Overview of Operating Results (1) Report of Operating Results The Japanese economy in the first half of the FY06/2022, from July to December 2021, was in a tough spot from the effects of the new coronavirus infection, but the trend is picking up. Card shopping transaction volume of major credit card companies has also been higher than the previous year results since April 2021. The cashless payment ratio in Japan grew from 18.2% in 2018 to 29.7% in 2020*. The government aims to increase this ratio to around 40% by June 2025, and is currently pursuing policies to promote the introduction of cashless payments in mid-small merchants. Not only major financial institutions and credit card companies, but companies that provide financial and payment services to individuals and small and medium-sized businesses, as well as companies that provide system services to such companies, which so-called Fintech services are beginning to be popular. These changes in the business environment have become an opportunity for us. *https://www.meti.go.jp/shingikai/mono_info_service/cashless_payment/pdf/2021_001_04_00.pdf We aim to achieve “15 ALL” (Fifteen All) as a mid-term business goal, net sales of 15 billion yen and an operating income margin of 15% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Based on our strength, the system development business related to payment operations, we are enhancing our profitability by the growth of our cloud service business and expanding our business domain by providing IT infrastructure that contributes to “DX”, Digital Transformation, for customers in industries other than finance. Operating income for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 is planned to be 2.25 billion yen, almost double the result of the 1.13 billion yen achieved in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. In the cloud service business, which is the main driving force behind our mid-term business plan, orders have been growing on the active business negotiations with new customers. In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, we received 1 billion yen in new orders. During the second quarter of the current fiscal year, we received 1.87 billion yen in new orders, and the order backlog in the cloud service business increased significantly from 1.85 billion yen at the end of the previous fiscal year to 4.23 billion yen at the end of the current quarter. We are going to accumulate additional new orders in the second half of the current fiscal year. These orders will contribute to sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 (next fiscal year) and beyond, we plan to achieve sales of 2 billion yen in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and 2.5 billion yen in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. For the current fiscal year (ending June 30, 2022), we are forecasting to post sales of 1.13 billion yen, and for the first time since the business launch, we will post a profit for the full year. The business has been in the black since the first half of the current fiscal year, and the business has begun to generate revenue in a medium-term. The Company, which is responsible for developing and operating systems that provide indispensable functions for credit card payment, properly recognizes its social mission and promotes its business with improving the facilities and systems necessary to continue business. To prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection, we have taken measures such as assessing the health status of employees and staff, implementing telework and staggered working hours, and limiting domestic and international business trips. The financial results for the first half of this fiscal year have not been affected by new corona virus infection. For the first half of the current fiscal year, we recorded net sales of 4,887 million yen (down 6.9% year-on-year), operating income of 478 million yen (up 18.0% year-on-year), ordinary income of 499 million yen (up 18.7% year-on-year), and net income of 337 million yen (up 18.3% year-on-year). Net sales were lower than the previous fiscal year’s results. We recorded comparatively larger-sized sales of Hardware by the sale of a specific server in the previous fiscal year, but no similar-sized sales was booked in this quarter of the current fiscal year. Software development for new customers and sales of In-house products were increased and sales of other categories except for Hardware surpassed the previous year’s results, but the extensive decline in Hardware sales reduced net sales totally for the first half of the current – 4 – fiscal year. Operating income exceeded the results of the previous fiscal year. Operating income for the second quarter increased by 29.8% compared to the previous fiscal year (271 million yen for the previous fiscal year, 352 million yen for the current fiscal year), and the cumulative total for the first half increased by 18.0% (405 million yen for the previous fiscal year, 478 million yen for the current fiscal year). The cloud service business improved and turned profitable because of an increase in sales from the launch of services for new customers and a decrease in fixed costs and operation expenses. We posted a profit of 11 million yen for the first half, compared to a loss of 49 million yen in the previous fiscal year. The increase in sales of In-house products to new customers and the improved profitability of system development covered the decrease in profit due to the decline in Hardware sales, resulting in an increase in operating income for the first half of the current fiscal year. Our cloud service has become one of the most favorable options not only for existing financial enterprises but also for companies starting up their own card and payment businesses. As mentioned above, orders received increased significantly throughout the first half of the current fiscal year, totaling 2,876 million yen. This was due to orders from companies starting payment business and customers in the financial industry such as major credit card companies. In the second half of the current fiscal year, new orders are expected from companies except for the financial industry and credit card companies, and the cloud service business has begun to generate revenue in earnest. We engage the development of FEP (Front End Processing) system for our customers, credit card companies mainly, which includes functions such as network connection and card transaction authorization necessary to complete credit card payment processing. For example, when we develop a new FEP system for customers, we record sales from the sale of NET+1 (In-house product), which constitutes the core of the FEP system, sales from development work (System Development), in which our engineers customize the package to meet the functional requirements of the customer, sales from the sale of servers (Hardware), in which the developed software is installed, and sales from maintenance work (Maintenance) are recorded. Also, we engage the business of selling our products, which prevent internal information leakage in corporate organizations, and third-party products for cyber-security measures. Trends in sales by categories are as follows. (Chart 1) Sales by categories (Million yen) Category System Development Maintenance In-house products Cloud service Hardware Third-party products Security products Total 1st half of FY12/2020 1st half of FY12/2021 2,437 647 209 470 872 240 369 5,247 2,519 728 268 493 272 168 438 4,887 From this fiscal year, the category classification in (Chart 1) has been subdivided and categories have been redefined in operation. We have revised categories to show the classification of sales based on the so-called “stock” and “flow” type in more precise way than before. Judging from the type of contract and the actual status of the services, we have classified projects and contracts that can generate a certain amount of sales on a regular basis as “stock” and the rest of those as “flow”. Typical examples of “stock” type sales are fees for the use of systems and system operations related to the – 5 – cloud service business, or fees for maintenance service for our products or third-party products. Cloud service fees are categorized as “Own Services”. Typical “flow” type sales include fees for contracted development work and sales of the in-house products and third-party products. Results for this quarter are as follows. (Chart 2) Categories by Stock and Flow (Million yen) Category Ratio (%) Software Development In-house products System Service Third-party products Sum of “Flow” type sales Maintenance Maintenance for third-party products Own Services Other Services Sum of “Stock” type sales Total 1st half of FY12/2021 1,978 285 16 157 2,437 1,277 307 624 238 2,449 4,887 40.5 5.8 0.3 3.2 49.9 26.1 6.3 12.8 4.9 50.1 100.0 As mentioned above, the order backlog as of the end of the second quarter was 7,963 million yen, significantly higher than the previous result of the 5,688 million yen as of December 31, 2020 by the growth in orders in the cloud service business. There are no unprofitable projects in the system development business, and profitability is stable, we expect our business in the second half to proceed smoothly. There is no change in the full-year forecast. In addition, the new coronavirus infection is not expected to have a significant impact on the full-year results. On January 11, 2022, announced by the Tokyo Stock Exchange “Announcement of the Results of Market Segment Selection by Listed Companies”, our shares will be listed on the Prime Market from April 4, 2022. On December 8, 2021, we selected to be listed in the Prime Market and disclosed our “Plan to meet the Continued Listing Criteria for the New Market Segments”. As mentioned in the plan, the policies of the company are to work for the steady execution of “15 ALL”, our mid-term business plan, improving corporate governance and enhancing shareholder return. We are going to adapt ourselves to listing requirements for Prime market by these actions. (2) Report of Financial Position (Assets) The balance of assets at the end of the first half of this fiscal year decreased by 689 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 10,450 million yen. Current assets decreased by 779 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 6,196 million yen. This was mainly due to the decrease of 217 million yen in notes and accounts receivable and the decrease of 696 million yen in cash and deposits. Non-current assets increased 89 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 4,254 million yen. This was mainly due to the decrease of 105 million yen in investment securities and increase of 282 in intangible assets. (Liabilities) The balance of liabilities at the end of the first half of this fiscal year decreased by 476 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 3,096 million yen. This was mainly due to the decrease of 86 million yen in provision for bonuses and the decrease of 172 million yen in income tax payable. – 6 – (Net Assets) Net assets at the end of the first half of this fiscal year decreased 213 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 7,354 million yen. This was mainly due to the decrease of 139 million yen in retained earnings and decrease of 73 million yen in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities. (Report of Cash Flows) The balance of cash and deposits at the end of first half of the current fiscal year was ended in 3,610 million yen (3,741 million yen at the end of the previous fiscal year). (Cash flows from operating activities) Net cash provided by operating activities in the first half of the current fiscal year amounted to 297 million yen (net cash amounted in the previous fiscal year was 574 million yen). This was mainly attributable to the fact that income before taxes amounted to 499 million yen and depreciation amounted to 402 million yen, and notes and accounts receivable increased 142 million yen, and inventories increased 124 million yen by the production cost of system development works in progress. (Cash flows from investing activities) Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of the current fiscal year was 649 million yen (compared with 195 million yen used in the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to 561 million yen used for the purchase of intangible fixed assets by the development works of the software for sales purposes and the internal use. (Cash flows from financing activities) Net cash used in financing activities in the first half of the current fiscal year was 345 million yen (278 million yen used in the previous fiscal year). This was mainly due to cash dividends paid of 340 million yen.

(Adaption of unique accounting method for quarterly financial statements) For the first half of the current fiscal year (July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021), Not applicable. (Revision to the Accounting Policy) (Application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, etc.) The Company started applying the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (ASBJ Statement No. 29; March 31, 2020), etc. at the beginning of the first quarter of the current accounting period. When the ownership of goods or services has been transferred to a client as promised, we recognize the amount to be received in exchange for said goods or services as revenues. Some revenues for software development had been recognized at the time of acceptance inspection, but through the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, we started recognizing revenues for a certain period of time. For some maintenance contracts, etc., revenues had been recognized at a specific point in time in accordance with the contracts, but we started recognizing revenues for a certain period of time. For some revenues from sale of security products, the total amount of remunerations received from clients had been recognized as revenues, but for transactions in which our company serves as an agent for offering goods or services to clients, we recognize the net amount obtained by subtracting the expenses paid to suppliers, etc. from the total amount of remunerations received from clients as revenues. The application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, etc. follows the transitional handling specified in the proviso of Paragraph 84 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition. The cumulative effect of the retroactive application of the new accounting policy to the period before the first quarter of the current term is reflected in the retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of the current term, and the new accounting policy has been applied from the balance at the beginning of the current term. In addition, the method set forth in the proviso (1) of Paragraph 86 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition was applied, and the accounting process was carried out based on the conditions of the contracts updated before the first quarter of the current term, and the cumulative effect was reflected in the retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of the current term. As a result, the sales in the first half of the current term increased to 270,644 thousand yen, the cost of sales rose to 111,097 thousand yen, and the gross profit, operating income, and net income before taxes and other adjustments increased to 159,566 thousand yen each. In addition, the balance of retained earnings at the beginning of the current term decreased to 135,495 thousand yen. Since the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, etc. were applied, “Notes and accounts receivable” shown in the section of current assets in the balance sheet for the previous accounting year has been included in “Notes and accounts receivable, and contract assets” from the first quarter of the current accounting period. In accordance with the transitional handling set forth in Paragraph 89-2 of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition, the new indication method was not applied to the previous accounting year. Furthermore, in accordance with the transitional handling set forth in Paragraph 28-15 of the Accounting Standard for Quarterly Financial Reporting (ASBJ Statement No. 12; March 31, 2020), we did not write the breakdown of revenues from contracts with clients in the first half of the previous cumulative accounting period. (Additional information) There has been no significant change in the assumptions, including the future spread of the new coronavirus infection and the timing of its containment, described in the section (Additional information) of the Annual Securities Report for the previous fiscal year. – 12 – (Business Segment) The Business Segment information is omitted because the reportable segment is the single one.
