Factor
1) Current Net Profit
-While the Company posted an extraordinary loss of 1.074 billion yen for the damage it suffered from the flooding in Thailand, it posted an extraordinary profit of 2.610 million yen, which it received as an insurance benefit payment.

<Japan>
-While sales in Japan of facilities for dies and welding equipment sold to its subsidiary and affiliate companies increased, sales overall were lower year-on-year due to the sluggish production levels of automotive frames from the summer season and after, and to the shift in demand for mini-car. Operating revenue fell 9.6% year-on-year. On the other hand, due to the Company's effective cost-cutting initiatives, it was able to increase its operating profit by 107.2% year-on-year.

<Europe, North America>
-Record-breaking production levels of the Company's products in North America, which resulted from strong automotive sales at OEMs, contributed to the increase in operating revenue for the year. In addition, favorable currency translation also helped increase operating revenue, which was a 54.0% rise. Operating profit rose 910.6% year-on-year in spite of the higher expenses incurred to increase production volume.

<China>
-Production levels rose through the third quarter, which were supported by greater automotive demand. However, operating revenue decreased 6.5% year-on-year, and operating profit decreased 1.4% year-on-year, due to the huge drop in production levels starting from the fourth quarter because of the tense situation between Japan and China.

<Asia, Oceania>
-H-one Parts (Thailand) Co., Ltd. started full commercial production from April, after having suffered damage from the flooding in the country. Production reached record-breaking levels between the second to fourth quarters. As a result, operating revenue increased 82.0% year-on-year. On the other hand, the region recorded an operating loss of 460 million yen (compared with a loss of 271 million yen during the previous fiscal year), due to the huge amount of expenses incurred to increase production volume, as well as the high initial costs for launching production at H-one Parts Sriracha Co., Ltd., even though it was awarded a lot of program business one after the other. Its addition to the scope of consolidated results since the last reporting period had a negative impact on the financial results of this fiscal year.

Joint Ventures

-On October 31, The Company and G-TEKT Corp. announced that they will jointly invest to establish a new company in Indonesia in December. This is a move to respond to their leading customer, Honda expanding its business. The new facility to produce body structural parts will be built at the Bukit Indah Industrial Park, Karawang, Jawa Barat. The fifty-fifty joint venture will be capitalized at about 600 million yen. Mass production is scheduled to begin with the welding process only in August 2013. Stamping parts will be procured from the subsidiary of G-TEKT or local suppliers in Indonesia.

-The Company and G-TEKT Corp. announced that they will establish a 50-50 joint venture, which will manufacture and sell automotive components, in Mexico. The new subsidiary is named G-One Auto Parts de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., capitalized at approximately 20 million USD, is expected to be operational in January 2014.

Contracts

-The Company has won a contract to supply body frame parts for Suzuki's compact vehicles built in Thailand. H-One supplies its products to Honda, Daihatsu, Hino, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors, but this is the first time for it to deal with Suzuki Motor. Starting in the spring of 2014, H-One will deliver front side members, its major products, and other four stamped components. These products will be made from lightweight and high-tensile materials of 780MPa-class as well as 980MPa-class with ultra-high strength levels. Production will be handled at H-One Parts Sriracha Co., Ltd. (HPS), H-One's new subsidiary in southern Thailand that started operations in 2011. In preparation for the new program, HPS will enhance its die-making and welding lines, while installing a new, 2,500-ton transfer press machine for operation launch in 2015. Expecting further growth in demand in the future, the subsidiary has already acquired about 120,000 square meters of land adjacent to its existing facility that has an area of approximately 64,000 square meters.
