1. Qualitative information relating to the quarterly results (1) Description of operating results Japan s economy seemed to recover, particularly in export-related companies, during the first three quarters of the consolidated fiscal year under review. This was due to the ongoing weak yen trend and high stock prices brought about by the government s monetary easing measures and other economic policies. Most of us, however, are still unable to feel the effects of the economic recovery because the future of overseas economic situations is uncertain, with economic malaise in developing companies, and the downturn of domestic economy is a concern as a result of the increased cost of raw materials, due to the weakening yen. Extremely severe situations have continued in our group in terms of management, with levels of consumer spending barely recovering. Within such an environment, we have expanded our activities in various business segments in order to earn the appreciation of customers, based on the Watami Group slogan, "To collect the most 'Thank You' on the planet." The results of each business segment are as follows. 1 Domestic Restaurant Business In our domestic restaurant business, we opened 16 new restaurants. On the other hand, we closed 13 restaurants, so the number of restaurants as of the end of this consolidated third quarter stands at 643. Continuing since the previous fiscal year, in an attempt to maintain the competitive edge of our restaurants, we renovated 28 restaurants, the majority of which are ZaWatami and Watamin-chi restaurants. However, due to the ongoing severe business environment, consolidated net sales for existing restaurants for this period is 93.8% year on year. As a result, net sales for the domestic restaurant business were 52,948 million yen (95.3% compared with the same period of the previous year) and segment losses were 76 million yen (profits of 2,480 million yen for the same period of the previous year).

2 Caregiving Business In our caregiving business, 9 facilities were newly opened and the total number of residents in all facilities exceeded 6,200. We have a total of 101 facilities at the end of this consolidated third quarter. Moreover, giving first priority to the residents satisfaction, we are constantly trying to improve our caregiving service by upgrading meals, making efforts for four major zeros (zero diapers, zero tube feeding, zero special baths and zero wheelchairs) and enhancing various activities with the goal of reinforcing the Watami brand. However, it remained new resident number falls below expectations, regarding the occupancy rate for existing facilities was 85.4% at the end of this consolidated third quarter. Net sales for the caregiving business were 26,404 million yen (105.7% compared with the same period of the previous year) and segment profits were 3,027 million yen (79.3% compared with the same period of the previous year). 3 Home-Meals Business In our home-meals business, 96 sales outlets were newly opened, so the number of our sales outlets as of the end of this consolidated third quarter stands at 527. In an elderly person food delivery to home market, it becomes sales share No.1 and has a large number of customers support it. However, as a great number of competitors have joined the home-meals market, we are forced to fiercely compete for customers. The number of cooked meals delivered per weekday as of the last week of December was 271,000, an increase of only 18,000 compared with the same period of the previous year. Net sales for the home-meals business came in at 32,914 million yen (113.7% compared with the same period of the previous year) and segment profits were 2,765 million yen (127.0% compared with the same period of the previous year). 4 Other Businesses (including overseas restaurant, agricultural and environmental businesses) In our overseas restaurant business, we opened 15 new restaurants. On the other hand, we closed 2 restaurants, so the number of restaurants as of the end of this consolidated third quarter stands at 94. We will continue to make efforts to expand our restaurant development, including franchising, and to establish new business models such as Watei and Kitchen J.

In our agricultural business, we are continuously making efforts to increase the added values of agricultural products by developing menus, as well as through incorporation of the manufacturing and processing sections for streamlining. In our environmental business, we are trying to further strengthen our efforts for reduction of environmental loads through our environmental improvement business, including garbage composting and other recycling services, and our renewable energy business based on wind-power generation. Net sales for other businesses (including the overseas restaurant, agricultural and environmental businesses) were 10,880 million yen (144.7% compared with the same period of the previous year) and segment profits were 250 million yen (112.1% compared with the same period of the previous year). As a result of the above measures, the consolidated net sales of the corporate group for the first three quarters of the consolidated fiscal year were 123,147 million yen (an increase of 5.2% compared to the same period last year), the operating income was 4,085 million yen (a decrease of 40.3% compared to the same period last year), the ordinary income was 3,511 million yen (a decrease of 40.6% compared to the same period last year) and the net income was 957 million yen (a decrease of 63.9% compared to the same period last year).
