We note that your profit and basic earnings per share have decreased 37.4% and 37.2%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022. Please describe the significant
factors that led to such declines on this page and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section on page 77.

We have considered your responses to comments 4 and 5. You indicate that NAV is intended to show the Company’s net assets on a long-term basis. In your calculation you eliminate assets and/or liabilities at the
consolidated holding company level that are not related to the asset value of the underlying direct property. It remains unclear how eliminating certain consolidated assets and/or liabilities from your calculation yields a measure to show the
value of the entire Company’s net assets. Please further clarify what your measure represents and the usefulness of such measure and consider whether the labeling of your measure is representative of its intended use.

Further to our above comment, you indicate that NAV is intended to reflect what would be needed to recreate the Company through the property investment market based on its current capital and financing
structure. Please clarify to us and expand your disclosures to further discuss what this statement means and how potential users of such information would value and find such information useful.

Within your response to comment 5, you indicate that assets and liabilities that are not expected to materialize in the ordinary course, such as deferred taxes are excluded from your NAV calculation. Please
clarify to us and expand your disclosures to further discuss what this statement means. In addition, we note that it appears recoverable taxes are factored into your determination of NAV, however, deferred income tax are not. As a part of
your response, please compare and contrast the two types of taxes and explain how one type of tax is included while the other form of taxes are excluded. Please outline the facts and circumstances that support your conclusion in your
response.
