Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. Composed of 7 directors (of which 2 are outside directors, an outside ratio of approximately 28.6%) and 3 corporate auditors (all outside). All directors attended all 13 Board of Directors meetings held during the fiscal year. No nomination committee or compensation committee has been established. A Compliance and Risk Management Committee meets once per quarter to strengthen governance.
Risk Management
The company has established the "Risk Management Regulations," and the Compliance & Risk Management Committee (comprising 18 members including directors, corporate auditors, and executive officers, meeting once per quarter) oversees overall risk management activities. Internal audits are conducted by the Corporate Planning & Administration Department, with results reported to the Representative Director, Chairman and CEO. The company has also established a cooperative framework with external experts such as lawyers and certified public accountants, striving to prevent risks in advance and detect them at an early stage.
Shareholder Returns
Dividends remain suspended (annual dividend of ¥0 for both FY2025 (ending October 2025) actual and FY2026 (ending October 2026) forecast). Meanwhile, in March 2026, based on a resolution of the Board of Directors, the company acquired 55,400 shares of treasury stock (¥124,322 thousand), implementing share buybacks as a means of shareholder returns.
Dividend Policy
As the company is in a growth phase, it prioritizes strengthening internal reserves for the time being, allocating funds to R&D, personnel recruitment, and new business investment. Going forward, the company plans to implement profit distribution while taking into account business performance and financial condition for each period, but at present the possibility and timing of dividend payments remain undecided. When dividends of surplus are paid, the basic policy is a single year-end dividend, with interim dividends also permitted under the articles of incorporation. The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending October 2026) is ¥0.
ESG
The Company positions human resource development as its most important ESG issue and continues to invest in the recruitment and development of AI/IT technology personnel. Its policy is to secure diverse talent regardless of gender, nationality, or age, and it has appointed one female department manager (since November 2022). It conducts monthly employee satisfaction surveys and has established internal support systems such as a book purchase program and qualification acquisition subsidies. Average monthly overtime is 6.7 hours. The Company recognizes its relevance to the SDGs "Good Health and Well-being," "Quality Education," "Decent Work and Economic Growth," and "Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure," and promotes the resolution of social issues through the use of AI. No numerical targets have been set for the ratio of female managers, which remains a future challenge.
