Chairman & CEO

Shiro Murai

September 2013

Please let me express my utmost gratitude to our shareholders for supporting us.

As we hereby deliver the 22nd Midterm Business Report, I would like to convey a few words of greetings.

During the midterm period under review, the Japanese economy showed an increase in exports and a recovery in personal consumption due to a rise in stock prices and yen depreciation led by expectation of various policies of the new administration. In the U.S.A., lowering unemployment rate and personal consumption drove the economy into a mild recovery. However, in Europe there are few signs of improvement in business confidence, and in China economic growth was sagging and local government financial problems were becoming obvious, which resulted in sluggish growth in consumption.

In this economic environment, with respect to net sales for the midterm period under review, the Company achieved a significant increase in revenue in comparison to the same period of the previous consolidated fiscal year, backed by yen depreciation. However, profit fell year on year due to the impact of inventory adjustment by some customers, as well as fixed costs incurred by a manufacturing subsidiary which is currently in its initial stages of operation. During the second half of the year, however, factors such as the full-fledged implementation of new projects are expected to bring about improvements in business results. In addition, despite yen depreciation, there have been no major changes in the overseas production needs of our corporate customers, and in July the Company launched operations at a new factory in the Philippines, which has seen prominent growth in recent years as a “China plus one” country. We are also planning to establish a manufacturing base in Mexico. In combination with our sales and logistics bases, we will meet the various outsourcing needs of our customers. Although the business environment remains severe due to factors such as rising personnel costs in emerging countries and intensifying industry competition, our markets are expanding and we will strive to further improve our business results by making full use of our business expertise, network of bases, and strengths in procurement of parts and materials that we have developed through our many years of overseas business activities and providing high value added services to our corporate customers.

Finally, I would like to ask our shareholders’ continuous support towards the future.
