Recent Overview

Overlapping earnings correction and subsidiary merger cancellation caused disruption in both accounting and strategy

Regarding the financial results summary for FY2026 (ending March 2026) announced on May 15, 2026, an accounting error was discovered in the treatment of ¥110 million in dividends received from consolidated subsidiary moto Inc. (requiring partial reversal and a reduction in the book value of shares), leading to a correction on June 30, 2026. In the non-consolidated results, ordinary income was revised downward from ¥38 million to a loss of △¥31 million, and net income was revised from ¥25 million to a loss of △¥44 million. Additionally, the absorption-type merger with moto Inc., originally scheduled for June 30, 2026, was cancelled by a resolution of the Board of Directors on June 29, 2026. Information on major customers was also corrected, and Uzabase, Inc. was disclosed as a customer accounting for 10% or more of net sales in the fiscal year under review.

• Need to review resource concentration and efficiency plans following the cancellation of the absorption-type merger with consolidated subsidiary moto Inc. (resolved by the Board of Directors on June 29, 2026)
• Concerns regarding the reliability of internal control and accounting management systems following the earnings correction (accounting error in dividend treatment)
