The management of the REIT has issued an update on the situation in Japan:
"The property managers have managed to view 6 properties so far, as set out below. Preliminary reports have confirmed that these 6 properties have sustained only minor damage and do not appear in any imminent danger of collapse. However, the full extent of damage can only be ascertained after more detailed assessments.
"The property managers have managed to view all 3 properties in Koriyama.... The property managers have not managed to view any of the 3 properties in Morioka.... It should be noted that 1 out these 3 properties (with annual rental income of approximately JPY 30.6 million (S$0.5 million)) belongs to the YK Shintoku portfolio." See announcement here.
The selling this morning is overdone but it is to be expected, I suppose. If I did not have a thorough understanding of the REIT's current financial standing and how much it could suffer on the downside in the worst case scenario, I could have been one of the sellers too. Good luck to us all.

Does it make sense to buy some SAIZEN now? or should wait for further report?
Confused!
If the yen drops drastically, don't you think we need to potentially look at this as a lowering of valuations / yield?
Hi Confused,
It depends on your risk appetite. Fundamentally, a low of 13c is excessive if we believe that losses to NAV and income distribution is capped at 15%. I cannot provide advisory. You have to decide for yourself. Good luck. :)
Hi Mark,
The Yen is going up. In fact, the BOJ might have to step in to weaken the Yen if it keeps strengthening.
In a crisis, lots of money is being repatriated back to Japan. Japan remains one of the world's biggest economic powers with many MNCs and Japanese abroad. Japan is also one of the world's biggest lenders.
This was in a tweet this morning. Follow me on Twitter and get updated on my micro blogs: AK71SG. ;)
I dont have twitter brudda. LOL. I dont know whats the diff between it and FB actually
Number 3 nuclear has just exploded.
Hi AK,
I have just vested in saizen a few months ago. I agree with you the panic selling this morning is expected, and seems that some major shareholders are exiting this counter.
Want to find out your opinion on whether the management at Saizen is doing a good job in their updates on the situation in Japan to date. I feel that if they are able to provide timely and accurate updates, that should show a certain level of credibility on the management's part to concerned investors. Am I right to say that?

Hi Mark,
Twitter is very simple. Just short messages which are too short to be blog posts. That's how I use it. :)
Facebook, I have not tried yet. I am slowly discovering these things. No hurry. ;)
Hi Mark,
Reactor not breached in latest nuclear plant explosion, says Jap govt.
Hi FMX,
I believe that Saizen REIT's managers have been very transparent and timely in their updates. There was one announcement last Friday and one today.
I am not sure that major shareholders are exiting the counter. Saizen REIT has a billion units or more in issue and in the first half of today, we see only approximately 12 million units traded.
Now, I am awaiting more reports on the rest of its possibly affected properties.
SAIZEN provide any distribution? No damage to buildings but will they be able to continue their business?
Hi WGFB,
Saizen REIT's last income distribution was on 8 Mar 2011. DPU: 0.52c.
The REIT has 146 properties in Japan and only 28 properties are in the affected areas. The business is going on as usual elsewhere.
However, the properties which withstood the quake and tsunami would probably need some repair work.
We can only pray that life returns to normal for the people of Japan soon.
i certainly hoped that there is sufficient insurance coverage on this and not be a rights issue to raise $ for the repairs.
I also learned the importance of having standby cash for opportunities like this. I certainly wanted to bring down my avg cost with this 13-13.5c/share units. But war chest rather empty....
Twitter ? Me also no. too many distraction. However, a mobile version of this blog will be helpful as I do access it while on the move. Please.... ^-^

Hi SnOOpy168,
I will wait for more announcements and updates by the management. All that I know, I have already shared on my blog. No point losing sleep over this. :)
As for a mobile version of my blog, some readers are reading my blog on iPhone and iPad. Is that what you mean?
Hi AK,
Well, I have held onto my Saizen as well..
Not going to sell as I think the selling was overdone...
Saizen has a huge cash horde at the moment in anticipation to pay off YK shintoku loan..
In the event that YK shintoku loan not paid off, Saizen should still be able to distribute dividends...
My only hope is that the buildings are properly insured...
I do hope the crisis can be a blessing in disguise... The insurance money, coupled with the existing cash horde is able to pay off YK Shintoku loan completely..
But I guess that is just my wishful naive thinking...
Anyway, let's hope all the buildings are structurally intact and covered fully by insurance...
the mobile version is designed for small screen size and faster downloads.
It doesn't matter if it is iPad or iPhone, just that I prefer a faster download with less clutter onscreen when I am having a small screen (mine is 3.5" vs those 10" biggie)
Cheers

Hi Zelphon,
Fundamentally, we can only hope for the best.
Technically, the panic selling we saw this morning was hardly a good time to reduce exposure, in my opinion. For anyone who is looking to reduce exposure, waiting for price to test supports turned resistance is preferred.
Financially, if the buildings belonging to YK Shintoku should be destroyed, I believe the best thing is for YK Shintoku to go into foreclosure. Then, all the money that is being hoarded (from the exercise of the warrants) is free for other investment opportunities.
Let's see what happens next. :)
Hi SnOOpy168,
So des ne. Unfortunately, I do not know how that could be done. :(
So, until I become more tech savvy, please bear with my clunky blog. ;p
The update by Saizen is really vague. Anyway, we can only wait and how see thing pan out.
Set alert at 10cents. kekeke.
Hi Derek,
Given the number of properties they have that could have been affected and the fact that they are scattered amongst 3 cities, they are not doing a bad job of reporting.
Things so far are appearing benign. Let us continue to hope for the best.
