1.Current Status of the Company


(1) Business<br>Progress and Results

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the global economy was affected by the high global prices of commodities, which led to procurement restrictions and monetary tightening policies that weighed on economic activities. In addition, unstable international conditions persisted, and their impact on the domestic and international economies must be closely monitored.

The domestic inbound market is also recovering on the back of easing restrictions on entry and the weakening of yen. Still, the number of visitors from China remains sluggish, partly due to the zero-corona policy that lasted until December 2022.

Even under these circumstances, we are striving to further strengthen our group brand power with the recent initial public offering (the “IPO”) on the NASDAQ market in the U.S., to further improve ourselves as a company with an international perspective by the acquisition of Tokyo Lifestyle Limited in July 2022, and to use our entry into the Southeast Asian market as a springboard to entry into the global market.

As a result, the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, were 21,667,575,000 yen, representing a decrease of 15.5% as compared to the net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, was 484,152,000 yen, representing a decrease of 31.5% as compared to the operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The Company’s ordinary income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, was 192,972,000 yen, representing a decrease of 60.4% as compared to the operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

(2) Financing

The Company procured 8,150,000,000 yen in syndicated loans led by MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., to provide for working capital needs. The financing amount increased by 650,000,000 yen as compared to the total financing amount for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

(3) Significant<br>Reorganization

On July 27, 2022, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Tokyo Lifestyle Limited and Tokyo Lifestyle Limited became our wholly owned subsidiary.


(4) Capital<br> Investment

Capital investment during the period totaled 176,340,000 yen, and the main items of which are as follows:

Tokyo Lifestyle Nishikasai Branch, newly opened in June 2022.

Tokyo Lifestyle the Family Nishikawaguchi Branch, newly opened in January 2023.

(6) Tasks<br> to be undertaken by management

Amid the significant changes in the global landscape and business environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are committed to pursuing the profitability, safety, comfort, and efficiency of various stakeholders, including customers and employees, more than ever before. We are dedicated to striving towards becoming a company that can support the global economy and be worthy of listing on the NASDAQ market in the United States.

Our priority business and financial tasks to be addressed are as follows:

Improvement<br> and stabilization of financials

Through proper financial analysis, we will work to create a financial management system that enables us to quantitatively assess our company and the issues we face, and to strive for improvement.

Maintaining<br> and developing excellent human resources

As we continually accelerate our business growth, we believe that securing and developing excellent human resources is an important issue. We will continue to hire excellent human resources, both new graduates and mid-career hires, and expand our training system to develop human resources with high level knowledge and skills.

Rebuilding<br> Business Models for the Post-COVID Era

In the domestic market, we will prioritize profitability improvement through reassessing unprofitable stores, reviewing product offerings in our e-commerce business, and enhancing our online presence. In the international market, we will focus on developing our proprietary app, expanding into Southeast Asia, and fully operationalizing our overseas warehouses to improve profit margins. These efforts form the core of our business model reconstruction with a forward-looking perspective in the post-COVID era.

In order to overcome the above issues, the entire company will make a concerted effort. We would like to ask our shareholders for further guidance and encouragement.
