Kahma 22 Fact Book KAHMA CO., LTD.
PROFILE Since opening its first home center in 1973, Kahma has pursued a strategy of building up a network of stores covering the Chubu Region centered on Nagoya. Rather than spread itself thinly nationwide, Kahma became the leading home center operator throughout the Chubu Region. To our customers, "Kahma" inspires confidence and is intimately associated with convenience. These attributes are very much part of our corporate mission: "To make our customers happy." Our first priority is to ensure that our customers in the Chubu Region always have a Kahma store nearby-there are over 9 Kahma stores. And we use every new store opening as an opportunity to do an even better job of satisfying the needs and aspirations of our customers. Indeed, we were one of the very first companies to establish the home center format which has become so much a part of the suburban lifestyle. And we were quick to recognize and satisfy the rising demand for gardening goods, the desire for a greater choice of interior goods, and the growing market for the renovation and improvement of residential property. Nothing makes us happier than the opportunity to meet and please lots of customers by offering a vast selection of products. "Kahma" is a Sanskrit word that expresses the will to love and create. At Kahma we are in the business of making people happy and our name expresses what makes the shopping experience we offer so special. Through a superb selection of products, we provide our customers with a sense of abundance and happiness.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT President and Director Kenji Nagashima Based on a new corporate structure, Kahma is implementing a mid-term plan to lay the foundation for stable growth in the medium to long term and to strengthen the corporate fundamentals. The plan calls for an operating margin of 5% to be attained in three years. Accordingly, Kahma has embarked on a restructuring program to achieve a low-cost operating structure through improved systems and business processes. Based on the three principles of "Strong Management," "Fast Management," and "Open Management," we are concentrating management resources on the home center operation. To this end, we transferred two operations to other companies: the drugstore operation in November 21 and the automotive products specialty store operation (the Yellow Hat Division) in March 22. We have also withdrawn from the mail order business. In the Kahma home center operation, we always endeavor to put the customer first. To foster customer confidence and patronage, we have strengthened our product lines. With the aim of offering good products at attractive prices, we have been quick to introduce new items and topical products and have broadened the merchandise mix. At the same time, we reviewed our sales floors, striving to create a shopping environment that makes it easy for customers to shop and to enrich our offering of DIY and gardening products, the mainstays of home centers. Despite a lower spend per customer, sales at existing stores rose. As a result, net sales at directly operated stores amounted to 128,831 million (16.1% of the previous year's level). Thanks to an increase in gross profit in line with the sales increase and efforts to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses through a systems review, operating income rose to 3,119 million (282.% of the previous year's level) and ordinary income was 3,337 million (227.6%). However, an extraordinary loss of 1,238 million owing to losses on write-down of stocks in financial institutions and a loss from retirement of stores resulted in net income of 1,46 million. To build an even stronger Kahma, in May 22 we concluded a basic agreement concerning an operating alliance with Daiki Co., Ltd. In this way, we are laying the foundation for further growth through such means as joint development and joint procurement of products. We will appreciate the support of shareholders and investors in these endeavors. 1
