Notice of Difference between Financial Forecast and Actual Results １．Difference between forecast and actual results for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2022 （May 1, 2021 – April 30, 2022） Net sales Operating Ordinary Profit Profit Net Income Earnings per share Previous ForecastJPY millions JPY millions JPY millions JPY millions JPY yen （Ａ） Actual results（Ｂ） 1,700 1,482 100 34 90 87 63 49 Forecast difference （Ｂ－Ａ） Percentage change（ ％ ） (Reference) FY04/2021 Results △217 △65 △2 △13 △12.8% △65.2% △2.5% △21.6% 1,556 294 285 207 13.85 4.19 3.29 ２．Reasons for differences between the forecast and actual results Net sales fell short of the previous forecast, mainly due to delays in our recruiting plan and acquiring initial setup fees in AI（BtoB）services. In addition, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net income also fell short of the previously announced forecasts, because of a decrease in net sales, and an increase in human resources related expenses, since we focused on recruiting activities in the process of changing our organizational structure. However, the percentage change in ordinary profit and net income was smaller than that in operating profit. This is mainly due to the dividend income related to our affiliate, VarioSecure Inc.
