1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Results

(1) Explanation of Operating Results

During the three months ended May 20, 2022 (February 21, 2022 - May 20, 2022), the Japanese economy saw its corporate activities and consumer spending remain extremely challenged as the quasi-emergency measures, which had been reapplied in January 2022, were extended to March 21, amid the prolonged influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there were signs of the economy reopening or being normalized as the spread of COVID-19 was being mitigated by widespread vaccination, the outlook remains uncertain due to a series of subsequent events, including soaring prices of crude oil and other energy resources, as well as raw materials, following the emergence of geopolitical risks such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the yen's rapid depreciation following the rise in interest rates in the U.S.

The retail industry, too, continues to be hindered by this harsh environment, primarily owing to fluctuating prices of raw materials due to the imbalance between supply and demand and the hikes in market prices, and secondly, owing to rising costs due to an upward swing in energy and labor costs. Against this backdrop, OKUWA Co., Ltd. (the "Company") has decided the slogan for the fiscal year as "Let us contribute to host communities through our business as we cope with the ever-changing social circumstances and remain true to the customer-comes-first principle." With the basic stance of responding to the ever-changing social environment and customer needs, and providing customers with food safety and security, and a prosperous life, we have worked to provide products and services that can respond to changing lifestyles with an eye on a post COVID-19 world. In addition, we have continued to thoroughly implement preventive measures against the infection at each store, and have worked to provide sales systems and services to ensure the safety of employees and earn the trust of our customers.

As for the new store openings for the period under review, we opened the Nakatsugawa Nakamura Store (Nakatsugawa-shi, Gifu) in March. As for the revitalization of existing stores, we renovated the Kishiwada Hatsuta Store (Kishiwada-shi, Osaka) in March, and both the Pare Marche Nishikani Store (Kani-shi, Gifu) and the Price Cut Matsusaka Oishi Store (Matsusaka-shi, Mie) in April. Meanwhile, in order to increase management efficiency, we closed the Sanda Store (Sanda-shi, Hyogo) and the Momoyama Store (Kinokawa- shi, Wakayama).

With regards to our consolidated subsidiaries, due to changes in consumer demand in the aftermath of the disruptions stemmed from the pandemic, OAK FOODS CO.LTD., which operates restaurants, began to show a recovery trend to post slightly higher sales, while Hiramatsu Co., Ltd., a food supermarket chain, and SUNRISE., CO. LTD., which handles the processing and delivery of agricultural and other products, both saw a decline in sales.

As a result, for the three months ended May 20, 2022, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Group") posted operating income (net sales and operating revenue) of 58,132 million yen (64,363 million yen for the corresponding period of the previous year), operating profit of 273 million yen (down by 74.1% year-on-year), and profit attributable to owners of parent of 203 million yen (down by 63.0% year-on-year).

The Company has applied the "Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition" (ASBJ Statement No. 29, March 31, 2020), etc. from the beginning of the first three months of the consolidated fiscal year under review. For details, please see "2. Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements and Primary Notes, (3) Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (Changes in accounting policies)."

(2) Explanation of Financial Position

Total assets at the end of the first three months of the consolidated fiscal year under review decreased by 3,176 million yen from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 130,337 million yen. The breakdown of the changes is as follows: a decrease of 2,838 million yen in current assets, primarily due to an increase of 1,021 million yen in merchandise and finished goods and a decrease of 3,845 million yen in cash and deposits; and a decrease of 338 million yen in non-current assets, primarily due to an increase of 957
