JUNTENDO CO.,LTD.

The Company operates as a single segment in the general retail business, with home centers as its principal business. There were no significant changes in the nature of its business during the interim period, and there were no changes involving its major affiliated companies. During the interim accounting period, the economy remained on a gradual recovery trend, supported by improvements in employment and income conditions. However, the rise in crude oil and material prices amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and continued price increases for daily necessities due to rising prices led to continued weakness in consumer purchasing appetite and a tendency to defer purchases. The Company was affected by restrained purchasing in areas including daily necessities and building materials, as well as its core agricultural and gardening supplies, and overall performance remained weak.
