1. Qualitative information on financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021

(1) Overview of Operating Results

In the future, it is predicted that about 1 out of 2.5 citizens will be older than 65 in 2060, resulting in a world of super-aged society. In recent years, as a result of the spread of new corona viruses, it was found that Japanese digital transformation (hereinafter, "DX") is becoming increasingly behind the world. Therefore, in the stock market, there is a clear bipolarization between companies adaptive and evolving to DX and other companies. As a result, it is urgently necessary for surviving companies to respond to, transform, and invest in DX. In addition, it is also inevitable for local governments who are facing with the challenge of severe financial conditions and population decline and whose workloads are increasing despite the declining number of employees to improve operational efficiency through DX.

Under such circumstances, the Group (or simply, "we") has been developing businesses such as digitization of business models and business processes and support for the development of digital human resources in order to dramatically improve Japanese productivity with "People multiplied by Technology" and to make Japan a sustainable society with a decreasing population under the vision of "Change Productivity" under the mission of "Change People, Change Business, Change Japan". Since its inception, we have provided solutions to the digitization needs of many customers.

We have been achieving steady growth in sales and profit every year since the listing of our shares in September 2016. Specifically, we are developing and expanding our business in three areas: NEW-IT Transformation Business, which supports the development of digital human resources, innovations in business processes, and digitization; Investment Business, which is investing in businesses that are synergistic with NEW-IT Transformation Business, to be responsible for creating new businesses and building business models; and the Publitech Business, which is committed to promoting DX-based regional creation.

Operating results for the second quarter of the current fiscal year are as follows.

In NEW-IT Transformation Business, we pushed ahead with digitization projects for large corporations and government agencies, while also making steady progress, mainly in projects related to digital human resource development. In addition, in order to jointly implement digital human resource development with KDDI Corporation, we established a joint venture, named Digital Growth Academia Inc., and acquired beacapp, Inc., one of the fastest-growing companies in Japan as a beacon-related solution provider, and made it a subsidiary. In these ways, we are accelerating DX in Japan.

In the Publitech Business, revenues increased significantly due to factors such as an increase in the commission rate in the hometown tax payment platform business from April 2020. In addition, LoGo Chat and LoGo Form, which are SaaS businesses for local governments, have been steadily expanding with strong reputation among customers as they move to paid services from April 2021.

We also succeeded in raising 16,384 million yen to fund for growth by implementing equity financing in overseas markets with the purposes of accelerating business growth with "DX multiplied by Region" and "diversifying our shareholders and further improving corporate governance based on this and improving share liquidity in conjunction with an increase in the number of shares outstanding."

As a result, in the first six months of the current fiscal year, revenue was 10,262 million yen (up 79.7% year on year), operating profit was 5,319 million (up 88.9% year on year), profit before taxes was 5,264 million yen (up 88.3% year on year), and profit attributable to owners of parent was 3,467 million yen (up 165.0% year on year).

Segment operating results are as follows: (I)NEW-ITTransformation Business

In the NEW-IT Transformation Business, the Company pushed ahead with digitization projects for large corporations and government agencies, while also making steady progress, mainly in projects related to digital human resource development. In addition, in order to jointly implement digital human resource development with KDDI Corporation, we established a joint venture, named Digital Growth Academia Inc., and acquired beacapp, Inc who boasts one of the fastest-growing companies in Japan as a beacon-related solution provider, and made it a subsidiary. In these ways, we are accelerating DX in Japan.

Consequently, the NEW-IT Transformation Business recorded revenue of 1,110 million yen (up 0.9% year on year) and segment income of 354 million yen (up 33.7% year on year) for the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

(II)Investment Business

In the Investment Business, during the second quarter of the current fiscal year, share prices of our listed investees were firm.

As a result, in the second quarter of the current fiscal year, revenue in the Investment Business was 247 million yen (up 3908.5% year on year) and segment profit was 237 million yen (compared with a segment loss of 4 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year).

(III) Publitech Business

In the Publitech Business, revenues increased significantly due to factors such as an increase in the commission rate in the hometown tax payment platform business from April 2020. In addition, LoGo Chat and LoGo Form, which are SaaS businesses for local governments, have been steadily expanding with strong reputation among customers as they move to paid services from April 2021.

As a result, revenue in the Publitech Business for the second quarter of the current fiscal year was 8,904 million yen (up 93.4% year on year), and segment profit was 5,394 million yen (up 77.5% year on year).

2. 1. Assets, Liabilities, and Shareholder Equity (Assets)
      Current assets at the end of the second quarter of the current fiscal year were 30,754 million yen, an increase of 19,447 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase of 17,225 million yen in cash and cash equivalents. Non-current assets were 6,540 million yen, an increase of 752 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase of 650 million in goodwill due to the acquisition of beacapp Inc.
