1. Overview of Business Results, etc.

(1) Overview of Business Results for the Period Under Review

The Japanese economy during the fiscal year under review faced uncertain factors, such as a limited supply of semi-conductors and other products, soaring raw material prices, weakening yen, and inflation fears, while COVID-19 preventive measures helped recovery in some areas.

Amid this environment, regarding financial results for the current fiscal year, net sales amounted to ¥125,850 million (an increase of 18.9% from the previous fiscal year), mainly boosted by the expansion of the semiconductor and electronic component markets, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding profits, operating profit amounted to ¥2,602 million (an increase of 189.3% from the previous fiscal year), driven by an increased gross profit associated with increased net sales and an improved gross margin ratio and by the effect of the yen depreciation, although the increased net sales also caused an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, including packing and transportation costs, sales promotion costs and labor costs. Ordinary profit amounted to ¥2,601 million (an increase of 128.3% from the previous fiscal year) due to compensation income recorded associated with the transfer of transaction flows, despite an increase in foreign exchange losses. Profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to ¥1,908 million (an increase of 266.6% from the previous fiscal year) due to gain on sale of non-current assets of ¥1,090 million and a decrease in income taxes - deferred associated with the application of the group tax sharing system, despite extraordinary losses including impairment losses of ¥1,585 million.

The financial results of the segments are as follows:

1) Device Solution business

Net sales amounted to ¥103,273 million (an increase of 20.6% from the previous fiscal year), and segment profit amounted to ¥2,760 million (an increase of 153.1% from the previous fiscal year). This is attributable to increased sales of PC electronic components driven by greater demand for remote work and also attributable to extended procurement management services, despite decreased sales of semi-conductors for office equipment.

2) System Solution business

Net sales amounted to ¥22,577 million (an increase of 11.6% from the previous fiscal year), driven by the growth of the industrial infrastructure business including increased sales of control devices for semi-conductor manufacturing equipment, and segment loss amounted to ¥157 million (compared with a loss of ¥196 million in the previous fiscal year) due to continuous prior investment for business growth in the medium and long term.

1. Overview of Financial Position for the Period Under Review (Assets)

Total assets at the end of the current fiscal year were ¥74,492 million, an increase of ¥11,276 million compared with ¥63,216 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly attributable to an increase of ¥3,115 million in notes and accounts receivable - trade and an increase of ¥8,547 million in merchandise and finished goods, despite a decrease of ¥1,693 million in non-current assets.

(Liabilities)

Liabilities at the end of the current fiscal year were ¥42,035 million, an increase of ¥9,190 million compared with ¥32,844 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly attributable to an increase of ¥4,852 million in notes and accounts payable - trade and an increase of ¥3,874 million in deposits received.

(Net assets)

Net assets at the end of the current fiscal year were ¥32,457 million, an increase of ¥2,085 million compared with ¥30,372 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly attributable to an increase of ¥1,282 million in retained earnings and an increase of ¥1,152 million in foreign currency translation adjustment due to the yen depreciation. Equity ratio changed to 43.3% from 47.8% at the end of the previous fiscal year.
