Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (transitioned to this structure in December 2022). The Board of Directors consists of 5 members (3 outside directors, 60% outside ratio) and meets 17 times per year. All 3 Audit and Supervisory Committee members are outside directors (2 certified public accountants and 1 attorney). No Nomination Committee or Compensation Committee has been established. The company maintains a Risk and Compliance Committee and an Internal Audit Office (2 members) reporting directly to the Audit and Supervisory Committee.
Risk Management
The company has established a Risk & Compliance Committee headed by the President and Representative Director, providing integrated management of compliance, information security, insider trading prevention, and related matters. A reporting system has been put in place under which risk information from department heads is reported to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Supervisory Committee, with the General Affairs Department responsible for cross-organizational risk monitoring. In the event of an emergency, a task force is established, and a framework for cooperation with external specialized institutions has been defined. The Internal Audit Office periodically audits the status of risk management and reports its findings to the Audit and Supervisory Committee.
Shareholder Returns
The interim dividend for FY2026 (ending September 2026) is no dividend (¥0), and the year-end dividend forecast is also ¥0, resulting in an expected annual dividend of ¥0. The prior period (FY2025, ended September 2025) was also dividend-free for the full year. The policy of prioritizing the strengthening of the financial base remains unchanged. No share buyback implementation has been recorded.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay a year-end dividend once per year in principle, but for FY2026 (ending September 2026) as well, both the interim and year-end dividends are planned to be ¥0. The prior period (FY2025, ended September 2025) was also dividend-free for the full year. There is no change to the earnings forecast announced on November 14, 2025. The Articles of Incorporation stipulate that an interim dividend may be implemented by resolution of the Board of Directors (record date March 31), but no dividend was paid for the current interim period either.
ESG
Sustainability-related risks and opportunities are managed integrally with business risks through the Risk and Compliance Committee. In terms of human capital, the company has introduced a flextime system and a stock option program to secure and develop diverse talent. However, quantitative ESG indicators and targets have not yet been set, and the company is currently considering whether to establish them going forward. The number of employees is 31 (average age 45 years 9 months, average annual salary ¥5,087 thousand). No specific disclosures related to climate change are provided.
