1. Qualitative information on financial results for the current quarter

1. Explanation of Operating Results
   The Japanese economy during the second quarter of the current consolidated cumulative period is still in a difficult situation due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and although it continues to pick up, the pace has weakened in a severe situation.
   As for the outlook, it is expected that the economy will pick up due to the effects of various policies and the improvement of overseas economies, while thorough infection control measures and vaccination are being promoted. However, close attention should be paid to the downside risk due to the impact through the supply chain.
   It is also necessary to keep an eye on the effects of domestic and international infectious disease trends and fluctuations in the financial and capital markets.
   Although the market environment for our Group remains harsh due to increasingly fierce competition, we are striving to strengthen competitiveness and improve profitability through added value to achieve further growth and create revenue bases by expanding our global business and new business.
   In the System Segment, we have made efforts to increase the added value of our flagship products, Electronic Article Surveillance Systems, CCTV camera systems and Access Control Systems. We are promoting sales for Cloud-based Wireless LAN Systems and remote access products related to teleworking and are developing new markets for Retail Solutions such as RFID Systems and labor saving systems, as well as Cloud-based services. We are expanding the Advanced Fire Protection System Business, which is operated in Thailand and the ASEAN region.
   In the Device Segment, we have promoted sales mainly in the telecom infrastructure area, industrial equipment market area centered on IoT, amusement market area and the automotive area in the Electronic Business. In the Industrial Systems Business, we have focused on sales of Mechanical Components for the industrial equipment market such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which is expected to continue to grow, and residential equipment in North America, the ASEAN region and China, and the development of the automobile interior components market in Japan and overseas.
   Under these circumstances, as for operating results in the second quarter of the current consolidated cumulative period, sales increased 3.3%YOY to 9,583 million yen due to promising large-scale projects such as CCTV camera systems and face recognition systems for the retail market and strong sales of mechanical parts for housing equipment in the United States.
   In terms of profit and loss, operating income increased by 97.2 percent YOY to 431 million yen. Ordinary income increased by 176.5 percent YOY to 490 million yen. Quarterly net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company increased by 447.8 percent YOY to 334 million yen.
   The Operating results of each Segment are as follows: (System Segment)

System Segment sales increased by 7.3 percent YOY to 5,704 million yen and operating income increased by 264.1 percent YOY to 239 million yen. For retail solution products, sales increased 20.4% YOY to 2,147 million yen due to large-scale projects such as CCTV camera systems and face recognition systems for retailers. For office solution products, sales decreased by 0.6 percent YOY to 1,460 million yen due to a decrease in sales of remote access products, which were strongly affected by the impact of COVID-19 last year, although the access control system for data centers performed well.

For Global Products, sales of Advanced Fire Protection Systems in Thailand slowed down due to the spread of COVID-19. For this reason, sales decreased by 1.7 percent YOY to 1,111 million yen. For service and support products, MSP services

1. performed well, and sales increased 5.9 percent YOY to 984 million yen. (* MSP service: managed service provider service)

(Device Segment)

Device Segment sales decreased by 2.0 percent YOY to 3,878 million yen and operating income increased by 25.6 percent YOY to 192 million yen. For Semiconductor products, although orders for electronic components such as those for semiconductor manufacturing equipment were strong, sales decreased 11.3 percent YOY to 1,849 million yen, due to the impact of the decline in sales for communication terminals and semiconductor shortages, which were strong last year. For Mechanical Component Products, sales increased 8.2 percent YOY to 2,029 million yen due to strong sales of soft-closed parts for housing equipment in the United States and communication cables for industrial equipment.

1. Explanation of Financial Position
   Total assets as of the end of the current consolidated fiscal year decreased by 532 million yen YOY to 18,941 million yen. This is because of an increase of 1,074 million yen in contract assets and 680 million yen in Merchandise and finished goods, and a decrease of 1,778 million yen in notes and accounts receivable and 613 million yen in cash and deposits. Liabilities decreased by 688 million yen YOY to 4,610 million yen. This was due to an increase of 829 million yen in contract liabilities, a decrease of 1,029 million yen in other current liabilities, and a decrease of 482 million yen in notes and accounts payable. Net assets increased by 155 million yen YOY to 14,330 million yen. This was due to an increase in retained earnings of 218 million yen due to quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent of 334 million yen and dividend payments of 115 million yen. The equity ratio increased by 2.9 points from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 75.6 percent. As described in (Changes in Accounting Policy) below, from the first quarter consolidated accounting period of the fiscal year ending March 2022, some of the notes and accounts receivable are contract assets and some of the other current liabilities are contract liabilities.
2. Explanation of the Future Outlook, including Forecast of Consolidated Operating Results
