Qualitative information on the quarterly financial results Explanation regarding the operating results Japan's economy during the consolidated cumulative period of the third quarter continued to recover gradually up to the second half-yearly consolidated cumulative period; personal consumption also improved with a steady employment and income environment, but it is getting affected by the massive spread of the n - COVID infection during the consolidated cumulative period of the third quarter and it is facing downward pressure of the background. The economic environment remains unclear as a weak movement is seen in the individual consumption. Even in the domestic automotive market, a part of automobile manufacturers are adjusting production and even the total number of new vehicles sales decreased 93.7% (statistical data of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) as compared to the consolidated cumulative period of the same quarter from the previous year (hereinafter referred to as the same quarter from the previous year). The first quarterly consolidated cumulative period ratio to the same period of the previous year stood at 108.1 % as rush demand prior to the rise in consumption tax is observed and as against this, there was a massive reduction in the second quarterly consolidated cumulative period ratio to the same period of the previous year standing at 83.7 % due to effect of reaction to rush demand and natural disaster. The third quarterly consolidated cumulative period ratio to the same period of the previous year stood at 89.8 % due to effect of spread of n - COVID infection in addition to continuation of decline in motivation of consumption due to the rise in tax therefore 2-digit reduction continues at two consecutive quarters. The number of registered used cars has continued with the same trend. However, this has stopped at slight reduction of quarterly ratio of 99.5 % as compared to the previous year. On the other hand, the business environment of the logistics industry is in serious circumstances with insufficient drivers due to the background of a strained supply and demand in the labor market as well as cost increase factors such as increased wages, increased hiring costs, and compliance response. Under these circumstances, in the 3-yearmid-term plan from July of 2018 until June of 2021 devised by our group, and are proceeding with the following 5 topics: (1)development of new businesses in anticipation of a reduction of the domestic automobile market and next generation mobility society, (2) Expansion of human resources business corresponding to the strained supply and demand in the labor market and decreasing working age population, (3) Expansion of overseas business in anticipation of economic growth such as in ASEAN countries, (4) Maximization of effect to establish regional block companies through promotion of transportation reform in the vehicle transportation business, and (5) Creation of group synergy, including subsidiaries and cooperating companies and promotion of optimization. As a result, the business results of our group are as follows: sales revenue of 718,09 million yen (107.3% compared to the same quarter from the previous year) and operating profit of 3,439 million yen (158.1% compared to the same quarter from the previous year). In addition, the profit before taxes was 3,453 million yen (159.4 % compared to the same quarter from the previous year), and the profit of the quarter attributable to the equity shareholders of the company was 2,274 million yen (ratio of same quarter from the previous year of 256.0 %).

Automobile related businesses For vehicle transportation, which is the core business, sale for Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. reduced with slump in sales of the vehicles. However, yield increased due to proactive sales activity against the major used-cars dealers in addition to start of Mitsubishi Motors' vehicle transportation business in the middle of August of 2019. There was an overall increase in revenue for automotive-related businesses due to the favorable transition of the used vehicle export business for Malaysia as well as vehicle transportation business. The restructuring of the transportation system including cooperating companies has been accelerated with the impetus of establishment of regional block companies in the vehicle transportation business, and thorough implementation of cost management is being conducted while aiming to achieve a systematic allocation and optimum distribution network throughout Japan. Profits increased in the automotive business due to the revision of transportation charges from January of 2019,review of the depreciation period of car carriers to match the actual life expectancy, and drop in unit price of fuel expenses compared to the same period of the previous year, in the midst of business challenges such as promoting initiatives for work style reforms to create forwarding company and decrease the total work hours, increased labor costs and recruitment costs to deal with driver shortages, and increased vehicle costs due to the increased number of vehicles and the measures against aging of car carriers. As a result, the overall sales revenue in the automobile related businesses was 52,432 million yen (107.4 % compared to the same period from the previous year), and the segment profit was 4,525 million yen (147.5 % compared to the same quarter from the previous year). Human resource business With tightening of the labor demand accompanying the economic recovery and increasing personnel expenses, the difficulty in employment in major cities has become a serious matter; therefore, the Group has promoted a regional shift from the major cities to smaller cities and reinforcement of the sales system, and has reviewed its product portfolio strategically and continuously. In addition to the fact that the existing pick up service and driver dispatch business have transitioned steadily, participation in the newly entered airport related business, and the fact that transient job listing advertising costs are no longer necessary has increased revenue; and profit has increased with the restructuring of non-profitable business and cost reduction. As a result, the sales revenue of the overall human resource business was 14,491 million yen (105.0% compared to the same quarter from the previous year), and the segment profit was 684 million yen (285.6 % compared to the same quarter from the previous year). General cargo business Revenue in the transport / warehousing business increased due to the increased cargo volume from the last minute surge in demand of the consumption tax rate, from clients that were mainly handling household equipment. However, the revenue in the port cargo handling business reduced due to reduction in coal and automobile-related cargo. Furthermore, the CKD business was launched and contributed to the sales revenue increase, increasing the revenue in the overall general cargo business as well. Profit increased with the increased revenue in the transport / warehousing business, but revenue decreased in the port cargo business due to reduced revenue. Furthermore, expenses related to the launch of the CKD business have continued, and there was a significant decrease overall in profit in the general cargo business. As a result of the above, the sales revenue of the overall general cargo business was 4,885 million yen (112.5% compared to the same quarter of the previous year), and the segment loss was 277 million yen (segment profit of 413 million yen in the same quarter of the previous year). Furthermore, the company expenses not included in the abovementioned report segment (expenses affiliated with our company's management division), etc. are allocated as an item in the "adjustment amount" as indicated in "2. (Segment information) in the summary of consolidated statements for the quarter," and totaled 1,491 million yen. Explanation regarding financial position ① Status of assets, liabilities, and equity (Assets) Current assets increased 2,860 million yen (15.7 %) compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year and were 21,038 million yen. This was mainly because, other current assets decreased 261 million yen, but the operating receivables and other receivables increased by 2,854 million yen. Non-current assets increased by 4,971 million yen (23.3 %) compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 26,348 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase of tangible fixed assets of 5,334 million yen resulting from an increase of assets of right to use, etc. As a result, total assets increased by 7,831 million yen (19.8 %) compared to the previous consolidated fiscal year to 47,386 million yen. (Liabilities) Current liabilities increased 4,341 million yen (34.6 %) compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 16,903 million yen. 3 － This was mainly due to accrued income tax decreasing by 256 million yen, while short-term borrowings increased by 2,067 million yen, and other financial liabilities increased by 2,171 million yen due to an increase of lease liabilities. Non-current liabilities increased by 1,967 million yen (50.2 %) compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 5,888 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase of 2,219 million yen in other financial liabilities due to lease liabilities, etc. As a result, total liabilities increased by 6,309 million yen (38.3 %) compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 22,791 million yen. (Equity) Total equity increased by 1,522 million yen (6.6 %) compared to the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year to 24,595 million yen. This is mainly because retained earnings increased by 1,637 million yen due to the recording of quarterly profits attributable to equity shareholders of the company. ② Cash flow status Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter referred to as "funds") at the end of the consolidated accounting period of the third quarter increased by 213 million yen compared to the end of the previous consolidated accounting fiscal year to 3,679 million yen. Each cash flow status category during the consolidated cumulative period of the third quarter and their causes are as follows. (Cash flow through operating activities) Funds obtained from operating activities were 2,731 million yen (there were expenditures of 1,410 million yen during the same period of the previous year). The main cause of the increase in funds were 2,285 million for profit from quarterly profits and 3,119 million yen for depreciation and amortization expenses which are non-fund expenses; the main cause of the decrease in funds was increased amount of trade receivables of 2,418 million yen and 1,327 million yen for payment of corporate income. To compare this with consolidated cumulative period of the previous third quarter, depreciation and amortization have increased due to the adoption of IFRS16 "lease", etc. (Cash flow through investment activities) Net cash used in investment activities was 1,510 million yen (expenditures of 1,665 million yen during the same period of the previous year). The main itemization breakdown for expenditures was 1,371 million yen for acquisition of tangible fixed assets and investment property. (Cash flow through financial activities) Funds used due to financing activities were 1,006 million yen (income of 1,632 million yen in the previous year). The main itemization breakdown for income was 2,100 million yen for short-term borrowings, and the main itemization breakdown for expenditures were 2,406 million yen lease liabilities payments and 593 million for dividends. To compare this with consolidated cumulative period of the previous third quarter, expenditures due to lease liability payments (payment of finance / lease liabilities for the consolidated cumulative period of the previous third quarter) have increased due to the adoption of IFRS16 "lease", etc. Explanation regarding the future forecast information such as consolidated business forecast We have not made any amendments to the consolidated forecast announced on August 8, 2019. However sense of uncertainty about the future heightens, since as for the effect of spread of n-COVID infection April 2020 onwards when the situation such as declaration of emergency situation deepened, no. of vehicles sold in Japan will drop and no. of vehicle transportation contracts will also drop along with increased production adjustment by domestic automobile manufacturers and confinement (lockdown). Our full-year forecast based on our best estimate as of this reporting remains unchanged, but if any significant changes of the circumstance happen we will make announcements in a proper manner. － 4 － 2.

(Changes in accounting policies) The important company policies that our group applies to this quarterly consolidated financial statement summary will be the same company policies applicable to the consolidated financial statements of the previous consolidated accounting year excluding the below. Application of IFRS No. 16 (lease) Our group has applied the following standards starting from the first quarter of the consolidated accounting period. Standard Name of the standard Summary IFRSNo. 16 Lease Definition of lease and revision of accounting process In the application of IFRS No. 16 "Lease (announced in January of 2016, hereinafter referred to as IFRS No. 16), a method which is approved as a transitional measure that recognizes the cumulative amount of financial impact due to the application of this standard to be recognized on the day the application is started(retroactive revision approach), is being adopted. Therefore, revised comparison information is not shown again, and the cumulative effect of the application of IFRS No. 16 is recognized on the initial application date, which is July 1, 2019. In the previous consolidated accounting year, our group has classified all substantial risks and lease contracts with economic benefit as finance lease. Lease assets are initially recognized at the fair value or the current value of the total amount of minimum payment lease fee. Lease contracts other than finance leases are classified as operating leases and are not appropriated in the consolidated statement of affairs of our group. The payment lease fee of operating leases is recognized as an expense throughout the lease period based on the straight-line method. During this consolidated accounting year, our group did not categorize borrower leases as finance leases or operating leases, in accordance with IFRS No. 16, Our group introduced a single accounting model, and has recognized lease debts which show the obligation to pay the right-of-use asset and lease fee, which show the right to use the underlying assets as a general rule for all leases; excluding cases of short term leases with a lease period shorter than 12 months or small amount assets leases. Accompanying the application of IFRS No. 16, for borrower lease transactions, our group has measured the right to use asset at acquisition cost and the lease debt at the current value of the total amount of unpaid lease fees at the lease commencement date. The acquisition cost of the right to use asset is initially measured by adjusting the prepaid lease payment, etc. to the initial measured amount of the lease debt. In the summary of consolidated financial status statement for the quarter, the right-of-use asset is shown as included in the "tangible fixed assets," and the lease debt is included in the "other financial debts. "The depreciation of the right-of-use assets and interest costs related to the lease debt are appropriated after recognizing the right-of-use assets and the lease debts. Our group estimates the lease period of the right-of-use asset by adding a reasonably certain time period in which executing an option to extend the lease or executing an option to cancel the lease will not be exercised during the irrevocability period of the lease. In addition, the discount rate applied to the lease debts related to the applicable right-of-use assets utilize the borrowing interest rate of the borrower. The right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful life period of the underlying asset if the ownership of the underlying asset is to be transferred to the borrower, over the shorter of either the useful life period or the lease period for other cases. In addition, our group utilizes the following practical expedients in applying the IFRS No. 16. Regarding leases in which the lease period is to be concluded within 12 months of the application start date, the same accounting process method of short-term leases Exclude the initial direct cost from the measurement of right-of use as of the date of initial application Carry over the past decision of whether the transaction is a lease or not for the contracts signed before the previous consolidated accounting year Utilize ex post facto decisions in the case of calculating the lease period for contracts which include extension or cancellation options (2) Effect on the summary of the consolidated financial statements of the quarter For the company group, 8,871million yen for right-of-use assets and 8,720 million yen for lease debts are appropriated in the summary of consolidated financial status statements for this quarter on July 1, 2019. This is mainly an influence of the lease fee classified as an operating lease in IAS No. 17being appropriated as an asset and debt upon application of IFRS No. 16. Furthermore, there is no effect on the accumulated earnings at the beginning of the term because right-of-use assets that is the same amount as the lease debts (however, advance lease fee is revised) is recognized when the lease debt is recognized. The average of the added borrowing interest applied to the lease debts at the time of the application start date was 0.2%. － 12 － In addition, the cash flow due to sales activities increased, and the cash flow due to financial activities decreased in conjunction with the change, etc. of display in the operating lease cost.
