Risks identified by the company
Trends in the EC market
Dependence on specific services
System failures and communications issues
Risks arising from inadequate information security measures
Reason for revision or withdrawal

The plan has been revised because system contract development activity and sales in the fiscal year ending May 2026 were lower than expected, and the timing of the full-scale launch of sales related to new businesses was also delayed. With respect to the fiscal year ending May 2028 plan of ¥389 million in operating income, representing an operating margin of 9.5%, the plan has been revised to reflect the impact of the decline in system contract development sales in the fiscal year ending May 2026.
