1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Consolidated Financial Performance

(1) Explanation of Results of Operations

In the first half of 2020, the global spread of COVID-19 had a severe impact on consumer spending and economic activity in Japan. Due to this pandemic, the outlook for the Japanese and global economies is becoming increasingly uncertain.

In Japan's retail industry, there was a big downturn in consumer spending as people were asked to stay home unless absolutely necessary and commercial facilities and other stores reduced hours or temporarily closed because of COVID-19. Consumer spending may decline even more because the inability to predict the end of this crisis is likely to make consumer sentiment even more negative. Consequently, the current slump in consumption may continue for a long time. This crisis is significantly altering the structure of composition. Consumer spending that involves visiting stores and other outings has declined and events attended by large numbers of peop le are impossible. These activities are being replaced by "stay-at-home consumption" and other new consumption patterns. The retail industry must therefore determine the best ways to adapt to this shift in the structure of consumer spending.

In the mail-order business, improvements are steadily emerging in the first half due to the benefits of business structural reforms based on the current medium-term management plan. For example, substantial investments for activities to attract customers have been successful and constant operational reforms have increased the gross profit margin. This business also benefited from new categories of demand linked with the need for people to stay home. The result was higher sales and earnings in the mail -order business. In the bridal business, sales fell sharply because of the enormous change in the business climate caused by increasing concerns about COVID -19. A large number of weddings and receptions scheduled for the second quarter of 2020 were postponed.

Net sales in the first half of 2020 were down 3.8% year-over-year to 42,226 million yen. There was an operating loss of 563 million yen compared with an operating profit of 559 million yen in the first half of 2019. Ordinary loss was 2,898 million yen compared with a profit of 1,120 million yen one year earlier due to the share of loss of entities accounted for using the equity method. The loss attributable to owners of parent was 3,000 million yen compared with a profit of 7,900 million yen in the first half of 2019, when a gain on sales of non-current assets, a gain on sales of investment securities and other items were recorded as extraordinary income. Due to this downturn in sales and earnings, all directors and members of the Audit & Supervisory Board have stated the ir intention of voluntarily returning part of their officer remuneration for a period of three months.

Business segment performance was as follows.

(Mail-order Business)

Consolidated sales in the mail-order business, which is primarily the catalog and the Internet businesses, increased 11.8% year-over-year to 34,650 million yen in the first half. There was an operating profit of 1,215 million yen compared with a profit of 32 million yen in the first half of 2019.

In the first half of 2020, there were many activities to rebuild the customer base, such as by contacting customers who have not made a purchase for a certain length of time. These activities succeeded at stopping the decline in the number of customers in the core Belle Maison business and attracting more customers. Several other factors also contributed to the improvement in first half performance. Operational reforms reduced expenses and produced other benefits and there was more consumer spending involving the need to stay home because of COVID-19. In addition, sales of furniture and household products associated with remote work increased as the merchandise lineup was optimized from the standpoint of customers in order to meet this new category of demand . The result was sales and earnings that were much higher than one year earlier.

(Bridal Business)

Consolidated sales in the bridal business, centered on the house wedding business, decreased 59.2% year-over-year to 3,902 million yen. There was an operating loss of 2,142 million yen compared with a profit of

301 million yen in the first half of 2019.

The big downturns in sales and earnings were caused by the severe impacts of wedding and reception postponements and the suspension of most sales activities because of COVID-19. The bridal business will focus on measures to cut costs for the time being because the effects of this crisis will probably continue until the pandemic comes to an end. Furthermore, to improve the performance of this business, there will also be activities such as rigorous cleaning of wedding and reception facilities and measures to meet new needs of couples in order to continue operating during the COVID-19 crisis.

(Corporates Business)

Consolidated sales in the corporates business, which provides products and services to corporations, increased 14.1% year-over-year to 2,537 million yen. Operating profit increased 49.8% to 251 million yen.

During the first half, this business focused on adding new customers and increasing sales to current customers. This resulted in acquisition of new customers in novelties business and higher sales in the sampling business, which provides services such as attaching direct mail marketing messages to packages used to deliver products, making a big contribution to the sales growth of this business.

(Insurance and Credit Card Business)

This business provides information mainly to Belle Maison members about insurance policies and about credit cards with the best reward points. Consolidated sales decreased 27.0% year-over-year to 200 million yen and operating profit decreased 35.9% to 93 million yen.

In the insurance business, we reviewed our channels for sales activities and started using new sales methods during the first half, such as coordination with the bridal business and activities targeting families raising children. However, sales and earnings decreased because we did not conduct sales activities due to COVID-19. Sales activities gradually restarted after the state of emergency was lifted, but the number of new customers will probably decrease due to the inability to conduct face -to-face consultations, hold insurance seminars and use other sales activities with direct customer contact until this crisis ends.

(Others)

Consolidated sales in other businesses, which include childcare support business and manufacturing and sales of cosmetics, increased 10.1% year-over-year to 935 million yen. There was an operating profit of 16 million yen compared with a loss of 88 million yen in the first half of 2019.

In the childcare support business, the two nursery schools that opened in April 2019 as well as the after school child care business, which was started as a peripheral business for more added value, are all performing well.

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

(Balance sheet position)

Assets totaled 71,442 million yen at the end of the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 2,221 million yen from the end of 2019.

Current assets increased 746 million yen to 43,040 million yen. The main factor was an increase of 2,957 million yen in cash and deposits, while there were decreases of 1,264 million yen in merchandise and finished goods, 386 million yen in accounts receivable-other, and 354 million yen in other. Non-current assets decreased 2,967 million yen to 28,402 million yen. The factors included decreases of 531 million yen in property, plant and equipment and 2,743 million yen in investments and other assets, while there was an increase of 306 million yen in intangible assets.

Current liabilities increased 427 million yen to 20,522 million yen. The main factor was an increase of 2,965 million yen in short-term borrowings, while there was a decrease of 2,516 million yen in other. Non-current

liabilities increased 676 million yen to 11,755 million yen. The main factor was an increase of 806 million yen in long-term borrowings.

Net assets decreased 3,326 million yen to 39,164 million yen mainly due to booking of loss attributable to owners of parent of 3,000 million yen. As a result, the equity ratio was 54.8%.

(Cash flow position)

The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2020 was 25,671 million yen, an increase of 2,957 million yen from the end of 2019.

Operating activities provided net cash of 113 million yen (net cash provided of 1,443 million yen in the same period of 2019). The main cash inflows were share of loss (profit) of entities accounted for using equity method of 2,369 million yen and a decrease in inventories of 1,216 million yen. The main cash outflows include loss before income taxes of 2,946 million yen.

Investing activities used net cash of 681 million yen (net cash provided of 8,991 million yen in the same period of 2019). The main cash outflows include 548 million yen for the purchase of intangible assets.

Financing activities provided net cash of 3,533 million yen (net cash used of 5,228 million yen in the same period of 2019). The main cash inflows were net increase in short-term borrowings of 3,000 million yen and proceeds of 1,450 million yen from long-term borrowings The main cash outflows include 677 million yen for the repayments of long-term borrowings.

(3) Explanation of Consolidated Forecasts and Other Forward-looking Statements

The outlook remains uncertain because there are still no signs of an end to the COVID -19 pandemic. This crisis is having a severe impact on the bridal business. A large number of weddings and receptions scheduled for the second quarter of 2020 were postponed to the second half of 2020 or 2021. In addition, the bridal business has reduced operating hours or temporarily closed some locations. Sales activities in this business resumed after the nationwide state of emergency in Japan was lifted on May 25. However, the forecast for 2020 remains undecided because the duration of the pandemic is still unknown and it is impossible to determine a reliable estimate of the impact of this crisis on the performance of the bridal business. We will monitor upcoming events involving COVID-19 and make an announcement when it becomes possible to determine a revised forecast for 2020.

(Calculation of tax expense)

Tax expenses are calculated by first determining a reasonable estimate of the effective tax rate after the application of tax effect accounting with respect to profit before income taxes for the fiscal year that includes the applicable quarter and multiplying the profit before income taxes for that quarter by that rate. However, Senshukai uses legally stipulated effective tax rates to calculate tax expenses when the use of estimated tax rates produces a clearly irrational result.

(Additional Information)

(Uncertainty of accounting estimates)

The bridal business has reduced operating hours or temporarily closed some locations in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in accordance with requests to stay home and other provisions of the declaration of the state of emergency of the Japanese government and in response to the increasing number of COVID-19 infections in Japan. Although the bridal business resumed sales activities following the lifting of the state of emergency on May 25, the level of activity in this business is unlikely to return to the pre -crisis level soon.

Based on information that is currently available and other factors, the Senshukai Group is using the assumption that the COVID-19 crisis will continue to affect business operations until the end of 2020 for the determination of accounting estimates for the impairment of non-current assets, the recoverability of deferred tax assets and other items.

(Significant Subsequent Events)

(Purchase and cancellation of Class A preferred stock and Class B preferred stock)

On July 30, 2020, the Senshukai Board of Directors approved a resolution to purchase Senshukai Class A and Class B preferred stock and, assuming the stock is purchased, cancel this stock in accordance with Article 17 8 of the Companies Act. All shares of these two classes of preferred stock were purchased and canceled on July 31, 2020.

1. Reason for purchase and cancellation

In March 2018, Senshukai started to receive substantial assistance for rebuilding business operations from an investment fund for the revitalization of core regional companies that is managed by REVIC Partners Co., Ltd. as the unlimited liability partner. Assistance included 1) financial support by purchasing the Class A and Class B preferred stock, 2) support by providing personnel to Senshukai, and 3) support involving the determination of strategies. There has been steady progress since then in accordance with a medium -term management plan established by Senshukai. Due to these activities, Senshukai became profitable on a consolidated basis in 2019, which was earlier than initially planned. In 2020, the first half operating loss was held to 563 million yen despite the big downturn in the performance of the bridal business because of COVID -19. Performance was supported by a large increase in the sales and earnings of the mail-order business resulting from structural reforms. Based on the belief that significant progress has been made with rebuilding business operations, management made the decision to purchase and cancel the Class A and Class B preferred stock. One reason is to make decisions faster and increase the flexibility of equity policies in order to advance to a new stage of growth. Purchasing this stock will also eliminate the need to pay Class A preferred stock dividends. Senshukai and REVIC Partners t herefore agreed that the purchase and cancelation of the preferred stock would be the best course of action for Senshukai.

2. Summary of the purchase

1. Type of shares to be purchased: Class A preferred stock and Class B preferred stock
2. Total number of shares to be purchased and acquisition cost

Five shares of Class A preferred stock; 523,342,466 yen per share (total of 2,616,712,330 yen)

Nine shares of Class B preferred stock; 598,775,479 yen per share (total of 5,388,979,311 yen)

1. Date of purchase: July 31, 2020
2. Seller: Regional Economy Vitalization Corporation of Japan (REVIC)

3. Summary of the cancelation

1. Type of shares and total number of shares to be cancelled Five shares of Class A preferred stock
   Nine shares of Class B preferred stock
2. Date of cancelation: July 31, 2020

Important Information about Going Concern Assumption

In 2019, there was an operating profit of 772 million yen and a profit attributable to owners of parent of 8,182 million yen. In 2017 and 2018, there was an operating loss and a loss attributable to owners of parent. These losses create significant doubts about the going concern assumption.

To eliminate these doubts and deal with other issues, business structural reforms centered on the mail -order business are under way in accordance with a medium-term management plan that started in 2019 and will end in 2021.

In 2019, the first year of this plan, activities were focused on achieving the optimal size of business operations and on operational reforms, mainly in the mail-order business. These activities improved the gross profit margin by reducing merchandise valuation losses that have been a structural component of business operations. Reforms have also lowered fixed expenses. Due to these improvements, the consolidated operating profit in 2019 was higher than our forecast.

In 2020, the second year of the plan, we are continuing to implement operational reforms. We are also strengthening the catalog-based model for attracting customers and rebuilding the membership base. In the first half of 2020, the number of customers making purchases in the core Belle Maison business was higher than one year earlier, indicating that the downturn in this number has ended.

We will continue to implement numerous measures to make improvements in order to build a solid base for earnings and return to growth backed by a recovery and stability in the performance of the Senshukai Group.

At the end of the second quarter of 2020, cash and deposits were 25,671 million yen. Senshukai also has a committed credit line with the total amount of 10 billion yen with financial institutions (7 billion yen was unused at the end of the second quarter of 2020). Consequently, we believe there are no concerns about liquidity because we have a sufficient amount of working capital.

For these reasons, we believe there are no significant uncertainties regarding the going concern assumptio n.

In 2020, we expect lower sales and earnings mainly because of a smaller number of weddings and receptions in the bridal business due to COVID-19. However, a large number of these events have been postponed to the second half of 2020 or 2021, demonstrating that there will continue to be demand for weddings and receptions. As a result, we believe that the performance of the bridal business will improve when the COVID -19 crisis comes to an end. During the COVID-19 crisis, we will take actions for reducing selling, general and administrative expenses and using these expenses more efficiently. In addition, we will continue to monitor upcoming events involving this crisis and take actions that comply with the requests of the Japanese government and local govern ments. We are making preparations for growth, such as by reexamining the strategy for the bridal business and studying the feasibility of starting new services in this business, following the end of the COVID -19 crisis.
