Outlook

Sales of previously established shopping centers again fell 0.8% in September when compared with figures for the same month last year.
Unusually warm weather negatively brought about weak demand for autumn goods.
In addition, the record favorable figure of a 2.1% growth for September 2006 is seen as having negatively affected figures this month.
Classification by tenant type revealed that tenants claiming unfavorable results were women's apparel in addition to the food and drinking businesses.
As for anchor tenants' sales, sales of the fresh food, men's and women's clothing stores showed unfavorable results.
