TRANSCRIPT
Nippon COMSYS Corporation was established in 1951, during Japan’s postwar turmoil, to undertake the rebuilding of the
country’s telecommunications infrastructure. That was the year before the establishment of Nippon Telegraph and
Telephone Public Corporation, which was later privatized and renamed Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT).
At that time, the primary function of Nippon COMSYS Corporation was to execute telecommunications network construction
projects in support of NTT. The Company subsequently made a place for itself in the industry on the basis of its successes
in the postwar construction of Japan’s telecommunications infrastructure, and has remained an industry leader to this
day. Nippon COMSYS Corporation will continue to expand its business, seeking to contribute to the development of the
information society of the future.

■ Five-Year Financial Summary
■ Fostering and Organizing IP Technicians—IT Business Division LaunchedWith the explosion of information technology, various systems using Internet protocol network tech-
nology are being developed in the marketplace. The need for design, maintenance, and adminis-
tration services is growing as a result, as is the need for package outsourcing of these functions.
At COMSYS, we have designated the provision of network solutions to these needs as
one of our core businesses, and in March 2001 established the IT Business Division. This new
division is composed of a Marketing Section, a Systems Solutions Section, an Internet
Protocol Section, a Broadband Development Section, and a Comsys IP Network Integration
Support Section. Combining the Company’s experience in telecommunications construction
project execution, its expertise in the development of application software, and its strength in
cutting-edge IP Network technology, we will be providing top flight total solutions service.
COMSYS has been placing particular emphasis on the training of IP technicians, with
a view to expanding its IP business, and approximately 1,000 employees have obtained various
vendor certifications in IP-related areas. These IP technicians will augment their abilities in
the course of their business activities, and we believe that this will strengthen the
Company’s overall strength.
■ Strengthening our Affiliate StructureApproximately 70% of the cost of completed projects is composed of subcontracting costs. That
is why strengthening the structure of affiliates is an important issue for COMSYS. As many of
our affiliates are small firms that specialize in particular areas, we are combining some
affiliates and strengthening their structures with the aim of to diversifying technological
capabilities, enhancing operational efficiency, and upgrading project supervision.
In addition, we are identifying those affiliates that efficiently produce high-quality work,
and have instituted a subcontracting system that provides them with an incentive in the form
of increased order volume. Further, COMSYS is providing these designated companies
with numerous technicians through temporary or permanent transfer, thus promoting the
active transfer of technologies.

■ Expanding our Business DomainThe development of new businesses is an important issue under our COMSYS-21 plan,
which sets forth the new goal of becoming a comprehensive engineering firm for the
21st century. Since being established in July 2000, the Company’s Business Development
Department has undertaken various projects such as the “LAN Convenience Store” service to
assist small office-home office users and small and medium sized businesses in building LANs
and WANs using the Internet and environment-related projects operating in the fields of
wind power and solar power.
To further expand its new business development projects, in December 2001 the
Company instituted an internal venture system, which asks each employee throughout
the Company for new businesses ideas in the key fields of IP, IT, health, benefits, and the envi-
ronment. This supports the vigorous establishment of new businesses. The Business
Development Department has established a new business home page and the New
Business Mail Magazine for employees, establishing a new business development system in
which all employees participate regardless of division or position.
The government’s e-Japan Strategy speaks of the goal of becoming the world’s
preeminent IT nation within five years, through the construction of an ultra-high-speed Internet
infrastructure, the quick realization of continuous connection Internet service, the estab-
lishment of regulations for e-commerce, the realization of e-government, and, through
human development suited to the new era, the establishment of an environment that is based on
market principles and allows the fullest possible expression of the power of the private sector.
In addition to IT, we at COMSYS are also concerned with the environment and the aging
society, and are striving to evolve quickly into a comprehensive engineering firm for the IT-
revolution era that can make a substantial contribution to a better society in the 21st century.

■ Our Operations: an Overview
As the high-order information society continues to advance, the focus of
communications is shifting from voice to digital data. For this reason,
Japan needs to develop an Internet-provider network, beginning with
high-speed broadband access facilities. Since its founding in 1951, reliable
technological expertise has kept COMSYS in the forefront of the
telecommunications construction industry, and the Company has played a
significant role in the building of Japan’s communications infrastructure. In
this era, with the IT revolution progressing at an accelerating pace,
COMSYS is pursuing leading-edge technology and demonstrating an
eagerness to take on these new challenges. At the same time, we
are contributing to the growth of the communications society.
■ Cable-Tunnel Construction Project(underground tunnel construction)
This shows the laying of high-capacity undergroundcommunications cables. Such projects are complex, asurban areas lay not only communications cablesunderground, but also gas lines, water lines, and variousother infrastructure. COMSYS’s high technologicallevel allows the Company to carry out high-levelprojects, and has executed approximately one-third of allsuch communications tunnel projects in Japan.
■ Conduit Line Construction Project by the Open-Cut Method
Digging directly from the surface, COMSYSinstalls CC BOX and Information BOX facilities.Because telephone poles are eliminated, thesefacilities are more resistant to natural disaster,and contribute to urban beautification.
■ Cable Engineering Works Project (installation of communications cables)COMSYS is engaged in the design, installation,and testing of communications cable networks invarious locations, including cable systems linking thevarious NTT buildings and linking the facilities ofother common carriers, and cable systems withinintelligent buildings. The Company is also linkingfamily homes to various services using telephonelines. More than telephone lines, the Company isengaged in the building of optical-fiber, cabletelevision, Internet-protocol, and other communi-cations networks.
■ Switching System and Transmission Equipment ProjectsCOMSYS is engaged in the installation of switching systems and transmission equip-ment, together with the installation, connection, and maintenance of cables,connectors, and other peripherals. We are building systems and facilities that allowthe error-free switching and long-distance transmission of the information thatcomes through telecommunications providers.
■ Electric Power Equipment ProjectsTo enable communications facilities to function smoothly, an infrastructure of powergeneration facilities, battery-charging equipment, converters, cable connections,and maintenance services is necessary. COMSYS is engaged in the construction andexpansion of this infrastructure, and is building electric power systems suited to supplythe communications facilities and equipment of telecommunications firms.

The Company executes all phases of the construction of mobile telephone base stations, from selection
of locations and negotiations of property rights, to the design, execution, and testing of the stations them-
selves. Because base stations must be designed to suit and constructed in a wide variety of environments,
a high degree of technological expertise and specialized knowledge is required. For this reason,
COMSYS is ideally suited to operate in the field of mobile telecommunications projects. COMSYS has also
achieved a number of successes in the construction of third-generation mobile telephone facilities.
■ A Steel Tower for a Mobile Telecommunications SystemCOMSYS has built the best track record in the industry for the construction ofsteel towers for mobile telecommunications systems. We are bringing ourtechnology and experience to bear in the execution of tower projects in a numberof locations, including the roofs of the NTT Building and other high-rises.
■ Aiming a Microwave AntennaThe correct aiming of microwave antennae to ensure the efficienttransmission and reception of microwave signals is an importantelement of our telecommunications infrastructure. A key towinning these important contracts is the trust born of experienceand a reputation for the ability to produce high-quality work.
■ A Mobile Telephone Base StationIn the suburbs, mobile telephone antennae are usually free-standing towers. In cities, they are usually located on theroofs of high-rise buildings. Over and above the construction ofbase stations, COMSYS offers integrated services that includethe installation of electric power sources, transmitter equipment,and other related facilities and equipment.
■ Test Operation of Switching EquipmentCOMSYS has a comprehensive contract for the design andconstruction of this mobile telephone facility, which will includebackward-compatible mobile telephone equipment, third gener-ation mobile telephone-capable switching systems and transmitterequipment, as well as electric power facilities.

COMSYS is engaged in the development of commercial
systems, and has built a strong track record through
the development of many business applications,
networks, and database solutions. The Company
has also developed many applications and control
systems for various types of infrastructure for the NTT
Group and other telecommunications firms, offering
total solutions service packages encompassing every-
thing from design to maintenance and administration.
Last year the company launched its highly
lauded LAN Convenience Store service, which
provides LAN and WAN construction support to small office, home office (SOHO) operators, Internet service
providers, and small and medium-sized businesses using the Internet. Until now, as the scope of a business
service contract became smaller, it became relatively more expensive. We have thoroughly reevaluated our
business flow with a view to eliminating that drawback, and have achieved cost reductions by building
systems that can be administered through the Internet and offering service package contracts. This has given
birth to a new service that allows the client to build a network as easily as shopping at a convenience store.
Other information systems businesses include the production of interactive programming for digital
satellite broadcasts, which allow viewers to interact with broadcast stations. The Company will be
watching the rapid progress of IT for opportunities to employ its high level of technological expertise in
crafting proposals for new services.
Information Systems
■ A screen shot from one of the Company’s digital satellite broadcast programs.Digital technology greatly increases the number of channels available, leading toforecasts of expanded demand for programming. COMSYS is positioning itself totake advantage of the business opportunity this represents.
Using the technological expertise in civil engineering and construction that COMSYS has accumulated in the
course of its cable tunnel construction activities, the Company is engaged in the construction of commu-
nications antenna towers for mobile telephony and the design and construction of office buildings and
condominiums. In addition, the Company is engaged in design and construction activities in such environment-
related areas as wind power and solar power.
Recent years have seen growing demand for the construction of intelligent buildings that fully utilize
information technology, and in the past few years demand has grown for new condominiums furnished with
complete home LANs to serve as platforms for home security systems and Internet access. Therefore, COMSYS
is shifting its emphasis from the construction of radio facilities to the construction and maintenance of residential
buildings. COMSYS has already gained experience in the building of small-scale LANs through its LAN
Convenience Store operations, but the Company’s greatest strength is that it possesses not only expertise
in construction technology, but also high-level information technology skills. This strength is highly
regarded by those in the industry who select contractors for these projects.
With the advance of computerization, this strength will be a significant asset to COMSYS in the com-
petition to win contracts. Demand is forecast in connection with the refurbishment of office buildings
constructed during the high-growth period, and we therefore expect our architecture business to expand.

■Featured Technologies
The Keybox Key Control System
Jointly with a control equipment development firm, COMSYS has developed a key control system
that provides real-time, unitary control, and commenced marketing this system in January
2002. This system uses a non-contact integrated circuit to control access to the key locker
through the user’s identification card. Each key is attached to a key holder that has a non-contact
IC attached, which passes data on key check-out and return to a computer, allowing unitary key
control. This provides real-time information on who is using what key at any given moment, as well
as a historical record of who has used keys in the past. Further, this data can be accessed from
remote sites using the Internet.
In this joint project, COMSYS was primarily responsible for the control software. Because the
system will reduce labor costs at facilities that are open 24 hours a day, we are marketing it to security
companies, power and gas utility companies, commercial building and parking lot maintenance
companies, hospitals, and hotels.
Passing the user’s ID in front of the integratedcircuit card unlocks the key locker, allowingremoval of keys.
In 1999, our Technology Research & Development Center began the develop-
ment of a tuned rotary-mass damper jointly with the Shimazaki Research
Laboratory of Tokai University’s Engineering Department. This effort was a
resounding success. Field tests are complete, and we are now at the stage of
readying the product for market.
Dampers are installed in buildings, bridges, and towers to reduce the
effects of earthquakes and high winds. This joint development project produced
a very simple yet epoch-making device, which uses a rotating cylindrical
weight within another cylinder to absorb vibration energy.
The Technology Research & Development Center commenced actual
device testing from August 2001, assuming the devices would be used with
expressway panel lamps to help prevent metal fatigue and burnt out light
bulbs. After the devices were installed, one-tenth of sudden vibration and
one fourth of continuous vibration was absorbed, an extremely high damping ratio.
Data developed during testing was compiled and published in the
Journal of Structural Engineering, and received a high scholarly evaluation.
Because of its simple design it will have an extremely low construction cost of
about one-fifth that of previous devices, and will cause little concern with
regard to breakage. For these reasons, we have had a large number of
inquiries from concerned firms. The Technology Research & Development
Center will be preparing a pamphlet and a video introducing the tuned
rotary-mass damper, which it will distribute to prefectural and municipal
governments, and to highway and expressway public corporations.
