1. Overview of Operating Results for the Fiscal Year under Review
   During the fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy was hit by a rapid deterioration in the economic environment due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the first half of the year, but it gradually began to show signs of recovery in the second half. However, in January 2021, a state of emergency was again declared in some areas of Japan, and the situation continued to be extremely severe with no time frame for the containment of the disease in sight, as there were concerns about a rebound in infections even after the lifting of the state-of-emergency declaration.
   Overseas, although China and North America were able to emerge from the economic stagnation caused by COVID-19 at a relatively early stage, there are still areas where the timing of its containment is unclear, and the outlook is extremely uncertain.
   Under these circumstances, the Group strove to enhance its corporate value by promoting the basic policies set forth in the 14th medium-term business plan "Accomplish V-20" (a plan for the three years from April 2018 to March 2021): (1) Rapid development and market introduction of new technologies, new products, and new businesses, (2) Securing and fostering global human resources who will forge the present and future of the Group, and (3) Building a global structure for safety, quality and CSR activities.
   In addition, in response to the rapid changes in the business environment caused by COVID-19, we implemented flexible work support between sites by utilizing surplus time for education and training. At the same time, we strove to reduce costs by cutting expenditures, such as through reviewing equipment investment plans and curbing business trips.
   Although orders recovered steadily from the latter half of the fiscal year under review, the decrease in orders due to COVID-19 in the first half of the year had a significant impact. As a result, net sales for the fiscal year under review were ¥42,567 million (down 12.8% year on year). Operating income was ¥920 million (down 55.9% year on year) due to the decrease in net sales, despite efforts to reduce costs. Ordinary income was ¥1,475 million (down 28.8% year on year). Profit attributable to owners of parent was ¥268 million (up 7.0% year on year), mainly due to the recording of gain on sales of investment securities, despite the recording of impairment loss on goodwill of Korea Neturen Co., Ltd.

Results by business segment are as follows.

1. Specialty Steel and Wire Products Division
   Net sales of civil engineering and construction-related products increased slightly year on year, as sales volume was secured despite the postponement of construction work due to the spread of COVID-19.
   Net sales of automobiles-related products decreased significantly year on year due to the significant impact of the global market slowdown caused by the spread of COVID-19 in the first half of the fiscal year under review.
   Net sales of construction equipment-related products increased year on year, mainly due to increased sales volume in China, where recovery was quicker, despite the impact of the global market slowdown caused by the spread of COVID-19.
   As a result, although business conditions have been steadily recovering, the sharp drop in orders in the first half of the fiscal year had a significant impact, resulting in net sales of ¥24,537 million (down 7.5% year on year). However, operating income was ¥685 million (up 27.8% year on year) as a result of the recovery in the Chinese market and the efforts to cut costs.
2. Induction Heating Division
   Net sales of induction heat treatment-related services decreased year on year due to the significant impact of the market slowdown caused by the spread of COVID-19 in major industries such as automobiles, machine tools, and construction machinery in the first half of the fiscal year under review.
   Net sales of induction heating equipment and related services decreased significantly year on year due to a
