(Notes on segment information, etc.) Segment Information

  1. Overview of Reporting Segments

    The USS Group's Reporting segment is a component of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for which segregated financial information is available and is subject to periodic review by the Board of Directors in order to determine the allocation of management resources and evaluate performance.

    The USS Group operates auto auctions, provides various services related to auto auctions, sales and purchases used vehicle, and recycles businesses, and formulates strategies for each type of business.

    Therefore, we have three reporting segments: "Auto Auction," " Used Vehicle Sales/Purchases," and "Recycling."

    The main business of "Auto Auction" is the operation of auto auctions with used car dealers as members, the operation of motorcycle auctions with used motorcycle dealers as members, auto auction connection services via dedicated terminals (USS JAPAN) and the Internet (CIS), the provision of used car information services, and the land transportation agency of vehicles exhibited at auto auctions and successful bidders. We provide financial services for auto auction members.

    The main business of " Used Vehicle Sales/Purchases" is the purchase and sale of used vehicles and vehicles that have been in the condition of an accident.

    The main businesses of "Recycling" are the recycling business of scrap cars and metal scrap, and the main contracting business for the disposal of equipment and plants.

  2. Method of calculating the amount of sales, profits or losses, assets, liabilities and other items for each reporting segment

    The method of accounting for the reported business segments is in accordance with the accounting policy adopted to prepare consolidated financial statements. Profit in the reporting segment is a figure based on operating income.

    Internal revenues and transfers between segments are based on prevailing market prices.
