Translation - English Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. (Keiji Kimura, Chairman & Representative Director) endeavors to strengthen the management supervisory function and business execution function, achieve more efficient management and accelerate decision making while introducing an executive officer system. The Company’s board of directors consists of 12 members, among whom three are non-executive directors and the company aims to enhance its supervisory functions. The Company’s board of directors resolved at its board of directors meeting held on May 10, 2007 to introduce the plan for countermeasures to large-scale acquisitions of the shares in the Company (takeover defense measures) (hereafter, the “Plan”). Even after introducing the Plan, assuming gratis allotment of stock acquisition rights has not been implemented, there is no direct or specific impact on shareholders. If the gratis allotment of stock acquisition rights has been implemented in accordance with the Plan, in principle, the Company will implement a gratis allotment of Stock Acquisition Rights to all registered shareholders of the Company as of the Record Date of Allotment at a ratio of one Stock Acquisition Right per share. Due to the adoption of “Accounting Standard for Measurement Inventories” (ASBJ Statement No. 9, issued on July 5, 2006) from the fiscal year under review, the cost method for individual items (in which book value is reduced in accordance with declines in profitability) was mainly used. This change resulted in decreases of 17,392 million yen each in the fiscal year’s operating profit and ordinary profit and decrease of 25,468 million yen in the net profit before income taxes and minority interests, compared to the previous method.

Financial Results
Reviewing the economic environment for the current consolidated accounting period, with respect to the global economy, the U.S. economy has seen ongoing recovery due to increasing consumer spending, and the European economy as a whole has shown continuing signs of recovery. Meanwhile, some economies such as those of China and emerging countries have shown signs of weakness. With regard to the Japanese economy, though weakness was seen in consumer spending and other areas, moderate recovery has continued.

Source text - English In light of the continuing weak capital markets and the resulting impact on the performance of the capital holdings and the banking business AAA is adjusting its profit outlook for fiscal 2002 to the changed environment. The previous forecast for the full fiscal 2002 of 3 billion euros (after 1 .62 billion euros for the year2001) was based on the assumption that the equity market would stabilize at the level reached at the start of the year. It is clear that in current market conditions the forecast cannot be achieved while maintaining the expected quality of earning.
In the first half-year of fiscal 2002 AAA has achieved a profit of around 1.6 billion euros. However, due to the weakness of the capital markets a loss of about350 million euros had to be registered in the second quarter.
Besides the investment portfolio, which had to absorb high write-downs, the banking segment was especially affected. Here the difficult condition of the capital markets resulted in a significant drop in earning; the cost reduction measures implemented and executed so far have not been able to compensate for the shortfall. Furthermore, a limited number of large-scale insolvencies and the ongoing difficulties in Latin America continue to weigh on the credit portfolio. It is to be expected that the result in this business segment will be clearly negative and therefore significantly below expectations.
The other core business segments of AAA have performed well. In property and casualty insurance as well as in life and health insurance the premium growth was significantly ahead of budget. The operational indicators improved as well. Thus it was possible to
reduce the combined ratio to around 102 percent. The asset management segment saw a
positive net asset inflow despite the difficult market situation and is therefore ahead of budget.
Translation - Japanese 資本市場は引き続き弱く、これに伴う財務状態と銀行業務への影響を受け、AAAは環境の変化に伴い、2002年度の利益見通しを調整する。2001年度の16億2,000万ユーロに続き、2002年度の改正前収益見通しは30億ユーロであった。改正前見通しの予想前提は、株式市場は年初のレベルに落ち着くということだった。現在の市場の状態を鑑みれば、予想収益の質を維持しながら予想を達成することが不可能なのは明らかである。

Source text - English Consolidated result
The result continued to improve during the fourth quarter with a pfofit of MSEK 3 (-31 including MSEK 14 in restructuring costs). Accordingly, the profit for the whole financial year was MSEK 11, .which is MSEK70 better than the previous year if restructuring costs, capital gains and other non-recurring items are eliminated.
The by far major part of the improvement in the result in 2001 was accounted for by the
Liner service between the Nordic countries and the Mediterranean The restructuring of the liner operations carried out the autumn of 2000, among other with formation of
SolNiver Lines, generated higher cargo volumes. Together with higher rates and a higher USD/SEK exchange rate, this means that freight revenues in this service rose 20%. However, only apportion of this increase can be seen in the consolidated income statement since SolNiver Lines is consolidated proportionally and the revenues for the RoRo vessels are partly in the form of time-charter hire. The higher cargo volume has also resulted in greater efficiency.
Cargo volumes transported by the subsidiary TransProCon, in the form of international project consignments, rose sharply during the year. This generated a substantial improvement in earnings, which means that TransProCon accounts for a large portion of the consolidated profit.
As a result of the worsening economy in South Afrca and the weak South African
currency, transport volumes in the container service to South Africa fell during the second half of the year. This, together with the subsequent higher cost of positioning empty containers, resulted in a lower surplus generated by this service. Freight volumes to West Africa, on the other hand, increased during the second half of the year.
Swedish Orient line's sale and charter-back of the four RoRo vessels at the end 01 2000
have resulted in lower overall costs for the vessels. Another consequence of this is that all the vessel costs are now shown as an operating cost, which means that cons1olidated
depreciation has decreased sharply at the same time as a positive net financial result has arisen due to the fact that all the ship loans were repaid during the last quarter of 2000.
English to Japanese: Fed Policy Statement - FRB政策声明 General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English Market Reaction – Market reaction to the Fed’s announcement was immediate and rather dramatic. However, markets did require a little bit of time to digest the implications.
Thus, the Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500), which had advanced to near 1,150 by late morning and strongly up from Monday’s close at 1,119.46, broke sharply into negative territory on the news. But the S&P 500 subsequently reversed upward to close the day up 53.07 index points at 1,172.53.
Note that domestic equities are now in negative territory for the year 2011 with volatility, as measured by the S&P 500 VIX volatility index, rising sharply into the 40-50% level over the past week or so.
Investors continued to flock to Treasuries as a “safe haven” with advancing prices and sharply falling yields. Note that two-year yields declined 8 basis points to 19 basis points by the conclusion of the day.
This “flight to quality” into Treasuries ostensibly seems counter-intuitive in light of S&P’s action to downgrade long-term U.S. sovereign debt from AAA to AA+ last Friday, August 5. Still, Treasuries remain a large and highly liquid market while the risk of a default remains extremely unlikely. And, significantly, general economic weakness as articulated by the FOMC announcement generally detracts from investors’ inclination to seek out riskier investments.

English to Japanese: Trading the TUT Spread - 限月間スプレッド取引 General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English Structuring a TUT Spread
With a properly constructed TUT spread, gains or losses on the spread should be the result of changes in the yield curve as opposed to changes in the direction of interest rates. To filter out this directional effect, you can ratio a yield curve spread using the dollar value of a basis point (DV01) for each contract to assure that each leg will respond equally, in dollar terms, to a given yield change.
On December 31, the 2-Year T-Note futures contract was trading at 105-04 and had a DV01 of $38.77. This indicates that a 1 bp shift in the yield of the underlying Treasury note will move the price of one 2-Year T-Note futures contract $38.77 in the opposite direction. (Note that the 2-Year T-Note contract has $200,000 notional value, whereas other Treasury futures, including the flagship 10-Year T-Note contract, have $100,000 notional value.)

Source text - English For the USDJPY, traders are watching the 100 day MA/100 hour MA
The USDJPY moved above and closed above the 100 day MA on Thursday of last week (blue line in the chart above). The price high post that break was reached yesterday at the 98.69 level. The price decline off that high has moved to the low today of 96.958 which was just below the 100 day MA line at 95.98. No sellers below that line and the pair has rebounded back higher. The line is an important technical level (witness the support off of the 100 day MA on the EURUSD today). Holding above the level is important if the bears are to take back control.
Looking at the hourly chart, the price is testing the topside trend line off the recent highs (at 97.71), and has moved above the 100 hour MA (blue line in chart below at the 97.358 level). These are the technical levels that should determine bullish/bearish in trading today. The bulls are move in control for the time being with the 100 day MA and 100 hour MA being taken back. However the move above the trend line will help keep that momentum going with the highs from today and yesterday, the next obvious targets on the topside.

English to Japanese: Unix migration - UNIXマイグレーション General field: Other Detailed field: IT (Information Technology)
Source text - English Unix migration is certainly not a new phenomenon, and it continues to occur across all industries and sizes of organizations. Rapid technological advances and ever-changing business conditions are driving companies to continually evaluate their server infrastructure, including which server platforms will support specific workloads. Companies want to better leverage their IT investments for performance and efficiency, as well as to drive down hardware and software spending, along with management costs. In order to achieve these performance goals and economic goals, many companies continue to consolidate and standardize their IT infrastructures and often consider platform migration as part of this drive toward IT simplification in the datacenter. While it is rare for any one operating system to predominate in a datacenter environment, reducing the number of server platforms that must be supported, going forward, can reduce ongoing operational costs.
Translation - Japanese UNIXマイグレーションは新しい現象ではない。あらゆる業種、あらゆる規模の企業で起こり続けていることである。急速なテクノロジーの進化と変化し続ける業況を受けて、企業は自社のサーバー インフラストラクチャの価値を見直すことが常に求められている。これには、どのサーバープラットフォームでどのワークロードを処理するかということも含まれる。企業は、業績と効率のためにIT投資を一層活用したいと考えている。また、管理コストに加え、ハードウェアやソフトウェアに対する支出を引き下げたいとも考えている。こういった業績目標や経費削減目標を達成する目的で、多くの企業はITインフラの統合と標準化を継続的に行っている。データセンターでは、IT簡略化の一環としてプラットフォームの移行を検討することが多い。1つのデータセンター環境を1種類のオペレーティングシステムで統一することは稀だが、サポート対象とするサーバープラットフォームの種類を減らすと、将来的には運用コストの削減につなげることができる。

Source text - English WinCC flexible Runtime is a high-performance and comprehensive software for the visualization of processes in projects you created with the WinCC flexible Advanced programming software.
Modern automation concepts are extremely demanding on process visualization. Process control close to machines must in particular meet the demands for simple, high-performance control of the processes. The goal is to present process data to the operator quickly and clearly in a form that can be easily understood, such as a trend display. This increasingly requires process displays that simplify understanding of the actual process. It is also becoming more important to be able to archive the data, e.g. for quality control. This makes it necessary to log process data at machine level.
WinCC flexible Runtime is designed for visualization and operation of machines and small systems. The Runtime software has a window-based user interface. Due to its short response times, the software features secure process operation, jogging at the machine and secure data acquisition.
