’ Meetings and checks the execution of duties as necessary in collaboration with the Internal Audit Division. The system also allows the auditor to monitor the work of the corporate directors and the implementation of decisions made by the Board of Directors and Department Managers’ Meetings. All auditors and a financial auditor attend meetings of the Board of Corporate Auditors, at which the financial auditor explains the auditing system, auditing plans, and the implementation of auditing to the four corporate auditors. With the exception of the disposal of treasury stock associated with the exercising of new share subscription rights (offered following approval at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders), the external corporate auditor has no business interests in the Company.
Department Managers’ MeetingDepartment Managers’ Meetings are attended by the President and Representative Director, as well as by the department managers and general managers (directors or executive officers) in charge of the departments that control the Company’s core businesses. In accordance with basic policy decided by the Board of Directors, this body formulates specific operational policies and plans and discusses and makes decisions on other important operational matters.
Executive Management Meeting The Executive Management Meeting is made up of the senior staff (executive officers or department managers) responsible for the major corporate departments. Meetings are held three times a month to discuss action in response to specific operational issues and problems. The meetings are presided over by a corporate director selected by the Board of Directors, who reports back to the Board of Directors on the items discussed. This arrangement ensures that management is kept promptly informed of concrete issues and problems at the front line of corporate operations.
Compliance Promotion Division and J-SOX Promotion DivisionDaito has set up two offices under the direct control of the company President, the Compliance Promotion Division and the J-SOX Promotion Division, which are engaged in the prevention and management of the risk. The Compliance Promotion Division manages risk related to the legal compliance of business activities in collaboration with the Internal Audit Division, which is responsible for checking compatibility with in-house standards. The Compliance Promotion Division is also responsible for formulating the Daito Group Code of Behavior and ensuring that all employees are familiar with it.
Through its section in charge of disclosing information in the public interest, the Division endeavors to identify improper behavior as early as possible and take corrective measures.
The J-SOX Promotion Division, which began full operation on May 5, 2009, was established to meet the requirements of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, in accordance with the provisions of which it takes action to enhance and strengthen internal control.

Consolidated Financial Review
Analysis of operating results
In the year ended March 31, 2009, the worldwide credit shrinkage in financial markets that originated in
the United States began to affect the real economy in Japan. Among the consequences were a falling stock
market and a rising yen, pressure on capital investment due to large reductions in corporate earnings, and
adjustments in the employment market, all of which contributed to a strengthening of the recessionary
developments in the Japanese economy.
The housing market also continued to operate in a difficult environment, with the turbulence in the
financial market and the uncertain future of the economy dampening residential investment sentiment.
Within this scenario, the Daito Group saw the rental housing market, which is the core element of its
business, temporarily weakened by influences such as the changed attitude of financial institutions to
provide loans and reduced interest in rental property investment among landowners. However, the reasons
motivating landowners to utilize their land assets, whether to alleviate an inheritance tax burden, serve as
a source of pension income, or satisfy some other need, are resistant to the influence of the particular
economic climate, so that underlying demand stayed firm, while the demand among tenants for high-quality
rental housing also remains unchanged.
In its consolidated business performance under these conditions, the Daito Group recorded net sales of
¥954,881 million, a 49.0% increase on the previous fiscal year. On the profits front, meanwhile, operating
income increased by 6.2% to ¥70,389 million and ordinary income by 6.3% to ¥73,976 million, while net
income declined by 5.3% to ¥42,129 million.
The forecast for consolidated business performance in the fiscal year ending March 2010 is shown below.

Performance by segment
(1) Construction
In our core construction business, sales grew by 6.7% year-on-year to ¥469,603 million on the strength of a
healthy level of orders received in the first half-year and a substantial order backlog. The gross profit
margin for completed projects declined 0.3 percentage points from the previous fiscal year to 32.0%.
Nevertheless, the placing of advance orders for steel frame materials in the first half-year and the fall in
material prices in the second half-year, combined with other efforts to reduce costs, allowed the original plan
of 30.9% to be substantially exceeded.
On a non-consolidated basis, however, orders received fell by 12.3% year-on-year to ¥437,277 million. The
main factor in this was a delayed adjustment to the changed financial conditions created by the sharp
downturn in the economy from September 2008.
Going forward, we will be expanding our sales force, enhancing their training, and taking steps to match our
product lineup more closely to the needs of different markets, at the same time working to strengthen
information exchange and maintain good relations with the various financial institutions that provide loans
to our customers (i.e. landowners) for the construction of rental housing. Our forecast for orders received for
the fiscal year ending March 2010 is ¥485,000 million, an increase of 10.9% over the previous fiscal year.
1
(2) Real estate
In the real estate business, an increase in whole-building lease agreements under our Lease Management
Trust System allowed our leasing company, Daito Building Management Co., Ltd., to increase its rental
income. This was one of the main factors in the growth in the sales of the real estate business, which
increased by 171.3% year-on-year to ¥464,779 million. Regarding the occupancy rate of rental properties,
although there was no major change in tenant demand for rental housing, one effect of the sharp economic
downturn was a drop in corporate demand, which led to a worsening trend in occupancy rates in some
regions. As a result, the number of tenancy agreements concluded on a non-consolidated basis, at 171,846,
did increase by 7.8% year-on-year, but the occupancy rate for residential units registered a 0.8 percentage
point decline from the previous fiscal year to 95.6%, while the occupancy rate for commercial property fell by
1.4 percentage points to 94.1%. Moving forward, we will be renewing our television commercials and taking
other measures to further raise the degree of recognition of our e-Heya Net brand, improving the functions
of the rental unit search website, and strengthening alliances with real estate businesses as part of tenant
recruitment activities tailored to the characteristics of the different regional markets. We will also be
working to maintain a high occupancy rate through measures to expand our customer base, for instance by
providing properties that accept pets, offering tenancy agreement options that require no guarantor or no
deposit money, and promoting agreements with tenants in older age groups.
(3) Other business
Sales from other operations amounted to ¥20,497 million, a decrease of 31.1% from the previous fiscal year.
The main reason for the decreased sales total for other operations was that the rental income guarantee
business operated by Daito Kyosaikai Co., Ltd., which provides guaranteed rental income even during
vacant periods, was subsumed in February 2008 into the whole-building lease business operated by Daito
Building Management Co., Ltd. The rental income guarantee business was thus transferred from the other
operations category to become part of the whole-building lease operations of the real estate business.
Meanwhile, Gaspal Co., Ltd., which operates a nationwide LP gas supply business, added sales thanks to a
growth in the number of households supplied, while Care Partner Co., Ltd., which provides daytime care to
the elderly, benefited from sales growth due to an increase in the number of facilities operated. The number
of households supplied with LP gas by Gaspal Co., Ltd., was over 50,000 at the end of March 2009. The
target is to reach 80,000 households by the end of March 2010. The number of facilities operated by Care
Partner Co., Ltd., as of March 31, 2009, was 58. In the period to March 2010, the opening of four further
facilities is planned to bring the total to 62 facilities nationwide.
Assets and Liabilities
Current assets on a consolidated basis as of March 31, 2009, showed a decline of ¥11,444 million from the
previous fiscal year-end to ¥383,594 million. This was the result of a fall of ¥54,417 million in short-term
investment securities, including a decline in negotiable certificate of deposit, which was balanced by
increases of ¥17,302 million in cash and cash deposits, ¥7,220 million in notes and accounts receivable, and
¥11,600 million in operating loans. Noncurrent assets in the same period increased by ¥19,766 million to
¥156,883 million, a rise due chiefly to increases of ¥9,000 million in long-term deposits, ¥3,081 million in
guarantee deposits, and ¥4,424 million in subordinated bonds. Liabilities meanwhile grew by ¥13,409
million to ¥244,135 million. The main factors in this were increases of ¥8,501 million in long-term
guarantee deposits and ¥3,303 million in the provision for repairs on whole building lease. The net result of
these movements was an increase of ¥8,321 million in total assets from the previous fiscal year-end to
¥540,477 million. Shareholders’ equity ratio declined by 1.8 percentage points from the previous fiscal
year-end to 54.7%, while net assets totaled ¥296,341 million.
Cash flows
Cash and cash deposits at fiscal year-end stood at ¥181,569 million, down ¥26,677 million from a year
earlier.
(1) Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥30,209 million. The main element in this was
income before income taxes and minority interests, which amounted to ¥72,902 million, a 5.0% decrease
over the previous fiscal year, set against with a ¥7,234 million increase in notes and accounts receivable and
income taxes paid of ¥34,209 million.
2
(2) Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥13,480 million. The main elements in this were a net figure of
¥8,058 million used in the purchase and sale of short-time investment securities and investment securities
and ¥7,497 million in additions to guarantee deposits.
(3) Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥39,606 million. This consisted principally of ¥28,118 million in
dividends paid and ¥11, 446 million in acquisition costs, mainly for purchase of treasury stock to be retired.
Cash flow indicators for the Daito Group are shown below.

Interest coverage ratio: cash flow divided by interest payments
*1. All figures are calculated on a consolidated basis.
*2. The total market value of shares is calculated by multiplying the closing share prices at the end of the fiscal year by the total number of
shares issued and outstanding at the fiscal year-end (exclusive of treasury stock).
*3. Cash flow is based on cash flow from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest-bearing debt covers all of
those liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets for which interest is paid. Interest payment is based on interest paid as shown in
the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Basic policy on appropriation of earnings and dividends for the fiscal years for
March 2009 and March 2010
(1) Dividend policy
Daito’s dividend policy has consistently reflected the recognition of shareholder return as an important issue.
Our basic commitment is to provide a stable dividend by ensuring a strong business base; specifically, we
have set a target payout ratio of 30%, to consist of a standard dividend of ¥20 and a profit return component
reflecting the combined business performance of Daito and its subsidiary Daito Building Management Co.,
Ltd. On this basis, we intend to apply to an annual dividend per share of ¥104 (¥52 of which was paid as an
interim dividend). From the fiscal year ending March 2010, the target payout ratio will change to 50%, to
consist of a standard dividend of ¥20 and a profit return component reflecting consolidated business
performance.
(2) Purchase and retirement of treasury stock
When certain conditions are met, including non-consolidated net income exceeding ¥10,000 million and the
absence of large-scale funding requirements, Daito applies a policy of ongoing purchase and retirement of
treasury stock in the interest of increasing shareholder value. The upper limit for purchase of treasury stock
is set at a target figure of 50% of non-consolidated net income. In the fiscal year ended March 2009,
2,760,000 shares (acquisition cost ¥11,446 million) were purchased. Together with the 479,600 shares
acquired in the previous fiscal year, this formed a total of 3,239,600 shares, which were retired on March 31,
2009. Starting in the fiscal year ending March 2010, Daito will change to a policy of ongoing purchase and
retirement of treasury stock in the interest of increasing shareholder value when consolidated net income
exceeds ¥10,000 million, there are no large-scale funding requirements, and certain other conditions are
met. The upper limit for purchase of treasury stock will be altered to a target figure of 30% of consolidated
net income.
(3) Application of internal reserve funds
The future deployment of internal reserve funds will be explored with the focus on effective investment
strategies for business expansion and increase of corporate value.

Business risks
The rental housing sector which is the core business of the Daito Group is subject to the risks described
below. In connection with the operating results, financial position, cash flow, and other aspects of the
business performance of the Daito Group, items which may have a significant influence on the decisions
made by investors are listed below. References to the future in the text are based on assessments made by
the Daito Group as of the fiscal year-end.
(1) Increase in cost of sales and decline in profitability due to sharp rise in material costs
Daito assumes the role of principal contractor in all its lease building construction projects, while its on-site
construction supervisors (construction engineers) place separate orders for each stage of construction
directly with subcontractors, with the aim of curtailing costs for completed work. In the event that an
increase in various material prices leads to an upward revision of subcontractor invoices payable by the
Company, gross profit margins may be negatively impacted.
(2) Performance decline due to changes in inheritance and property taxes
Daito obtains building construction orders based on its consulting sales activities, which include making
proposals to landowners for the effective utilization of land for residential lease buildings. Within Japan’s
current tax system, building lease operations are deemed to be effective means of land utilization.
Furthermore, the most common reason for landowners to begin residential lease operations is as a strategy
to alleviate the burden of inheritance and property taxes. Accordingly, in the case that changes to the law or
liberalization measures are applied to land inheritance and property taxes, the Company’s procurement of
orders may be affected, and its performance may decline.
(3) Order cancellations due to sudden interest rate hikes
When first engaging in building lease operations, landowners generally borrow money from banks and other
financial institutions to cover the cost of building construction. Overall long-term interest rates have
remained low, providing stable yield from property leasing activities, even if the market weakens. This is a
key factor for landowners commencing real estate leasing. In the event that interest rates rise sharply,
landowners may cancel their orders for projects in the planning stage or review plans for work in progress
due to the deterioration in profitability. Under these circumstances, the Company may not meet its targets
for total orders received or for total projects completed.
(4) Increase in overheads due to legislative changes
Daito requires a number of approvals and licenses in order to conduct its business. These include building
industry approvals, registration as architects, a real estate agency license, and a license to participate in the
money lending business. The Company’s corporate activities are also subject to related laws and various
other legal regulations. To ensure that such regulations are properly observed, the Company is reinforcing
its corporate governance and compliance systems. However, the Company’s business performance may be
impacted in the event of failure to observe laws and other regulations, or the enactment of new laws that
restrict its business activities.
(5) Risk of personal information leaks
Daito assumes custody of various personal information about landowners and tenants. While the Company
is particularly careful about protecting personal information, any leakage of such information to outside
parties could lead to a significant loss of trust, which could affect its business performance.
