1. Quarterly Qualitative Information

(1) Business Results

During the first three months of the consolidated fiscal period ending September 30, 2021, the Japanese economy and the business environment remained challenging due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there are some signs of a pickup, we must pay close attention to the impact of infection trends on the economy in and outside Japan and fluctuations in the financial and capital markets, etc.

In the real estate industry to which the Group belongs, in addition to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, land costs in cities and construction costs remain elevated. Although these and other factors are causes for concern, the interest rates on housing loans remain low while the Japanese government's ongoing measures to help homebuyers, such as a mortgage tax breaks, are still on track, contributing to a stable economy. The demand for condominiums in the center of cities, which is our main supply area, was solid as more people or households tended to move seeking the convenience of urban living.

In these business circumstances, Pressance Corporation Co, Ltd. (the "Company") has focused on supplying condominiums in selected places in the central part of major cities in the Kinki, Tokai/Chukyo, and Tokyo metropolitan areas, and other core regions including Okinawa, which are our major sales areas.

Under such business conditions, the Company posted the following consolidated performance for the first three months of the fiscal period ending September 30, 2021. Net sales amounted to 53,973 million yen (down 18.1% year on year), operating profit amounted to 8,642 million yen (down 27.4% year on year), ordinary profits amounted to 8,473 million yen (down 29.2% year on year) and profit attributable to owners of parent amounted to 5,328 million yen (down 34.9% year on year).

An overview of operating results by business segment is as follows:

Real Estate Sale Business

In the real estate sales business, Pressance Loger Shin-Umeda (84 units), a family-type condominium in the Pressance Loger series, and Pressance THE KYOTO SUITO (128 units), a Pressance series studio condominium, have performed favorably.

However, as economic activities remain constrained by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our sales activities are also affected. In addition, although this is in line with our plan, sales of family-type condominiums have decreased significantly due to the small number of completed properties.

The sales of studio condominiums amounted to 28,220 million yen (1,675 units), sales of family-type condominiums amounted to 17,278 million yen (458 units), sales of hotel properties amounted to 4,250 million yen (180 units), sales of other types of housing amounted to 1,960 million yen (99 units), and business accompanying real estate sales amounted to 340 million yen. Total sales of the real estate sales business posted 52,050 million yen (down 18.3% year on year) and segment profit amounted to 8,530 million yen (down 26.4% year on year).

Since sales from the condominium business, our main business, are recorded on a delivery basis that is later than completion, there may be fluctuation in the quarterly sales results depending on the timing of land acquisition, development plans and/or construction schedules.

Other Business

With a decrease in rent revenue related to rent guarantees, the sales of Other business amounted to 1,922 million yen (down 11.9% year on year), and segment profit amounted to 423 million yen (down 37.3% year on year).

As stated in the "Notice Regarding Changes in Fiscal Year (Fiscal year-end)" disclosed on May 14, 2021, following the approval of "Partial Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation" at the 24th Ordinary General

Meeting of Shareholders held on June 25, 2021, we have changed the fiscal year-end from March 31 to September 30. For this reason, the 25th fiscal period, which is the transitional period for changing the fiscal year, covers 6 months from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021.

(2) Financial Position

Current Assets

Total current assets as of the end of the first three months of the fiscal period amounted to 236,302 million yen (down 5.1%), which represents a decrease of 12,737 million yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in inventory of 14,620 million yen.

1

Non-current Assets

Total non-current assets as of the end of the first three months of the fiscal period amounted to 16,905 million yen (down 14.3%), which represents a decrease of 2,816 million yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This was due mainly to a decrease in real estate for rent by 1,546 million yen following the transfer of self- owned real estate to inventory and a decrease in loans receivable from subsidiaries and associates by 762 million yen.

Liabilities

Total liabilities as of the end of the first three months of the fiscal period amounted to 108,779 million yen (down 15.4%), which represents a decrease of 19,850 million yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 7,835 million yen decrease in loans payable to financial institutions, a 5,889 million yen decrease in electronically recorded obligations-operating due to an increase in settlements, and a 4,029 million yen decrease in income taxes payable due to the payment of income taxes.

Net Assets

Total net assets as of the end of the first three months of the fiscal period amounted to 144,428 million yen (up 3.1%), which represents an increase of 4,296 million yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. This was principally due to the increase in retained earnings of 4,235 million yen because of the posting of profit attributable to owners of parent of 5,328 million yen, which offset the cash dividends paid of 1,092 million yen.

Analysis on Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the first three months of the fiscal period ending September 30, 2021, totaled 88,799 million yen (up 1.2%), which represents an increase of 1,090 million yen compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

The status and factors in each cash flow for the first three months of the fiscal period ending September 30, 2021, are as follows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities came to 10,574 million yen (Compared with 15,857 million yen provided in the first three months of the previous fiscal year).

This was mainly due to cash inflow resulting from a decrease in inventories by 16,273 million yen following the delivery of condominiums and the posting of 8,473 million yen in profit before income taxes, while there were cash outflows as a result of a payment of income tax of 6,620 million yen, a decrease in notes and accounts payable-trade by 6,144 million yen reflecting an increase in the settlement of electronically recorded obligations- operating, and other factors.

Cash Flows from Investment Activities

Net cash used in investment activities came to 567 million yen (Compared with 90 million yen used in the first three months of the previous fiscal year).

This was principally due to cash outflows resulting from the acquisition of non-current assets of 322 million yen and loans to subsidiaries and associates of 262 million yen.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities came to 8,917 million yen (Compared with 11,776 million yen used in the first three months of the previous fiscal year).

This was due mainly to cash outflows resulting from the net decrease in loans payable to financial institutions by 7,835 million yen and the dividend payment of 1,081 million yen.

1. Explanation for the Forecast of Consolidated Financial Results ending September 30, 2021
   Condominium sales, our major business, have a tendency to excessively skew or cause unevenness in specific quarterly results due to the timing of the delivery of condominiums, because condominium sales are to be posted on the basis of delivery of the condominium units. Our business results in the first three months of the fiscal period ending September 30, 2021 have been making sound progress, and there is no change in our forecasts of consolidated financial results released on May 14, 2021 for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2021.
