Consolidated Financial Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2026 (from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026) Due to the fact that the business environment surrounding our group is subject to rapid changes in the short term, it is difficult to calculate appropriate and reasonable figures for the outlook of our group's business performance, and therefore we do not disclose our business forecast.

  1. Consolidated Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2026

    1. Analysis of consolidated business results

      With the Group's mission, "'Entertainment in Real Life': Making everyday more enjoyable and wonderful through

      entertainment", the Group has been working to enrich people's everyday lives through entertainment. In the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Entertainment Business has been keeping in mind the need to enhance engagement with users in conjunction with existing titles, while also focusing on developing new titles. The Investment and Development Business has focused primarily on investment and divestment in IT-related and entertainment companies in Japan and overseas.

      As a result, consolidated results for the six months ended March 31, 2026 were Net sales of 10,088 million yen (down 28.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), Operating profit of 533 million yen (down 62.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), Ordinary profit of 1,435 million yen (down 29.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), and Profit attributable to owners of parent of 825 million yen (up 364.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

      Operating results by segment are as follows.

      1. Entertainment Business

        The Entertainment Business is responsible primarily for the development and operation of games for smartphones.

        In games for smartphones, "DRAGON QUEST WALK (planning and production: SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD., Development:

        COLOPL, Inc.)" continued to contribute to the Group's consolidated financial results. Furthermore, although the group

        implemented service operations to enhance user engagement across various titles, Net sales decreased due to a decline in sales accompanying the extension of the distribution period for some existing titles. Conversely, advertising expenses decreased due to a group-wide cost review.

        As a result, consolidated Net sales and Operating profit for the six months ended March 31, 2026 stood at 9,820 million yen (down 18.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and 655 million yen (Operating loss of 167 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year), respectively.

      2. Investment and Development Business

        The Group conducts the Investment and Development Business with a focus on investments in IT-related and entertainment companies in particular.

        The Group's funds generated income from the sale of Operational investment securities for the six months ended March 31, 2026, but this was impacted by a decrease in reaction to a large-scale project in the previous year. In addition, impairment losses were recorded on a portion of Operational investment securities held.

        As a result, consolidated Net sales and Operating loss for the six months ended March 31, 2026 stood at 268 million yen (down 86.8% from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and 123 million yen (Operating profit of 1,579 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year), respectively.

    2. Analysis of consolidated financial position

      1. Status of Assets, Liabilities and Net assets (Assets)

        Current assets as of March 31, 2026 were 60,796 million yen (down 3,474 million yen from September 30, 2025). This was mainly due to a decrease in Cash and deposits

        Non-current assets were 11,157 million yen (down 312 million yen from September 30, 2025). This was mainly due to a decrease in Investment securities.

        As a result, total assets were 71,954 million yen (down 3,787 million yen from September 30, 2025).

        (Liabilities)

        Current liabilities as of March 31, 2026 were 4,710 million yen (down 933 million yen from September 30, 2025). This was mainly due to a decrease in Accounts payable - other.

        In addition, Non-current liabilities were 700 million yen (down 456 million yen from September 30, 2025). This was mainly due to a decrease in Other non-current liabilities.

        As a result, total liabilities were 5,411 million yen (down 1,390 million yen from September 30, 2025).

        (Net assets)

        Net assets as of March 31, 2026 were 66,543 million yen (down 2,397 million yen from September 30, 2025). This was mainly due to a decrease in Retained earnings resulting from the payment of dividends.

      2. Status of cash flows

      The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the six months ended March 31, 2026 decreased 2,348 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, to 43,300 million yen.

      The status of each of the cash flow segments and contributing factors for changes during the six months ended March 31, 2026 are as follows.

      (Cash flows from operating activities)

      Net cash decreased by 82 million yen in operating activities during the six months ended March 31, 2026 (increase of 2,021 million yen during the same period of the previous fiscal year). The main cash outflow was (620) million yen in Foreign exchange losses (gains) and (613) million yen in Income taxes refund (paid), which offset 1,228 million yen in Profit before income taxes.

      (Cash flows from investing activities)

      Net cash increased by 150 million yen in investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2026 (decrease of 1,450 million yen during the same period of the previous fiscal year). The main cash inflow was 1,960 million yen in proceeds from withdrawal of time deposits and (1,290) million yen in purchase of investment securities.

      (Cash flows from financing activities)

      Net cash decreased by 2,898 million yen in financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2026 (decrease of 2,896 million yen during the same period of the previous fiscal year). The main cash outflow was (2,565) million yen in Dividends paid.

    3. Qualitative information on consolidated business forecasts

      Given significant short-term changes in the business environment surrounding the Group, the Company has difficulties in calculating the Group's earnings forecasts properly and reasonably, and therefore refrains from disclosing financial forecasts.
