1. Qualitative information regarding results for the first six-month period

1. Explanation of operating results
   In the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, the business environment affecting the residential housing related industry, to which the Company belongs, faced a continuing uncertain situation due to the fourth and fifth waves of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and their prolonged impact. The number of new housing starts has shown a gradual recovery trend although it fell short of the level before the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, an insufficient supply relative to demand has caused a sharp rise in prices, leading to weakness in the number of contracts signed for preowned condominiums and preowned houses. Regarding the outlook, against the backdrop of the lifting of the state of emergency, the increase in the percentage of the population that has been vaccinated and other factors, the number of new housing starts and the number of contracts signed for preowned condominiums and preowned houses will be expected to approach the levels before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, because there have been impacts due to customers forgoing purchases caused by the steep rise in prices for some properties, postponements in handovers caused by shortages or delays related to housing fixtures and appliances, etc., it is necessary to continue closely monitoring the situation.
   Given this situation, based on the Mid-term Strategic Plan 2021, a five-year plan that started in this fiscal year, the Company promotes active efforts to improve corporate value. In the housing loan business, by reaching large real estate companies in cooperation with franchise stores while promoting regional-based marketing, such as by providing thorough and responsive support to franchise stores through regional branches, the number of loan originations (including refinancing) for the Company in the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 decreased moderately by 8.3% year on year amid a decline of 12.1% year on year in the number of loan originations in the Flat 35 market overall. In addition, the purchase and resale business for residential real estate operated by ARUHI Real Estate Technologies Corporation has been performing well, recording its first sales in this interim period.
   As a result, operating revenue for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 was ¥13,037 million, a decrease of 1.8% year on year. The reason for this result is that although loan execution operations saw a 5.4% decrease year on year and financing operations saw an 11.0% decrease year on year due to the drop in the number of loan originations, loan management and collection operations and insurance-related operations, which are stock-type revenue related to housing loans executed in the past, showed solid growth, increasing 14.8% and 25.6%, respectively. Due to an increase in strategic expenses such as advertising expenses, income before tax decreased 16.5% year on year to ¥3,322 million. Net income decreased 15.3% year on year to ¥2,286 million, and net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased 15.0% year on year to ¥2,293 million.
   As the Company operates within the single segment of housing loan related business, a presentation by segment is omitted.
2. Explanation of financial position (Assets)
   As of September 30, 2021, assets were ¥152,146 million, a decrease of ¥12,615 million compared with March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to cash and cash equivalents decreasing ¥6,363 million, and operating loans receivable decreasing ¥8,083 million.
   (Liabilities)
   As of September 30, 2021, liabilities were ¥121,189 million, a decrease of ¥13,478 million compared with March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to deposits received decreasing ¥5,994 million and borrowings decreasing ¥8,096 million.
   (Equity)
   As of September 30, 2021, equity was ¥30,957 million, an increase of ¥863 million compared with March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to the recording of net income of ¥2,286 million, despite dividends of surplus of ¥1,065 million.
3. Explanation of consolidated earnings forecasts and other forward-looking statements
   There is no revision to the consolidated earnings forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 announced on "Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021 (under IFRS)" released on May 11, 2021.
