Annual Report for the 156th Business Term April 1, 2016 March 31, 2017

Message from the CEO To our shareholders: Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support. I hope you have had a healthy and prosperous year. The domestic stock market has seen erratic ups and downs since the beginning of the year due to currency exchange rate fluctuations and increased interest rates in the US. After that, Great Britain leaving the EU caused it to drop to its historic lows, but following the inauguration of Donald Trump s cabinet it started to recover on hopes of economic growth. While geopolitical risks are still present, the domestic economy maintains slow but stable growth, and it is expected that growth ratios and ROE of domestic listed companies shall keep improving. Having said that, since the segment we target for our investments, namely emerging companies with market capitalization of less than 1.5 billion JPY and listed small- to medium-sized businesses, is still experiencing financing difficulties, the financial and growth support we provide continues to play an important role. We shall continue to contribute to society through helping businesses to increase their corporate value. We want to be an investment bank that keeps growing, and we shall continue to reinforce our business investments division to improve the stability of profit generation while we keep innovating to further increase profitability. We shall persist to further increase our corporate value and our value to shareholders through reinforcing growth capability, profitability and stability by expanding our business. I hope we can continue to enjoy your support and patronage in the future. June 2017 Hiroyasu Takei Representative Director, Chairman and CEO 1

Growth strategy: We aim to capture the future trends of financial markets and to be an investment bank that continues growing even in a volatile business environment.

Therefore, there is no comparison data with those of the previous consolidated fiscal year. Point Gross profit: During this term, we have provided support to our investment recipients by proposing growth strategies that aim to revitalize the business and foster innovation, offering advice on mergers and acquisitions, supporting IR initiatives and through other means. We were able to successfully drive the corporate value of our recipient companies up, and as a result both our sales and profits have exceeded the previous year s figures. However, due in part to stock market fluctuations, our investment yields were lower than last year, with capital gains of 1.873 billion JPY and ROI of 27.2%. Point Cash flows from operating activities: Our cash flows from operating activities show cash inflow of 3.372 billion JPY. The main reasons for that are booking of income before taxes and minority interests as well as improved pace of collecting on our investments. Annual Report for the 156th Business Term 8
