Qualitative Information and Financial Statements
(1) Analysis of Results
Results at the End of the Fiscal Year Ended March 2008
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (fiscal year 2008), corporate earnings in Japan improved. In general the Japanese economy experienced slow growth in the first half year, but growth was suspended in the second half of the year due to fluctuations in the stock and foreign exchange markets and other factors as a result of the sudden rise in the price of crude oil and the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis. Consumer activity mirrored these trends. Overseas, economic recovery in the U.S. has slowed, and the economic recovery in Europe has moderated somewhat, although China and the rest of the Asian economy continues to grow.
Domestically, the early spring low temperatures, prolonged rainy season and the record high temperatures recorded across the country affected industry overall, and business results have been sluggish across many industries, including department stores and mass merchandisers. Results in the women’s fashion and clothing industry have also been slow.
In this environment, our group (primarily Wacoal Corporation, which is the core operating entity in our group) sought to improve the strength of its products and endeavored to develop products focused on consumer needs.
In the spring, the Wacoal brand business department of Wacoal Corporation launched LALAN, our new campaign brassiere, which showed a favorable sales performance. LALAN has a unique design tailored to meet the needs of women of all bust sizes, and we believe that the new style advertising, which differs from traditional promotions and their focus on functionality, has reached new consumers beyond our existing customer base. Additionally, the switch in our strategy from seasonal campaigns that promote new products to increasing the number and variety of LALAN products every season has extended the sales period for the campaign products as well as improved sales and the stock clearance rate. The autumn/winter season sales ofSugoi, our newly developed line of lingerie that uses new materials, largely exceeded our expectations. This was because the product’s characteristics of being thinner, lighter and warmer than past products were widely accepted by customers, and the product name, which gives the impression of a product that surpasses existing products in terms of image and functionality, has received extensive media coverage. On the other hand, the sales of products from our brand category Style Science, which was introduced two years ago with new features for the lower body, was far below the amount sold in the previous fiscal year. Our research shows that this was due to the fact that two years have passed since the release of the original Hip Walker, and in-store promotions have decreased. In addition, there has been a failure to capture new customers, and our attempts to encourage existing customers to buy replacement products has been ineffective. Due to the poor sales performance of our Style Science series products, the overall sales of our Wacoal brand business department were below the results of the previous fiscal year.
Similarly, in our Wing brand business department, our core brassieres—particularly our standard products—have performed well, as have girdles, body-suits and lingerie. On the other hand, sales of our Style Up Pants from our Style Science series declined. Nevertheless, a Style Science product for men, the Cross-Walker was developed and officially went on sale in department stores under the DAMS brand name in February 2008, and in chain stores under the BROS brand name in April 2008. There has been an extremely good consumer reaction to both products, and we expect this to expand in the future. As a result, the overall business results in our Wing brand business department achieved a sales level in line with that of the previous fiscal year.
With special health checks and guidance aimed at preventing metabolic syndrome, which were introduced from April 2008 as a backdrop, we began selling Exwalker Style Science products at various locations, including gyms and corporate health insurance associations in January of this year. Although it is disappointing that the core lines of the Style Science series products aimed at women did not sell well during fiscal year 2007, we believe that there are still good opportunities to capture new customers and encourage existing customers to continue purchasing these products by expanding our marketing channels and range of target customers and renewing our promotional strategies.
Our specialty retail store business consists of Une Nana Cool, an independently operated affiliate, and the brands, Amphi, SUBITO and Sur La Plage. Our factory outlet stores, known as Wacoal Factory Stores, operated as Wacoal Corporation’s direct retail stores. Une Nana Cool’s new and existing stores, as well as LuncH, a new type of store concentrating on lingerie, are all performing well and have posted final fiscal year profit and loss figures in the black for the first time. Efforts to increase and improve earnings and refrain from opening new stores have helped improve results for direct retail stores.
Sales of outerwear, our core products in our mail-order business catalogs, have been poor, but shoes and miscellaneous items have generally performed well with varying performance depending on the type or product. Sales from pamphlets placed in newspapers and from our online store have been favorable. Continuing from the previous period, we have improved our net results by revising our media costs and improving our inventory.
As for our wellness business, net sales of our sports conditioning wear CW-X, our core sports related product, were down as a result of delivery adjustments for inventory regulation purposes and product returns from stores. There was growth in the sales of leg-related products associated with entry into a new type of business. However, overall sales were lower than the previous fiscal year due to the negative effects of weather on the performance of wet weather footwear and a reduction in department store sales of leggings.
Sales of our semi-order innerwear business, Dublevé, were in line with those of the previous fiscal year due to a failure to sufficiently capture new customers and a decrease in the average purchase price per customer.
Sales have been increasing in the U.S. over the last few years due to an increased demand for luxury items and increased transactions with mid-level department stores that have not historically sold Wacoal products but that are repositioning themselves as up-scale department
3
stores. However, decreased consumer confidence caused by the rapid deceleration of the U.S. economy, has led to sluggish store sales, and other factors, such as inventory adjustments, have also had an effect, leading to sales levels that are up only slightly over the previous fiscal year. Earnings were down significantly due to decreased profitability and an increase in personnel costs brought on by an increase in the number of sales staff in connection with new store openings, as well as increases in other costs.
In Asia, Wacoal’s business in China continues to grow. In addition to the expansion of Wacoal brand products, we have begun to expand the youth orientated brand, Amphi, and beginning next fiscal year we plan to increase sales through a three-brand structure, including the high value-added brand Salute.
As a result of these factors, sales for fiscal year 2008 were 165,761 million yen, a 0.4% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.
In terms of profit, the operating income was 13,540 million yen, a 5.0% increase compared to the previous fiscal year.
Our pre-tax net income for fiscal year 2008 was 14,353 million yen, a 3.1% increase compared to the previous fiscal year, and our net income was 4,966 million yen, a 45.0% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.
The reason for the significant decrease in net income was largely the result of a 4,694 million yen write-down of our 49% interest in Peach John Co., Ltd. (“Peach John”), which was acquired during the previous fiscal year as part of a capital alliance. This loss, accounted for using the equity method, was the result of a re-evaluation of the fair market value of Peach John’s stock following the creation of a sound five-year business plan that takes into account various changes in the business structure of the mail-order industry that are being brought on by the spread of the Internet and cellular phones.
Following their capital alliance, Wacoal and Peach John utilized their respective know-how and broad customer base to develop their businesses synergistically, and in January 2008, with the aim of speeding up and strengthening such business development, Wacoal acquired the remaining 51% of Peach John through a stock swap, making Peach John a wholly owned subsidiary. Wacoal exchanged 3.44 million shares of treasury stock and 3.26 million shares of newly issued stock in connection the stock swap. Additionally, in order to improve capital efficiency, Wacoal implemented a buyback and cancellation of 3.9 million of its own shares. Please note that for purposes of Wacoal’s fiscal year 2007 consolidated financial statements, Peach John is treated as having become a consolidated subsidiary as of March 31, 2007, which means it is still treated as an equity-method affiliate for purposes of Wacoal’s consolidated income statement.
As for sales by business, textiles and related products accounted for 150,710 million yen of sales, a 0.2% increase compared to the previous fiscal year and other products accounted for 15,051 million yen of sales, a 6.3% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.
As for sales by region, Japan accounted for 139,618 million yen of sales, which was 84.2% of the entire group’s sales, while the rest of Asia accounted for 4.6%, and Europe and the U.S. together accounted for 11.2%.
Forecast for Next Fiscal Year
Factors that could significantly affect the global economy during the next fiscal year, such as the sub-prime mortgage crisis and crude oil prices, have unknown consequences, and it is very difficult to predict the impact those factors may have on domestic and foreign consumer markets. Nevertheless, we currently anticipate that domestic personal consumer spending will remain at the same level.
Based on our mid-term management plan that is currently underway and our new growth strategy, CAP 21 (Corporate Activation Project 21), we will make various efforts, including improving the product appeal of brassieres, style science products and other core products and expanding the sale of those products through effective advertising, growing the men’s innerwear business that we have started to develop fully, establishing a profitable structure through the development of our directly owned retail store business infrastructure, and reducing production costs by integrating the manufacturing functions of the Wacoal and Wing brands. Overseas, we will continue to actively invest in our China business and work to improve the market presence of the Wacoal brand and grow our performance and market share.
Our target for the next fiscal year end is to achieve sales of 183,000 million yen, operating income of 12,500 million yen, pre-tax net income of 11,200 million yen, and net income of 7,000 million yen. These figures include the results of Peach John that became our wholly owned subsidiary in January 2008. The current exchange rate for the U.S. dollar is assumed to be 102 yen to the dollar. However, since the U.S. business constitutes a high proportion of the sales and income of our consolidated results, an exchange fluctuation could significantly affect our consolidated results.
(2) Analysis of Financial Condition
Cash flow from operating activities during fiscal year 2008 was 14,225 million yen, an increase of 4,886 million yen from the previous fiscal year despite a decrease in net income, due to an equity-method investment loss adjustment and a decrease of inventory.
Cash flow from investment activities amounted to 3,590 million yen, an increase of 4,775 million yen from the previous fiscal year, due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of Peach John which became a wholly owned subsidiary through a stock swap during fiscal year 2007.
Cash flow used in financial activities included an expenditure of 9,400 million yen, for the acquisition of treasury stock.
As a result, the balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal year 2008, calculated by excluding the exchange difference on cash and cash equivalents from the above total, was 28,043 million yen, an increase of 8,227 million yen compared to the previous fiscal year.
Free cash flow, which was calculated by subtracting the amount of capital investment from the cash flow from operating activities, amounted to 13,014 million yen.

(3) Basic Policy Regarding Distribution of Profits and Dividends for Fiscal Years 2008 and 2009
Our basic policy regarding the distribution of profits to our shareholders is to pay steady dividends and increase our earnings per share, while giving due consideration to the improvement of corporate value through active investment that will result in increased profitability. As for retained earnings, with the aim of improving our corporate value, we have actively invested in developing new specialty retail stores, developing new points of contact with customers and actively investing in overseas businesses. We are also concentrating on new business investments, such as entry into new markets, strategic business alliances and M&A activities. We hope that these efforts will benefit our shareholders by improving future profitability. We also intend to acquire treasury stock from time to time, and we will try to improve capital efficiency and return profits to our shareholders.
As previously announced, the dividend payable for fiscal year 2008 will be 25.00 yen per share. For fiscal year 2009, we hope to be able to distribute 25.00 yen per share.

| (4) | | Issues to Address |
The average age of our customers is naturally increasing as a result of the general ageing of the population. Separately, changes in the consumer behavior of young consumers in favor of fashion merchandise can also generally be seen in the innerwear industry. We believe it is necessary to respond to such changes through the creation of new value, as well as means of communication. Furthermore, we consider it an important challenge to be able to position ourselves favorably in the context of changes in the behavior of young consumers, which has intensified competition among retailers and created a new low-end product market.
There is also an urgent need to expand the scale of operations into new channels, in addition to our existing channels, such as department stores, chain stores and boutiques, which have supported the growth of our group throughout the years.
As it is difficult to expect a large expansion in the domestic consumer market in the long term, we believe business expansion overseas is essential for our future growth. Currently, we intend to achieve further growth in our U.S. business, which is our core overseas business, and we believe that business expansion or new entries in the area where greater marketability is expected (such as China) will become a key issue.
In response to these issues, our group promotes a new growth strategy CAP 21, under which we aim to achieve business expansion by focusing on investment of sources in the area with competitive superiority through “selection of business and concentration” and as for overseas, to achieve brand or graphical expansion through an aggressive investment.

| b. | | Valuation Standard of Tangible Fixed Assets and Method of Depreciation |
| | | Tangible fixed assets are valued at the acquisition cost. Depreciation expenses are calculated mainly using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of assets (the lease term or useful life, whichever is shorter, is used for capitalized leased assets). |
| c. | | Valuation Method of Marketable Securities and Investment Securities |
| | | Based on the provisions of FASB Standard No. 115, marketable securities and investment securities have been classified as available for sale securities, and valued at a fair value.

|
| | | Stock of affiliated companies: Cost accounting method based on moving average method |
|
| | | Other securities: |

|
| | | (Additional Information) |
|
| | | With regard to the tangible fixed assets acquired on or before March 31, 2007, the depreciation method has been changed so that they are amortized uniformly over a five-year period following the end of depreciation period until the amount reaches the limit for depreciation. The effect of such change on the income statement is minor. |
| b. | | Intangible fixed assets: Fixed amount method |
| a. | | Accrued bonuses: In order to provide bonuses to employees, accrued bonuses are reserved based on the anticipated amount to be paid. |
|
| b. | | Reserve for officers’ bonuses: In order to provide bonuses to officers, reserve for officers’ bonuses are reserved based on the anticipated amount to be paid and recorded as “Accrued bonuses” under Current Liabilities. |

Notice Regarding Dissolution and Liquidation of Our Subsidiary
Wacoal Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) hereby notifies you of its decision regarding the dissolution and liquidation of its group subsidiary, Tokai Wacoal Sewing Corp. (the “Subsidiary”), as follows:
| | | | |
1. | | Outline of subsidiary to be liquidated: |
|
(1) | | Name of subsidiary: | | Tokai Wacoal Sewing Corp. |
| | Head office: | | 1699-140, Shizunami, Makinohara-shi, Shizuoka |
| | Representative: | | Kunihiko Maki, President & Director |
| | Business lines: | | Manufacture of women’s innerwear |
| | Date of incorporation: | | November 1959 |
| | Capital amount: | | 30 million yen |
| | Shareholder: | | Wacoal Corp. 100% (wholly owned subsidiary) |
| | Number of employees: | | 92 (as of May 1, 2008) |
| | Sales: | | 597 million yen (for the fiscal year ended March 2008) |
|
(2) | | Reasons for dissolution and liquidation: |
Tokai Wacoal Sewing Corp. has been one of the Company’s primary domestic facilities for the manufacture of Wacoal brand products. However, for various reasons, including the need to cut costs further to maintain the cost competitiveness of our products, the significant expense of maintaining and repairing factory equipment and the difficulty of hiring new employees, the Company has determined that it is difficult to continue the Subsidiary’s current business activities and has decided to dissolve and liquidate it.
| | | | |
|
(3) | | Schedule | | |
|
| | May 8, 2008: | | Subsidiary’s board of directors resolves to dissolve |
| | May 9, 2008: | | Execution of agreement with employees |
| | End of June 2008: | | Expected cessation of business activities |
|
(4) | | Treatment of employees |
The intention is for all employees to resign upon the dissolution of the Subsidiary. We will offer jobs at other domestic manufacturing subsidiaries to those employees who are able to move and who wish to be re-employed. We will also provide support for employees who seek re-employment outside the Wacoal group.
2. | | Effect on consolidated business results |
1
We will provide retiring employees with an additional severance payment in addition to the usual retirement benefits. We will also provide support for former employees seeking employment elsewhere by assisting with the cost of searching for new employment. As a result, we expect to record an operating expenditure of approximately 670 million yen.
The earnings forecast for the current fiscal year reflecting this dissolution is incorporated in the earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2009, which is being announced today in a separate release.
Cautionary Statement regarding Forward Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release regarding Wacoal’s or management’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, or predictions for the future are forward-looking statements that are based on Wacoal’s and managements’ current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about its business and the industry. These forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding fiscal year 2009 revenues and operating and net profitability, are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause Wacoal’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include: the impact of weak consumer spending in Japan and our other markets on our sales and profitability; the impact on our business of anticipated continued weakness of department stores and other general retailers in Japan; our ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market products in Japan and our other markets that meet the changing tastes and needs of consumers, including younger women and mature women and to deliver high quality products; the highly competitive nature of our business and the strength of our competitors; our ability to successfully expand our network of our own specialty retail stores and achieve profitable operations at these stores; our ability to further develop our catalog and Internet sales capabilities; our ability to effectively manage our inventory levels; our ability to reduce costs by consolidating our activities in Japan, increasing our product sourcing and manufacturing in lower-cost countries such as China and Vietnam, and other efforts to reduce costs; effects of seasonality on our business and performance; risks related to conducting our business internationally, including political and economic instability, unexpected legal or regulatory changes, changes in tax laws, difficulties managing widespread operations, differing protection of intellectual property and public health crises; risks from acquisitions and other strategic transactions with third parties, including the difficulty of assimilating operations, technology and personnel of any acquired business and our ability to retain management, employees, customers and suppliers of any acquired business; the impact of weakness in the Japanese equity markets on our holdings of Japanese equity securities; and the impact of any natural disaster or epidemic on our business; and other risks referred to from time to time in Wacoal’s filings on Form 20-F of its annual report and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Resolution Regarding the Amount and Terms of
Stock Acquisition Rights to be Issued to Directors as Stock Options
Wacoal Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) hereby announces that its board of directors resolved at meeting held on May 9, 2008 to submit a proposal to its shareholders at the 60th ordinary general meeting of shareholders planned for June 27, 2008 regarding the amount and terms of stock acquisition rights to be granted to directors as stock options as follows.
Reason for Proposal
The Company wishes to grant stock acquisition rights with an exercise price of one (1) yen per share to its directors (excluding outside directors) as a form of equity compensation, with the goal of providing directors with the opportunity, like shareholders of the Company, to participate in the benefits of increasing stock values as well as to bear the risks of declining stock values, so as to further encourage such directors’ desire to serve and improve the Company.
Under the Company Act (Law No. 86 of 2005), granting stock acquisition rights to directors is considered a form of remuneration, and we will therefore ask that shareholders approve the amount and terms of the stock acquisition rights to be granted.
The Company decided to base the proposed amount and terms of the stock acquisition rights on the size of the Company, each director’s degree of contribution and how each director conducts his or her duties.
The Company believes that the terms of the proposal are appropriate, since the stock options will be granted with the aim of providing stock acquisition rights so that directors, like shareholders, will not only enjoy the benefit of increasing stock values but also bear the risk of decreasing stock values, as well as to further encourage their desire to serve and improve the Company.
Furthermore, stock acquisition rights will not be issued to outside directors because outside directors are retained as part of the Company’s corporate governance strategy in order to improve corporate value by increasing management transparency and ensuring fairness and independence.
Terms of the Proposal
1. | | At the 57th ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 29, 2005, the remuneration of directors was limited to a maximum of 350 million yen per year. In this proposal we will ask shareholders to approve the payment of up to 70 million yen per fiscal year of compensation to directors in the form of stock acquisition rights in addition to cash remuneration, to begin on the date of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders. |
|
2. | | The proposed terms of the provision of stock acquisition rights as stock options to directors of the Company are as follows: |
1
| | (1) Total number of stock acquisition rights and total number of shares represented by the stock acquisition rights: |
|
| | The maximum number of shares that can be acquired through the exercise of stock acquisition rights during any one-year period beginning on the date of the ordinary general meeting of shareholders (hereinafter, an “Allocation Year”) is 70,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Maximum Annual Acquired Shares”). |
|
| | If, following the date of the shareholder resolution approving the proposal (the “Resolution Date”), there is a stock split (including a gratis issuance of ordinary shares of the Company, hereinafter the same) or a reverse stock split of the Company’s ordinary shares, the Maximum Annual Acquired Shares will be adjusted from the date following the stock split or reverse stock split in accordance with the following calculation: |
Maximum Annual Acquired Shares after adjustment =
Maximum Annual Acquired Shares before adjustment × stock split/reverse stock split ratio
| | The maximum number of stock acquisition rights that can be issued in any Allocation Year (the “Maximum Annual Issuance”) is calculated by dividing the Maximum Annual Acquired Shares at the time of the issuance of the stock acquisition rights, by the number of shares in a trading unit of the Company. (If, following the Resolution Date, there has been no adjustment to the number of Maximum Annual Acquired Shares, and the total number of shares in a trading unit remains at the current 1,000 shares, the Maximum Annual Issuance will be 70). |
|
| | However, if there is an adjustment to the number of shares in a trading unit in the middle of an Allocation Year and stock acquisition rights have already been issued for such Allocation Year, the Maximum Annual Issuance will be adjusted as follows: |
Maximum Annual Issuance after adjustment = ((Maximum Annual Acquired Shares immediately prior to the
adjustment in the number of shares in a trading unit − the number of shares represented by stock
acquisition rights already issued for such Allocation Year) ÷ the new number of shares in a trading
unit) + the number of stock acquisition rights already issued for such Allocation Year
| | (2) Class of shares represented by the stock acquisition rights and the number of shares represented by each share acquisition right |
|
| | The stock acquisition rights will be for ordinary shares. The number of shares represented by each stock acquisition right (“Conversion Ratio”) is the number of shares in a trading unit at the time such stock acquisition right is issued. |
|
| | Furthermore, following the date of issue of the stock acquisition rights (the “Issue Date”), if the Company carries out a stock split or reverse stock split of its ordinary shares, the Conversion Ratio will be adjusted as follows: |
Conversion Ratio following adjustment =
Conversion Ratio prior to adjustment × stock split/consolidation ratio
| | In addition, if after the Issue Date, it becomes appropriate to adjust the Conversion Ratio, the Company may do so to the extent reasonable. |
|
| | Any fractional shares as a result of the above adjustment will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. |
| (iii) | | Amount capitalized upon exercise of stock acquisition rights |
2
| The amount capitalized upon the exercise of each stock acquisition right shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the exercise price of one (1) yen per share to be paid upon exercise of the stock acquisition rights and (ii) the Conversion Ratio. |
| (iv) | | Exercise period for stock acquisition rights |
| The stock acquisition rights will be exercisable from the date immediately following the grant date of the stock acquisition right for a period of not more than 20 years to be set by the board of directors of the Company. |
| (v) | | Restriction on the acquisition of stock acquisition rights by transfer |
| The acquisition of stock acquisition rights by transfer is subject to approval by resolution of the board of directors of the Company. |
| (vi) | | Other conditions relating to the exercise of stock acquisition rights |
| | In principle, holders of stock acquisition rights may exercise their stock acquisition rights from the date immediately following their loss of status as director (including officers of a company that has adopted the committee system), auditor or executive officer of the Company. Other stock acquisition right conditions shall be determined at a general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors of the Company where items regarding the offer stock acquisition rights will be determined. |
|
3. | | There are currently eight directors, two of whom are outside directors. However, if the proposal regarding the election of directors is approved without amendment at the 60th ordinary general meeting of shareholders, the number of directors will be eight, three of whom will be outside directors. |
Additional Reference
In addition to introducing a proposal for a stock option plan for directors of the Company, upon resolution of the board of directors of the Company, we plan to issue stock acquisition rights with the same details as those outlined above to director’s of the Company’s subsidiary, Wacoal Corp., within one year from the date following the 60th ordinary general meeting of shareholders. The Maximum Annual Acquired Shares will be 30,000 ordinary shares and the Maximum Annual Issuance will be 30.
