Reference Documents for the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
Agenda No.1: Approval of the Share Exchange Agreement between SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. and CUMICA CORPORATION
SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) resolved at the Board of Directors meeting held on December 2, 2024 to carry out a management integration with CUMICA Corporation (“CUMICA”) (the “Management Integration”) and carry out a share exchange with CUMICA as the share exchange wholly-owning parent company and Company as the share exchange wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Share Exchange”), and executed a share exchange agreement between the two companies (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).
In this proposal, the Company shall seek an approval for the Share Exchange Agreement.
If the aforementioned approval is obtained, the Company’s American depositary shares (the “SYLA ADSs”; 100 SYLA ADSs represent one share of the Company’s common stock (the “SYLA Shares”)) are scheduled to be delisted from the U.S. Nasdaq stock market on May 29, 2025 (U.S. time) (last trading date of May 28, 2025 (U.S. time)), ahead of the effective date of the Share Exchange (June 1, 2025 (scheduled)).
Reason for the Share Exchange, Content of the Share Exchange Agreement, and other related matters are described below.
1. Reason for the Share Exchange
CUMICA operates in the development and sales of family condominiums, primarily in Saitama Prefecture. Its condominium brands, BELLE DEMEURE and BELJOUR, are particularly noted for their high quality and environmental considerations, showcasing its advanced construction techniques. CUMICA has operated real estate development and construction business while leveraging its unique creativity and cost-effective business model developed through 40 years of condominium development focused on local communities.
The Company, with its mission of “democratizing real estate investment around the world and enriching the 100-year life era with technology and asset management,” engages in the proptech business centered on the asset management platform “Rimawari-kun,” development and operation of Rimawari-kun AI, and real estate development business including the SYFORME series.
Recent years have seen rapid changes to the external environment surrounding us, with accelerating movement of the currents that influence long-term economic trends, such as decarbonization, decrease in the working population, technological progress, urbanization, rapidly rising construction costs, and a rise in market interest rates. With these changes in the external environment comes the need for the real estate industry to transform its traditional business model and respond to rapid market changes. Even traditional real estate development is facing significant challenges, including more efficient development processes, project management with limited personnel, timely information sharing and utilization, and mutual utilization of human resources. In this environment, the two companies entered into a capital and business alliance agreement on January 23, 2024 with the aim of creating business synergies by leveraging their respective strengths and expertise and complementing each other’s business models. Specifically, in April 2024, CUMICA promoted collaboration between the companies by subscribing for the third-party allotment for a capital increase by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary SYLA Co., Ltd. in order to promote joint projects by CUMICA and the Company and to share the Company’s condominium development expertise. In addition, in August 2024, from the perspective of raising funds and strengthening CUMICA’s financial base, the Company sought to further strengthen the relationship by subscribing to shares of CUMICA’s capital increase through third-party allotment.
In the actual collaboration between CUMICA and the Company, the two companies have been exploring the development of new products such as Combined Residence (a blend of family and single-room layouts within a single building) and Senior Tech Mansion (nursing care × IoT senior tech condominium). In addition, a wide range of other collaborations have also been carried out, including the Company providing CUMICA with operational support such as business administration and information system services, as well as financial support. However, CUMICA’s business base and the business environment surrounding CUMICA have become highly unstable due to changes in the external environment caused by background factors such as high procurement costs due to the ongoing sharp depreciation in the Japanese yen, putting CUMICA in a difficult position, the current collaboration framework is not expected to be sufficient to realize further synergies, and CUMICA’s business performance has continued to decline recently. Specifically, CUMICA’s sales for the fiscal year ended May 2024 decreased approximately 36% from the previous year to approximately 4.8 billion yen, and operating income decreased approximately 73% from the previous year to approximately 300 million yen. Furthermore, forecasts for the current fiscal year ending May 2025 have been repeatedly revised downward, with sales expected to be approximately 4.7 billion yen and operating income expected to be approximately 140 million yen, a further decrease compared to last year.
Based on CUMICA’s business performance mentioned above and the situation that most of CUMICA’s business operations depend on the Company, in order to further stabilize CUMICA’s business base and create a growth strategy together with CUMICA, the Company came to the understanding that it was essential to integrate the management of both companies, and held repeated discussions within the Company regarding management integration with CUMICA. During the course of those discussions, the Company came to believe that it would be possible to build an efficient management system and establish a business base that is unaffected by the environment with the goal of improving the profitability of the entire group and strengthening corporate structure by integrating the management resources of both companies by means of implementing a share exchange in which CUMICA becomes the share exchange wholly-owning parent company and the Company becomes the share exchange wholly-owned subsidiary, and moved forward with examining the Share Exchange. Specifically, the Company came to the conclusion that, from the perspective of the nature of both companies’ business – namely that they both conduct their business in Japan – which of the two companies would be best to be delisted after the integration, and as a result of comprehensive consideration from the perspective of the realization of a more nimble growth strategy after the integration and the impact, etc. on the interests of CUMICA’s minority shareholders and the Company’s shareholders, the best option was to aim to improve corporate value for the group as a whole by implementing management with further group integration by means such as making the Company a wholly-owned subsidiary through a share exchange, optimizing the group-wide organizational structure, optimizing personnel, expanding business opportunities through information aggregation, consolidating duplicate operations at each location, and achieving an optimal financial strategy for the group as a whole, and on September 18, 2024, the Company proposed the Share Exchange to CUMICA.
In response to the Company’s above proposal, CUMICA began concrete examination of the Share Exchange. In addition, when it began concrete examination of the Share Exchange, because the Company is CUMICA’s largest shareholder that is its major shareholder and otherwise related company, and CUMICA has two directors who are dispatched to it from the Company, on September 24, 2024, CUMICA established a special committee (the “Special Committee”) comprising independent members without an interest in the Company, CUMICA’s largest shareholder that is its major shareholder and otherwise related company, in order to eliminate the risk of a structural conflict of interest with the Company and conduct examination of the Share Exchange from a standpoint independent from the Company and CUMICA to eliminate the risk of arbitrariness and conflict of interest in the decision-making process for the Share Exchange by CUMICA’s board of directors, ensure the fairness of the Share Exchange, and obtain an opinion as to whether a decision by CUMICA’s board of directors to carry out the Share Exchange would be disadvantageous to minority shareholders, and also put in place a framework for specific examination, such as engaging outside experts. As a result of carefully examining the Company’s proposal under this framework, CUMICA came to the understanding that the Share Exchange would contribute to the improvement of CUMICA’s corporate value because the Share Exchange would facilitate closer collaboration between both companies’ groups and speed up management decision-making by optimizing the group-wide organizational structure and make it possible to create new business opportunities and therefore achieve a more nimble management strategy for both companies’ groups from a medium- to long-term perspective by further leveraging management resources such as the human resources, assets, technology, and expertise of both companies’ groups and implementing an optimal financial strategy for the group as a whole.
As a result of the above examination by both companies, CUMICA and the Company agreed that in order to nimbly adapt to significant changes to the environment, further break new ground in the field of advanced real estate business, realize the business of both companies at a high level with speed, and continue to expand the business base and strengthen the financial base, it is necessary to promote their business as one team based on a unified vision and philosophy through the Management Integration, and came to the conclusion that it is necessary to integrate the management of both companies as soon as possible with commitment on both sides in order to build a close collaborative and capital relationship and came to execute the Share Exchange Agreement.
The strengths of CUMICA’s real estate development, construction, and real estate sales businesses lie in a network of business partners and community-based services, while those of the Company’s real estate and crowdfunding businesses can be found in technology, such as procurement and funding using real estate crowdfunding, and purchasing and sales utilizing AI and big data. Through the Management Integration, the companies will accelerate the realization of synergies by leveraging mutual strengths in their respective businesses going forward. At the same time, by optimizing the group-wide organizational structure, optimizing personnel, expanding business opportunities through information aggregation, consolidating duplicate operations at each location, and implementing an optimal financial strategy for the group as a whole, the two companies will integrate their management resources to build an efficient management system and work toward improving the profitability of the entire group and strengthening corporate structure with the goal of creating a business base that is unaffected by the environment.

Exercise Price after adjustment = Exercise Price before adjustment * (Number of outstanding shares + Number of newly issued shares * Amount of cash payable per share / Market value) / (Number of outstanding shares + Number of newly issued shares)
In the formula above, “Number of outstanding shares” means the number calculated by deducting the number of treasury shares from the total number of outstanding common shares of the Company and “Number of newly issued shares” is replaced by “Number of treasury shares to be disposed of” in the case of disposal of the treasury shares.

If the Company carries out a stock split or a stock consolidation after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Number of Granted Shares is adjusted according to the following formula:
Number of Granted Shares after adjustment = Number of Granted Shares before adjustment * Ratio of stock split or stock consolidation.
If the Company carries out Merger etc. (hereafter refers to merger, company split, share-to-share exchange, and share-to-share transfer) or allotment of shares without contribution, or if adjustment of the Number of Granted Shares is necessary, the Company may adjust the Number of Granted Shares to reasonable extent.
2. | Value or method for calculation of Property to be contributed upon exercise of Stock Acquisition Rights |
The asset to be contributed upon exercise of the Stock Acquisition Rights is cash, and the amount of the asset is the amount of cash payable per share to be delivered upon exercise of each Stock Acquisition Right (the “Exercise Price”) multiplied by the Number of Granted Shares.
The initial Exercise Price is USD 0.00009.
If the Company carries out a stock split or a stock consolidation after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price is adjusted according to the following formula, a fraction less than USD 0. 00001 thereof is rounded up, and is converted into Japanese yen by the exchange rate on the date of exercise.
Exercise Price after adjustment = Exercise Price before adjustment * 1 / Ratio of stock split or stock consolidation
If the Company issues new shares or disposes treasury shares with respect to common shares of the Company at an amount lower than the Exercise Price (except issuance of new shares and disposal of treasury shares pursuant to exercise of stock acquisition rights, delivery of common shares of the Company in exchange for acquisition of shares with call option or shares with put option issued by the Company, and transfer of treasury shares via share-to-share exchange) after the allotment date of the Stock Acquisition Rights, the Exercise Price is adjusted to the amount payable or the amount for disposal concerning such issuance or disposal, which becomes applicable as of the payment date for such issuance or disposal (if payment period is established, its final date).
3. | Exercise Period during which Stock Acquisition Rights can be exercised |

End
(End of the Share Exchange Agreement)
3. Matters Concerning Appropriateness of Consideration
(1) Matters Concerning Appropriateness of Total Number and Allotment of Consideration
A. Details of allotment related to the Share Exchange
| | CUMICA (share exchange wholly-owning parent company) | | | SYLA (share exchange wholly-owned subsidiary) | |
Exchange ratio for the Share Exchange | | | 1 | | | | 110.00 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Number of shares of stock to be delivered through the Share Exchange | | | CUMICA common stock: 34,371,590 shares (planned) | |
(Note 1) Share allotment ratio
For each share of the SYLA Shares, 110.00 shares of the CUMICA common shares will be delivered. Furthermore, the above share exchange ratio may, if a significant change has occurred in the various conditions that form the basis of the calculation, be changed by agreement after consultation between CUMICA and the Company.
(Note 2) Number of common shares to be delivered through the Share Exchange
At the time of the Share Exchange, CUMICA shall allot and deliver to shareholders of the Company at the time immediately before the time of CUMICA’s acquisition of all SYLA Shares through the Share Exchange (the “Reference Time”) (however, this refers to shareholders after the cancellation of the treasury shares as set forth below) the number of common shares of CUMICA (the “CUMICA Shares”) calculated based on the exchange ratio in the table above in exchange for the SYLA Shares held by such shareholders. CUMICA plans to allot newly issued common shares.
In addition, by resolution at a the Company’s Board of Directors meeting held by the day before the effective date of the Share Exchange, the Company plans to cancel at the time immediately before the Reference Time all of the treasury shares (including treasury shares acquired by the Company through purchase of shares related to a share purchase demand exercised pursuant to the provisions of Article 785(1) of the Companies Act upon the Share Exchange) held as of the time immediately before the Reference Time. The total number of CUMICA Shares to be allotted and delivered through the Share Exchange may be revised going forward depending on the number of treasury shares that the Company holds by the time immediately before the Reference Time, etc.
Furthermore, the above “Number of shares to be delivered through the Share Exchange” assumes that the stock acquisition rights issued by the Company that are in a condition allowing exercise are all exercised by the day before the effective date of the Share Exchange, and if some or all of the stock acquisition rights have not been exercised, the number of shares to be delivered through the Share Exchange will decrease.
(Note 3) Handling of CUMICA Shares held by the Company
The Company already holds CUMICA Shares (3,688,300 shares) and will come to hold shares of the wholly-owning parent company CUMICA due to the Share Exchange taking effect, but after the effective date of the Share Exchange, the relevant shares, including dividends in kind to CUMICA, are planned to be disposed of at an appropriate time in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act.
(Note 4) Handling of shares less than one unit
The Company’s shareholders who hold CUMICA shares constituting less than one unit (less than 100 shares) as a result of the Share Exchange will not be able to sell such shares less than one unit on a financial instruments exchange market, but may avail themselves of the following system for CUMICA’s shares less than one unit.
System for purchasing shares less than one unit (sale of shares less than one unit)
This system allows holders to demand that CUMICA purchase shares less than one unit that they hold based on the provisions of Article 192(1) of the Companies Act.
B. Basis, etc. for the Details of Allotment Pertaining to the Share Exchange
(a) Basis and reasons for the allotment
To ensure fairness and appropriateness in determining the share exchange ratio used in the Share Exchange described above in 3(1)A “Details of allotment related to the Share Exchange” (the “Share Exchange Ratio”), CUMICA and the Company have each appointed a third-party calculation agent and various advisors independent from both companies.
Specifically, CUMICA has appointed KK Stand by C (“StandbyC”) as its third-party calculation agent, Mita Securities Co., Ltd. (“Mita Securities”) as its financial advisor, and TMI Associates (“TMI”) as its legal advisor, and the Company has appointed PwC Advisory LLC (“PwC”) as its financial advisor and third-party calculation agent, and DT Legal (“DTL”) and Allen Overy Shearman Sterling GKJ (“AOS”) as its legal advisors.
After careful discussion and consideration by CUMICA based on the contents of the calculation report regarding the share exchange ratio obtained from its third-party calculation agent StandbyC, the fact that the Share Exchange Ratio is within the range of the calculation results using the DCF method in the calculation report, and advice from its financial advisor Mita Securities and its legal advisor TMI as described in (d) “Measures to ensure fairness” below, and the report, etc. received from the special committee that has no interest in the Company as described in (e) “Measures to avoid conflict of interest” below, CUMICA has concluded that the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate and will contribute to the interests of CUMICA shareholders, and has therefore determined that it is appropriate to carry out the Share Exchange based on the Share Exchange Ratio.
After careful discussion and consideration by the Company based on advice, etc. from its financial advisor and third-party calculation agent PwC and from DTL and AOS as described in (d) “Measures to ensure fairness” below, the Company has concluded that the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate based on the fact that it is within the range of the calculation results using the DCF method in the calculation report prepared by PwC and will contribute to the interests of the Company shareholders, and has therefore determined that it is appropriate to carry out the Share Exchange based on the Share Exchange Ratio.
In addition to the above, after careful examination based on the results of due diligence, etc. conducted by each company on the other company and comprehensive consideration of factors such as CUMICA and the Company’s finances, assets, and future prospects, etc., CUMICA and the Company have held repeated negotiations and consultations with each other.
As a result, CUMICA and the Company have determined that the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate and will contribute to the interests of their respective shareholders, and have therefore executed the Share Exchange Agreement between the two companies with the approval of their respective Boards of Directors.
(b) Matters related to calculation
(i) Name of calculation agents and relationship with both companies
CUMICA’s third-party calculation agent StandbyC and SYLA’s third-party calculation agent PwC are both calculation agents independent of CUMICA and the Company, do not constitute affiliated parties of CUMICA or the Company, and have no material interests that should be stated regarding the Share Exchange.
(ii) Overview of calculation
StandbyC, in its calculation with respect to CUMICA, respectively adopted the average market price method, because CUMICA is listed on a financial instruments exchange and has a market stock price, and in addition, the discounted cash flow method (the “DCF Method”) to reflect the status of future business activities in the evaluation.
In the average market price method, using the calculation reference date of November 29, 2024 as the reference date, StandbyC used the closing price on the reference date, and the simple average of closing prices for the five most recent business days, the most recent month, the three most recent months, and the six most recent months before the reference date for CUMICA Shares on the standard market of Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market”).
In the DCF Method, with respect to CUMICA, the calculation was made by discounting future cash flows based on the financial forecasts for the periods from the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025 to the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027 prepared by CUMICA to the present value using a certain discount rate. The profit plan that constituted the assumptions for calculation includes business years in which a significant increase or decrease in profits is expected. Specifically, for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025, due to the current low level of acquisition of real estate for development and sale, operating income is expected to be 143 million yen, a decrease by approximately 52% from 295 million yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 79 million yen, a decrease by approximately 63% from 213 million yen in the previous fiscal year. In addition, for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, due to the continued weakness in the acquisition of real estate for sale, operating income is expected to be 61 million yen, a decrease by approximately 58% from 143 million yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 21 million yen, a decrease by approximately 73% from 79 million yen in the previous fiscal year. In addition, for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027, due to a recovery resulting from the re-strengthening of the development business, operating income is expected to be 195 million yen, an increase by approximately 223% from 61 million yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 116 million yen, an increase by approximately 441% from 21 million yen in the previous fiscal year. In addition, the financial forecasts do not assume the implementation of the Share Exchange.
With respect to the Company, StandbyC respectively adopted the average market price method, because SYLA ADSs are listed on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market and have a market stock price, and also the DCF Method to reflect the status of future business activities in the evaluation.
In the average market price method, using the calculation reference date of November 29, 2024 as the reference date, StandbyC used the closing price on the reference date, and the simple average of closing prices for the five most recent business days, the most recent month, the three most recent months, and the six most recent months before the reference date for SYLA ADSs on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market.
In the DCF Method, with respect to the Company, the calculation was made by discounting future cash flows based on the financial forecasts for the periods from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 prepared by the Company to the present value using a certain discount rate. The profit plan that constituted the assumptions for calculation includes business years in which a significant increase or decrease in profits is expected. Specifically, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, due to the plan to sell multiple properties with high profitability, operating income (consolidated) is expected to be 3.389 billion yen, an increase by 80% from 1.887 billion yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income (consolidated) is expected to be 1.846 billion yen, an increase by approximately 129% from 808 million yen in the previous fiscal year. In addition, the financial forecasts do not assume the implementation of the Share Exchange.
The share exchange ratio calculation results for each evaluation method when the value per share of CUMICA Shares is set as one are as follows. For SYLA Shares in the average market price method, since SYLA ADSs are quoted in U.S. dollars and 100 SYLA ADSs equal one SYLA Share, the share exchange ratio is calculated upon converting the closing price or the simple average of closing prices for one SYLA ADS to Japanese yen using the U.S. dollar rate (1 USD = 150.74 yen) on the reference date and making a unit conversion by multiplying by 100.
Method used | | Share exchange ratio calculation range |
Average market price method | | 52.09 – 81.93 |
DCF Method | | 93.75 – 228.61 |
In calculating the above share exchange ratio, StandbyC has in principle used the information provided by both companies and publicly available information, etc. as-is, and has assumed that all of the materials and information, etc. used are accurate and complete and that there are no facts undisclosed to StandbyC that could have a material impact on the calculation of the share exchange ratio, and has not independently verified the accuracy and completeness of the materials and information. Furthermore, StandbyC has not independently evaluated, appraised, or assessed the assets or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the two companies and their affiliated companies, including the analysis and evaluation of individual assets and liabilities, and has not requested appraisals or assessments from third-party organizations. StandbyC’s share exchange ratio calculation reflects the information and economic conditions as of November 29, 2024 (however, until the end of trading on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market on November 29 U.S. time for SYLA ADSs), and assumes that the financial forecasts of each company have been reasonably considered or prepared based on the best forecasts and judgments available at the present time by the management of each company.
PwC, in its calculation with respect to CUMICA, respectively adopted the market price standard method, because CUMICA is listed on a financial instruments exchange and has a market stock price, as well as the DCF Method to reflect the status of future business activities in the evaluation.
In the market price standard method, using November 29, 2024 as the reference date, PwC used the closing price on the reference date, the simple average closing price and volume weighted average price for the most recent month up to the reference date, and the simple average closing price and volume weighted average price for the three most recent months up to the reference date for CUMICA Shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market.
In the DCF Method, with respect to CUMICA, the calculation was made by discounting future cash flows expected to be generated from the second quarter of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025 onwards based on various factors such as the business plan for the period from the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025 to the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027 prepared by CUMICA, interviews with CUMICA, and information released to the public to the present value using a certain discount rate. It is stated that CUMICA’s business plan used by PwC in the calculation using the DCF Method includes business years in which a significant increase or decrease in profits is expected. Specifically, for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025, operating income is expected to be 143 million yen, a decrease by approximately 52% from 295 million yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 79 million yen, a decrease by approximately 63% from 213 million yen in the previous fiscal year, due to the delay of real estate sales expected in the second half of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025 to the following fiscal year. Also, for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, operating income is expected to be 61 million yen, a decrease by approximately 58% from 143 million yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 21 million yen, a decrease by approximately 73% from 79 million yen in the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a slump in the development business. In addition, for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027, operating income is expected to be 195 million yen, an increase by approximately 223% from 61 million yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 116 million yen, an increase by 441% from 21 million yen in the previous fiscal year, due to a re-strengthening of the development business. In addition, CUMICA’s financial forecasts that constitute the assumptions for PwC’s analysis using the DCF Method do not assume the implementation of the Share Exchange.
With respect to the Company, PwC adopted each of the market price standard method, because SYLA ADSs are listed on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market and have a market stock price, and in addition, the DCF Method to reflect the status of future business activities in the evaluation.
In the market price standard method, using November 29, 2024 as the reference date, PwC used the closing price on the reference date, the simple average closing price and volume weighted average price for the most recent month up to the reference date, and the simple average closing price and volume weighted average price for the three most recent months up to the reference date for SYLA ADSs on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market.
In the DCF Method, with respect to the Company, the calculation was made by discounting future cash flows expected to be generated from the second half of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 onwards based on various factors such as the business plan for the period from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 prepared by the Company, interviews with the Company, and information released to the public to the present value using a certain discount rate. It is stated that the profit plan used by PwC in the calculation using the DCF Method includes business years in which a significant increase in profits is expected. Specifically, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, operating income is expected to be 3.389 billion yen, an increase by approximately 80% from 1.887 billion yen in the previous fiscal year, and net income is expected to be 1.846 billion yen, an increase by approximately 129% from 808 million yen in the previous fiscal year, due to an improvement in profit margins due to insourcing of real estate construction and growth in the crowdfunding business, in addition to the growth and expansion of the real estate development business. In addition, the Company’s financial forecasts that constitute the assumptions for PwC’s analysis using the DCF Method do not assume the implementation of the Share Exchange.
The share exchange ratio calculation results for each evaluation method when the value per share of CUMICA Shares is set as one are as follows. For SYLA Shares in the market price standard method, since the trading values of SYLA ADSs are quoted in US dollars and 100 SYLA ADSs equal one SYLA Share, the share exchange ratio is calculated upon converting the closing price, the simple average of closing prices, or volume weighted average price for one SYLA ADS to Japanese yen using the U.S. dollar rate (1 USD = 150.74 yen) on the reference date and making a unit conversion by multiplying by 100.
Method used | | Share exchange ratio calculation range |
Market price standard method | | 66.30 – 79.22 |
DCF Method | | 97.55 – 118.04 |
In calculating the above share exchange ratio, PwC has in principle used the information provided by both companies and publicly available information, etc. as-is, and has assumed that all of the materials and information, etc. used are accurate and complete and that there are no facts undisclosed to PwC that could have a material impact on the calculation of the share exchange ratio, and has not independently verified the accuracy and completeness of the materials and information. In addition, PwC has assumed that the information pertaining to the financial forecasts of both companies (including the business plans and other information) has been reasonably prepared based on the best forecasts and judgments available at the present time by the management teams of both companies. Furthermore, PwC has not independently evaluated, appraised, or assessed the assets or liabilities (including off-balance sheet assets and liabilities and other contingent liabilities) of the two companies and their affiliated companies, including the analysis and evaluation of individual assets and liabilities, and has not requested appraisals or assessments from third-party organizations. PwC’s share exchange ratio calculation reflects the information and economic conditions as of November 29, 2024.
Furthermore, the sole purpose of PwC’s calculation is to serve as a reference for the Company’s Board of Directors to consider the Share Exchange Ratio.
(c) Expected delisting and reasons therefor
Since the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CUMICA on the effective date of June 1, 2025 (scheduled) as a result of the Share Exchange, SYLA ADSs are scheduled to be delisted on May 29, 2025 (U.S. time) after completing the U.S. Nasdaq stock market’s prescribed procedures. After delisting, SYLA ADSs will no longer be able to be traded on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market.
The CUMICA Shares to be allotted to the Company’s shareholders through the Share Exchange are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, and trading will be possible on that market even after the Share Exchange, so for the Company’s shareholders who will receive allotment of CUMICA Shares, although there is a possibility that shares less than one unit may be allotted depending on the number of shares held, it will be possible to trade CUMICA Shares of one unit or more on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, and it is believed that stock liquidity can be ensured.
In order for those holding SYLA ADSs to receive an allotment of CUMICA Shares in the Share Exchange, they must, prior to the effective date of the Share Exchange, receive the SYLA Shares represented by the SYLA ADSs in place of the SYLA ADSs in accordance with the procedures established by The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary bank for the SYLA ADSs (the “Depositary Bank”). Investors who hold SYLA ADSs as of the effective date will not receive CUMICA Shares in the Share Exchange, but rather, the CUMICA Shares allocated to the Depositary Bank in the Share Exchange (with respect to SYLA Shares represented by the SYLA ADSs) will be sold on the market etc. by the Depositary Bank, and the proceeds from such sale will be delivered to such investors in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement related to the SYLA ADSs, in accordance with the percentage of SYLA ADSs held and after predetermined fees and expenses have been excluded. Due to factors such as the aforementioned fees or expenses, fluctuations in the share price of CUMICA Shares after the effective date of the share exchange, and fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the US dollar, such amount may differ from the market value of CUMICA Shares as of the effective date if SYLA ADSs held as of the effective date are converted using the Share Exchange Ratio.
Furthermore, those holding SYLA ADSs will be able to trade their SYLA ADSs as usual on the U.S. Nasdaq stock market until May 28, 2024 (U.S. time) (scheduled), which is the final trading date.
(d) Measures to ensure fairness
CUMICA and the Company have determined that because the Company already holds 3,688,300 CUMICA Shares (which accounts for 30.58% of the 12,060,300 shares that are the total number of issued shares as of September 30, 2024), CUMICA constitutes an equity method affiliate of the Company, and because there is a relationship between the two companies as described in 4.(13) “Relationship between the companies involved” of the “Notice of Execution of Share Exchange Agreement Related to Management Integration of CUMICA Corporation and SYLA Technologies Co., Ltd., Change of Trade Name, and Partial Amendment of Articles of Incorporation” as of December 2, 2024 (the “Notice as of December 2, 2024”), it is necessary to ensure the fairness of the Share Exchange, and have implemented the following measures to ensure fairness.
(i) Acquisition of calculation report from an independent third-party calculation agent
CUMICA has appointed StandbyC and the Company has appointed PwC as their respective third-party calculation agents, and each has obtained a calculation report regarding the share exchange ratio from their respective calculation agents. Please see (b) “Matters related to calculation” above for an overview of the calculation report. Neither CUMICA nor the Company have obtained a written opinion from their respective third-party calculation agents stating that the Share Exchange Ratio is appropriate or fair from a financial perspective (a fairness opinion).
(ii) Advice from independent law firms
CUMICA has appointed TMI as its legal advisor and has received legal advice from TMI regarding the procedures for the Share Exchange and CUMICA’s decision-making methods and processes, etc. TMI is independent from both CUMICA and the Company and has no material interest with respect to CUMICA or the Company.
The Company has appointed DTL and AOS as its legal advisors and has received legal advice from DTL and AOS regarding the procedures for the Share Exchange and the Company’s decision-making methods and processes, etc. DTL and AOS are independent from both CUMICA and the Company and have no material interest with respect to CUMICA or the Company.
(e) Measures to avoid conflict of interest
Because the Company already holds 30.58% of CUMICA’s total number of issued shares, making CUMICA an equity method affiliate of the Company, and because there is a relationship between the two companies as described in 4.(13) “Relationship between the companies involved” of the Notice as of December 2, 2024, in addition to the measures in (d) above, CUMICA has taken the following measures to avoid conflict of interest.
(i) Establishment of a special committee
In response to receiving the Company’s request for the Share Exchange, on September 18, 2024, because of the risk of a structural conflict of interest with the Company, which is CUMICA’s largest shareholder that is its major shareholder and an otherwise related company and dispatches two directors to it, in relation to the Share Exchange, CUMICA, while receiving advice from its legal advisor TMI, resolved at a meeting of its board of directors held on September 24, 2024 to establish the Special Committee comprising Mr. Nobutake Nishijima and Mr. Akira Shibata, who are CUMICA’s outside directors and independent from the Company, and Mr. Noboru Araki (certified public accountant, KK Bloom Advisory) and Mr. Yoshitaka Obitsu (attorney, Socius Legal Services), who are outside experts without an interest in the Company or CUMICA, and conduct examination of the Share Exchange from a standpoint independent from the Company and CUMICA in order to eliminate the risk of arbitrariness and conflict of interest in the decision-making process for the Share Exchange by CUMICA’s board of directors, ensure the fairness of the Share Exchange, and obtain an opinion as to whether a decision by CUMICA’s board of directors to carry out the Share Exchange would be disadvantageous to minority shareholders. Furthermore, CUMICA has not changed the members of the Special Committee from the four members initially appointed to the Special Committee. In addition, each committee member will be paid fixed remuneration as consideration for their duties, irrespective of the content of the report.
Furthermore, when examining the Share Exchange, CUMICA consulted with the Special Committee on (a) matters relating to the reasonableness of the Share Exchange’s purpose (including whether the Share Exchange would contribute to the improvement of CUMICA’s corporate value), (b) matters relating to the appropriateness of the transactions terms and conditions of the Share Exchange (including the appropriateness of the implementation method of the Share Exchange), (c) matters relating to the fairness of the procedures for the Share Exchange (including examining which, and to what extent, measures to ensure fairness should be implemented), and (d) based on (a) to (c) above and other matters, whether the decision by the board of directors of CUMICA to implement the Share Exchange would be disadvantageous for minority shareholders (collectively the “Inquiry Matters”). When CUMICA’s board of directors passed its resolution establishing the Special Committee, it also resolved that ① when making the decision with respect to the Share Exchange, it would give full respect to the opinion of the Special Committee, and if the Special Committee determines that the Share Exchange is not appropriate, it would not make a decision to carry out the Share Exchange and ② CUMICA would grant the Special Committee authority to discuss and negotiate the transaction terms and conditions, etc. of the Share Exchange with the Company. At the same time, the board of directors also resolved that (i) when the Special Committee determines it to be necessary, it may appoint a chair and stipulate other matters regarding the operation of the Special Committee by a resolution of a majority of its members, (ii) the Special Committee may, at CUMICA’s expense, conduct investigations with regard to the Share Exchange (including questioning, or requesting explanations or advice from, CUMICA’s officers and employees related to the Share Exchange and CUMICA’s advisors with respect to the Share Exchange about matters necessary to examine the Inquiry Matters), (iii) the Special Committee may ① itself conduct discussions and negotiations with transaction-related parties (including, but not limited to, the Company and the Company’s advisors with respect to the Share Exchange) and ② the Special Committee may, at its judgment, cause the Company’s officers or employees (limited to those without a risk of conflict of interest) to participate in the above discussions or negotiations, (iv) if the opinion of the Special Committee on the report is not unanimous, the conclusion approved by the majority of the members shall be the content of the report, but any member with an objection to all or part of the content of such report may request that their opinion be noted in the content of the report, (v) even if, from the perspective of convenience of meeting proceedings, a meeting of the Special Committee is attended by an officer or employee of CUMICA, or an advisor of CUMICA with respect to the Share Exchange, the Special Committee may request such attendee to leave as necessary, and (vi) when recognized to be necessary, the Special Committee may, at CUMICA’s expense, appoint its own lawyer, calculation agent, certified public accountant, or other advisors, and the Special Committee may nominate or request the change of CUMICA’s advisors with respect to the Share Exchange, and may also issue necessary directions to CUMICA’s advisors.
During the period from September 25, 2024 to November 29, 2024, the Special Committee held a total of 13 meetings, and carefully examined and discussed the Inquiry Matters. Specifically, the Special Committee received explanations from CUMICA regarding the background leading to receipt of the proposal for the Share Exchange, the purpose of the Share Exchange, the business environment, business plans, and management issues, etc., and conducted written and verbal Q&A sessions. The Special Committee also received explanations from the Company regarding the background leading to and reasons for the proposal of the Share Exchange, the purpose of the Share Exchange, the overall group management policy after the Share Exchange, and the various terms and conditions of the Share Exchange, etc., and conducted written and verbal Q&A sessions. In addition, the Special Committee received explanations from CUMICA regarding the details, material assumptions, and background to preparation, etc. of business plans prepared by CUMICA, conducted Q&A sessions, and then confirmed the reasonableness thereof, and gave its approval. Additionally, the Special Committee received explanations from StandbyC regarding the reasons for the calculation methods used for calculation of the share exchange ratio and the results of the calculation of the share exchange ratio in the Share Exchange.
The Special Committee also received timely reports on the details and negotiation process, etc. from Mita Securities, which was in charge of negotiations for CUMICA, whenever CUMICA received proposals regarding the Share Exchange Ratio from the Company, and was substantially involved in the negotiation process regarding the transaction terms and conditions of the Share Exchange, such as deliberating and examining the details thereof, and giving directions and making requests to Mita Securities. In addition, the Special Committee received explanations from TMI regarding measures taken to reduce or prevent conflict of interest in the Share Exchange and regarding the Share Exchange.
With that background, the Special Committee conducted careful discussion and examination based on these explanations, the results of calculations, and other examination materials, and submitted a report dated December 1, 2024 to CUMICA to the effect that (a) it found the purpose of the Share Exchange to be reasonable (including that the Share Exchange would contribute to the improvement of CUMICA’s corporate value), (b) it found the transaction terms and conditions of the Share Exchange to be appropriate (including that the implementation method of the Share Exchange was appropriate), (c) it found the procedures for the Share Exchange to be fair (including examining which, and to what extent, measures to ensure fairness should be implemented), and (d) based on (a) to (c) above and other matters, the decision of CUMICA’s board of directors to implement the Share Exchange is not disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
(ii) Approval by directors excluding those with an interest
Among CUMICA’s five directors, Takahide Watanabe is a former director of the Company and Tomoyoshi Uranishi concurrently serves as an independent director of the Company at the present time, so from the perspective of avoiding conflict of interest, Takahide Watanabe and Tomoyoshi Uranishi have not participated in deliberations and resolutions by the CUMICA Board of Directors regarding the Share Exchange and have not participated in discussions and negotiations with the Company regarding the Share Exchange in the capacity of CUMICA.
The agenda item at the CUMICA Board of Directors regarding the Share Exchange was approved unanimously by three of the five CUMICA directors, excluding the two aforementioned directors, Takahide Watanabe and Tomoyoshi Uranishi.
(2) Reason for Choosing CUMICA shares as Consideration
The Company concluded that CUMICA shares are appropriate as consideration of the Share Exchange in light of the fact that CUMICA shares to be allotted to the shareholders of the Company through the Share Exchange will continue to be listed on the Tokyo Exchange Standard Market even after the delisting of the SYLA Shares with liquidity and cash convertibility and, therefore, the opportunity to trade shares would be ensured and the fact that shareholders of the Company to hold CUMICA shares would be able to enjoy synergy effects resulting from the Company being the wholly-owned subsidiary of CUMICA through the Share Exchange etc.
(3) Matters Concerning Appropriateness of the Amounts of Stated Capital and Reserves of CUMICA as Share Exchange Wholly-Owning Parent Company
The amounts of the stated capital and capital reserves of CUMICA to increase as result of the Share Exchange are as below. These amounts are determined, in light of financial situation, capital policy, and other factors of CUMICA, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and we believe it as appropriate.
Increase in stated capital: 0 yen
Increase in capital reserves: such amount as separately determined by CUMICA pursuant to Article 39 of the Companies Accounting Rules
Increase in retained earnings reserves: 0 yen

(Note 1) The class of underlying shares is SYLA Shares. The above table presents the number of shares to be acquired that is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of the underlying SYLA Shares per share option for each series by the number of stock acquisition rights.
(Note 2) The exercise price of a share option is the amount to be paid per share upon exercise of the share option. It may be subject to adjustment.
(Note 3) If any of the stock acquisition rights issued by SYLA that are exercisable are exercised, the number of stock acquisition rights issued by CUMICA and the number of underlying shares to be issued upon exercise of such stock acquisition rights will decrease in proportion to the number of such stock acquisition rights exercised.
(Note 4) The class of underlying shares is CUMICA Shares. The above table presents the number of shares to be acquired that is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of the underlying CUMICA Shares per share option for each series by the number of stock acquisition rights.
In the Share Exchange, as set forth in the above table, CUMICA will respectively allot Series 1 through Series 8 stock acquisition rights issued by CUMICA to the share option holders pertaining to the Series 1 and Series 4 to 10 stock acquisition rights issued by the Company as of the Reference Time for each such share option that they hold based on the details of each share option and the share exchange ratio of the Share Exchange. Please see the exhibits of the Share Exchange Agreement described in 2 “Details of the Share Exchange Agreement” above for the details of the Series 1 through Series 8 stock acquisition rights.
The time limit for exercise of the Series 3 stock acquisition rights issued by the Company is December 30, 2024, and because they will be extinguished before the Share Exchange takes effect, whether or not the stock acquisition rights are exercised, they are not subject to allotment of CUMICA’s stock acquisition rights.
Through this process, CUMICA plans to acquire in the Share Exchange the Series 1 and Series 4 to 10 stock acquisition rights issued by the Company as of the Reference Time and at the same time allot and deliver newly issued Series 1 through Series 8 CUMICA stock acquisition rights. CUMICA plans to cancel the above acquired Series 1 and Series 4 to 10 stock acquisition rights issued by the Company.
Accordingly, we concluded that the details and number of the stock acquisition rights to be issued by CUMICA are appropriate as such details and number are substantial equivalent to those of the stock acquisition rights issued by the Company.

( From June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 )
(1) Overview of business for the current fiscal year
(i) Business progress and results
During this fiscal year, there were signs of a gradual recovery in the Japanese economy as social and economic activities continued to normalize following the Covid-19 pandemic, but at the same time, there are risks of downward pressure, such as exchange rate fluctuations due to monetary policy, and in the global economy, the prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict, rising prices in the United States and Europe, and weaker-than-expected overseas economies, including China.
The real estate industry is facing an uncertain future business environment due to factors such as rising prices for construction materials and concerns about rising interest rates. However, the condominium business, a core business of the Company, performed strongly due to strong demand for housing that allows diverse lifestyles to be realized.
We have focused our activities on our mainstay Development Business and Real Estate Sales Business. In the Development Business, we sold built-for-sale condominiums within Tokyo, and in the Real Estate Sales Business, we sold multiple income-generating properties.
As a result, the Company posted net sales of 4,765 million yen (down 36.0% year on year), operating profit of 295 million yen (down 72.7% year on year), ordinary profit of 302 million yen (down 72.0% year on year), and net income of 212 million yen (down 72.2% year on year) for the fiscal year under review.
Operating results by segment are as follows.
Development Business
In the Development Business, net sales were 1,653 million yen (down 62.0% year on year) as a result of sales of built-for-sale compact apartments (mainly studio apartments in Itabashi-ku), and segment loss stood at 27 million yen (vs. segment profit of 823 million yen for the same period of the previous fiscal year).
Construction Business
In the Construction Business, net sales were 572 million yen (up 25.0% year on year), mainly for contracted construction work, and segment loss amounted to 91 million yen (vs. segment loss of 47 million yen for the same period of the previous fiscal year).
Real Estate Sales Business
In the Real Estate Sales business, net sales were 2,098 million yen (down 0.1% year on year) due to the sale of several income-generating properties and segment profit amounted to 545 million yen (up 35.2% year on year).
Other Business
In the Other Business segment, net sales were 440 million yen (down 17.8% year on year), mainly due to the brokerage and management of rental housing and real estate brokerage, and segment profit was 98 million yen (down 46.7% year on year).

Flexible efforts for the real estate development and sales businesses
The Company conducts business activities mainly in the Development Business and the Real Estate Sales Business, which are core businesses.
In the condominium industry, while it is necessary to address short-term issues such as soaring materials prices due to global instability, difficulties in procuring materials, and concerns over rising interest rates, condominium selling prices remain strong.
Under such an environment, the Company intends to capture the current strong housing demand in both the development and real estate businesses and focus on apartment building development and real estate sales in the central areas of the Tokyo metropolitan area and regional cities. To this end, we intend to leverage the Company’s financial advantages for stable and flexible purchase of properties to expand sales and profits, while also incorporating the capital efficiency of business investment into our evaluation, with a focus on management with an awareness of earning power.

(iv) Amount of Director remuneration, etc.
| a. | Policy, etc. for determining the details of officer remuneration, etc. |
The Company resolved at the Board of Directors’ meeting held on February 16, 2021 on the policy for determining the details of remuneration for individual Directors.
The details of the policy for determining the details of remuneration, etc. for individual Directors are as follows.
The Company’s basic policy is to pay remuneration to Directors as consideration for management responsibility at an appropriate level with the aim of increasing motivation to contribute to the improvement of medium- to long-term business performance that will enable the sustainable improvement of corporate value. Specifically, remuneration for Executive Directors consists solely of fixed remuneration, which is a base remuneration determined by taking into consideration the work duties and the performance and contribution in each fiscal year, and remuneration for Directors serving on the Audit and Supervisory Committee (Outside Directors), who are responsible for the supervisory function, consists solely of fixed remuneration set in advance.
The base remuneration for Executive Directors of the Company is a fixed monthly remuneration paid in cash, and is determined by the Board of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year based on the relative importance of management responsibility for work duties, performance for each fiscal year, status of achievement and degree of contribution to management policies and targets formulated each fiscal year, etc. For Directors serving on the Audit and Supervisory Committee (Outside Directors), base remuneration is a fixed amount determined in advance, determined again by the Board of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year, and paid as cash remuneration each month.
| b. | Matters concerning the delegation of details of remuneration, etc. for individual Directors Specific details of remuneration for each individual have been delegated to President and Representative Director Shinichi Sakamoto based on a resolution of the Board of Directors. The details of the authority are to determine the amount of remuneration for directors and the method of calculating it, and remuneration is determined within the range of remuneration approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders by comprehensively taking into account management policies, work duties, and status of achievement and degree of contribution to targets. The reason for delegating to the President and Representative Director is that the President and Representative Director is best suited to evaluate the responsibilities and performance of each Director while taking a bird’s-eye view of the overall performance of the Company. |
| c. | Reasons for the Board of Directors’ determination that the details of individual remuneration, etc. for the fiscal year under review are in line with the policy |
In order to ensure that such authority is properly exercised by the President and Representative Director, the Board of Directors separately consults with and obtains reports from Outside Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that the details of such authority are in line with the determination policy, as the President and Representative Director respects the report in the process of deciding the amount of remuneration, etc. for Directors.

Real estate for development | | | 1,243,302 | | | | — | |
| (ii) | Information on significant accounting estimates for identified items |
| a. | Calculation methodology |
The Company formulates a business plan for the acquired real estate at the time of acquisition and at the time of development, and reviews selling prices and construction costs, etc. each time, and evaluates real estate held for sale at the net selling price based on the above. Specifically, if an impairment loss is recorded for real estate for sale and real estate for development in the following cases, valuation loss (cost of sales) is recorded by devaluing the book value to net selling price (calculated by subtracting costs directly attributable to sales from the estimated sales amount).
| a) | For real estate for sale and real estate for development for which estimated profit at the time of sale is negative, it is expected that losses will be incurred at the time of sale, even including the sale of the relevant buildings, etc. |
| | |
| b) | For real estate for sale after a certain period of time from the month it became available for sale, the sales plan is reviewed and it is expected that losses will be incurred at the time of sale, even including the sale of buildings, etc. |
Key assumptions used in the calculation of the net selling price are based on the planned sales amount set forth in the business plan. The planned sales amount is estimated taking into account the location and scale of each property, the record of purchase transactions in surrounding areas, and the appraisal value of real estate by outside experts, and the future real estate market conditions, customer needs, expected rent, return yield, etc. are taken into consideration.
| c. | Impact on the financial statements for the following fiscal year |
If the net selling price falls below book value due to risks such as economic conditions, changes in customer needs, delays in development, and soaring construction costs, valuation losses may be recorded in the financial statements for the following fiscal year.

| | |
| b. | Management of market risk (interest rate fluctuation risk, etc.) |
| | |
| | With respect to investment securities, the Company primarily invests in shares issued by companies with which the Company has business relationships and investment partnerships, which are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the issuer’s credit risk and market price, etc., and regularly monitors the market value and financial status of the issuers.

We have audited the financial statements (“Financial Statements”), comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of changes in equity and the notes to non-consolidated financial statements, and the supplementary schedules of CUMICA Corporation as at and for the year from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 in accordance with Article 436-2-1 of the Companies Act.
In our opinion, the Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, regarding the financial position and the results of operations of the Company for the relevant period in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Basis for opinion
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion on the Financial Statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users of the Financial Statements.
In accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, throughout the audit process, we exercise professional judgment and perform the following while maintaining professional skepticism.
Other information
The other information comprises the business report and its supplementary schedules. Management is responsible for preparing and disclosing the other information. The Audit and Supervisory Committee is responsible for overseeing the performance of duties by Directors with regard to the development and operation of the reporting process for other information.
Other information is not included in the scope of our audit opinion on the Financial Statements, and we express no opinion on other information.
Our responsibility in the audit of the Financial Statements is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or knowledge we have gained through the auditing process, and to remain alert for any other indications of material error in other information.
We are required to report the facts if we determine that there is a material error in the other information based on the work we have performed.
There are no matters that we should report with respect to other statements.
Responsibilities of management and the Audit and Supervisory Committee for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan. This includes the establishment and operation of internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion on the Financial Statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users of the Financial Statements.
In accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, throughout the audit process, we exercise professional judgment and perform the following while maintaining professional skepticism.
| ● | Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and design and implement audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement. The selection and application of audit procedures is at the discretion of the auditor. In addition, we obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| | |
| ● | Examine internal control systems relevant to the audit as part of risk assessment in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances, while the objective of the audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. |
| | |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| | |
| ● | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| | |
| ● | Evaluate whether the presentation of the Financial Statements and the notes thereto are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, as well as the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
We report to the Audit and Supervisory Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit process, and other matters required by auditing standards.
We provide the Audit and Supervisory Committee with a statement that we have complied with the ethical requirements regarding independence in Japan, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, measures taken to eliminate impediments or safeguards to reduce impediments to an acceptable level.
