3. Expected Consolidated Results for Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2018 (From April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018)

The Company Group has proactively adopted M&A as a diversification strategy and has also expanded its asset management business as one of its important segments. As these businesses tend to be significantly affected by changes in economic conditions and market environment, it is extremely difficult to properly forecast and disclose ordinary business results. As there is a risk of misleading investors, etc., in disclosing business results forecast under such circumstances, the Company has adopted a policy to make timely disclosure of closing business results and a summary of the business to be conducted on a quarterly basis, and not to disclose a forecast of consolidated business results.

1. Qualitative Information of the Current Quarterly Closing

(1) Explanation about Business Results

The Japanese economy in the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter continued along a moderate recovery track, partly due to the effects from various policies implemented by the central government. On the other hand, a sense of uncertainty remains about the future outlook due to uncertain overseas economic conditions and the impact from fluctuations in financial and capital markets.

Under such a business environment, sales of the Company Group for the Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter for the year ending March 31, 2018 were 3,486 million yen (3,989 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year), operating loss was 1,006 million yen (367 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year), ordinary loss was 295 million yen (550 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year), quarterly net profit attributable to owners of the parent was 1,903 million yen (quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent of 568 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

In this regard, in the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, in connection with The Prospect Japan Fund Limited (hereinafter referred to as "TPJF") becoming a subsidiary, we recorded profit on negative goodwill of 2,420 million yen in extraordinary profit.

Business performance by segment is as follows.

In addition, the name of the reported segment has been changed since the Consolidated 1st Quarter. The previously named "Solar Business" has been renamed the "Renewable Energy Business" due to the start of the biomass related business. There is no other impact on the segment information other than the name change.

[1] Real Estate Sales Business, Condominium Sales Business

We mainly sell condominiums for general customers in the metropolitan area.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, we executed new contracts for 77 housing units at 3,015 million yen (91 housing units at 2,974 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year) and delivered 24 housing units and recorded sales of 766 million yen and segment loss of 40 million yen (6 housing units for sales of 230 million yen and segment loss of 152 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

[2] Real Estate Sales Business, Land and Buildings

We focus our sales on residential land and detached homes as well as individual buildings, etc.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, no contracts or sales results were recorded (contracts of 173 million yen, sales of 299 million yen and segment profit of 30 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

[3] Real Estate Sales Business, Custom-Made Homes

We undertake contract construction and reform construction for detached homes, etc., mainly in Yamagata Prefecture as a business area.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, we executed new contracts for 21 buildings of 590 million yen (13 buildings of 417 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year) and delivered 11 buildings and recorded sales of 476 million yen and a segment loss of 55 million yen (9 buildings, sales of 419 million yen and segment loss of 66 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year) (including reforms, etc.).

[4] Asset Management Business

We conduct management business of real estate and securities, comprised of Japanese stocks.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, we recorded sales of 132 million yen and segment profit of 19 million yen (sales of 174 million yen and segment profit of 62 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

[5] Construction Business

We conduct propulsion construction and pre-stressed concrete (PC) construction, etc.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, we recorded sales of 1,798 million yen and segment loss of 5 million yen (sales of 2,699 million yen and segment profit of 70 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

[6] Renewable Energy Business

We conduct renewable energy business, the main revenue source of which is the sale of electricity generated by PV, etc.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, we recorded sales of 293 million yen and segment profit of 116 million yen (sales of 132 million yen and segment profit of 63 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

[7] Other

For others, mainly as real estate lease business, we lease condominiums, etc., owned by the Company to general customers.

In the Current Consolidated Cumulative 2nd Quarter, we recorded sales of 18 million yen and segment profit of 5 million yen (sales of 33 million yen and segment profit of 21 million yen in the same quarter in the previous year).

(2) Explanation about Financial Conditions

Total assets at the end of the Current Consolidated 2nd Quarter were 39,162 million yen, an increase of 11,794 million yen as compared with the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was due to an increase in cash and deposits and securities in connection with TPJF becoming a consolidated subsidiary, an increase in inventory assets in connection with the new purchase of land for the condominium sales business and the progress of projects, and an increase in tangible fixed assets related to capital investment in the renewable energy business, etc.

Liabilities at the end of the Current Consolidated 2nd Quarter were 15,316 million yen, an increase of 437 million yen as compared with the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was due to an increase in borrowings as a result of new financing of project funds in the condominium sales business and capital investment funds, etc., in the renewable energy business, etc.

Net assets at the end of the Current Consolidated 2nd Quarter were 23,845 million yen, an increase of 11,356 million yen as compared with the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was due to an increase in capital and capital surplus as a result of the issuance of new shares in connection with consolidation of TPJF, etc.

(3) Explanation about Future Forecast Information, including Forecast of Consolidated Business Results

With regard to the outlook for the future, improvement in the economic environment is expected due to the success of various economic policies. However, we must continue to keep a close eye on the uncertainty in overseas economic conditions and the impact from fluctuations in financial and capital markets.

Under such circumstances, the Company Group has proactively adopted M&A as a diversification strategy and has also expanded its asset management business as one of its important segments. As these businesses tend to be significantly affected by changes in economic conditions and market environment, it is extremely difficult to properly forecast and disclose ordinary business results. As there is a risk of misleading investors, etc., in disclosing business results forecast under such circumstances, the Company has adopted a policy to make timely disclosure of closing business results and a summary of the business to be conducted on a quarterly basis, and not to disclose a forecast of sales and a forecast of profits for the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2018.
