Message From The Management

I Business Review

1. Developments and accomplishments in busi-ness services by the Group

In this consolidated fiscal year under review, although there was demand fueled by recon-struction projects due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and recovery in corporate productiv-ity was seen, there are still plenty of reasons for concern, including the worldwide economic stagna-tion brought about by the European Debt Crisis, the prolonged deflationary trend and the continu-ing severe employment environment, as well as the yen appreciation and sharp rise in crude oil prices, and the extremely severe situation continued.

Meanwhile, in the logistics industry as well, environment has continued to be extremely severe.

Transportation volume of international cargo remained at the same level due to a decrease of export cargo, despite a steady trend of import cargo. Moreover, domestic cargo transport was affected seriously by the Great East Japan Earthquake, with a continuing decline that shows no signs of a bottom in the weak recovery of pro-duction and consumption after the disaster, and on top of that there has been the continuing spike in the price of fuel for trucking.

In these circumstances, the Company Group formulated its 4th Medium-term Management Program for the three years starting FY2010, and has been implementing this program. In this consolidated fiscal year, as the second year of the Program, based on the focal measures: (1) growth in sales, (2) maintenance and improvement of logis-tics quality, and (3) reinforcement of corporate infrastructure; the Company named enhancement of efforts for “expansion of sales through 3PL (third party logistics: logistics bulk original con-tracting business) business, global logistics busi-ness and diversification of customer industries” as guiding principles, and also established a new Logistics Quality Environment Department in April last year, thus steadily executing the second-

year tasks with group-wide efforts to improve logistics and environmental quality, in working to achieve its earnings target.

As a result, consolidated sales for this fiscal year totaled JPY 87,121 million, a 1.8% increase from the preceding term, operating income totaled JPY 4,213 million, up 14.9% over the preceding term, and ordinary income totaled JPY 4,683 mil-lion, up 17.3% year-on-year. Net income increased by 44.7% year-on-year, to JPY 2,654 million, due to the fact that in the preceding fiscal year large amount of valuation loss on investment securi-ties and disaster losses due to the East Japan Earthquake Disaster were recorded.

The business conditions for each segment are as follows:

Logistics Operations For freight transportation operations, there was

an overall increase in revenue, with an increase in the volume of transport handled in the Kanto region due to an increase in handling of exports of construction equipment products and parts, despite a decrease in production by customers as a result of the Great Earthquake and a decrease in resin-related handling, as well as an increase in the volume of transport handled for chemical paints and daily miscellaneous goods, etc. in the Kansai Region.

In harbor transportation operations there was an overall increase in revenue. In the Kanto region, although the deterioration in nonferrous metal market conditions was very significant and there was a decrease in importing volume handled, there were increases in handling of exports related to construction machinery products and parts, and imports and exports of housing construction mate-rials. In addition, there was an increase in the han-dling of machine tool relocation operations oriented to China.

2

In warehousing operations, in the Kanto region, there was a drastic decrease in import volume han-dled due to the deterioration of nonferrous metal market conditions, resulting in a huge decrease in both storage volume and operations, and also a severe decrease in air cargo storage handling, how-ever there was an increase in handling of carbon raw materials, food salts, and construction machin-ery related handling, etc. In the Chubu Region as well, the volume of plastics and nursing care goods, etc. handling increased, and after all there was an overall increase in revenue.

In train transportation operations there was in an overall increase in revenue due to increased JR container handling volumes such as for insulation materials, etc. in the Kanto region.

In other business operations incidental to logistics, there was an overall decrease: there was an increase in coasting vessel revenues, with increased handling of cereals. In oceangoing vessel revenues, due to a decrease in nonferrous metal import handling, revenue decreased. In aircraft revenues, there was an increase as a result of the shifting of plant-related handing from marine trans-portation to aircraft transportation; while in pack-aging revenues, there was dramatic decrease in revenues due to a decrease in operational volume as a result of the Great Earthquake, changes in the system of charges, and decreased handling of video-related equipment.

Yard Operations and Mechanical Cargo Handling In yard operations, although there was a

decrease in handling due to downsizing of resi-dential equipment related operations and transfer in the Chubu region, there was an increase in new orders received and in handling volume for construction machinery related assembly opera-tions in the Kanto region, as well as an increase in operational volume accompanying restoration from the Great Earthquake, and as a result revenue increased overall.

In mechanical cargo handling there was an increase in revenue due to increase in crane proj-

ects.

Other Operations In construction operations there was a dramatic increase in revenue due to large-scale relocation projects in the Kanto region. In real estate rental revenues, there was a decrease due to the comple-tion of contracts in the Kansai region.

2. Issues to be Addressed The Japanese economy seems to be still in an

unpredictable situation due to concern over the worldwide economic slowdown, the crude oil cost increase and the prolonged appreciation of the yen.

In this environment, the Group is in the final year of the 4th Medium-term Management Program, aiming at circulation of the growth cycle,

“reinforcement of infrastructure, improvements of quality and expansion of sales” towards "over 100 billion yen in consolidated sales." It is predicted that the prolonged yen appreciation will drive overseas relocation or overseas procurement by corporations, but the Group aims to create a cor-porate culture that can handle fluctuating circum-stances flexibly and properly without becoming optimistic or pessimistic over short-term changes. For this goal, all workers of the Group will make concerted efforts by taxing their ingenuity, work-ing hard on focal measures, and making the utmost efforts to achieve "over 100 billion yen in consoli-dated sales" at an early stage.

Maruzen Showa Unyu Co., Ltd. commenced harbor cargo transportation services in Yokohama in 1931. Subsequently establishing operations centers based in the major cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, etc., respective licenses were suc-cessively secured for the conducting of domestic transportation services which have continued to expand, year after year. Today there are 169 busi-ness offices throughout Japan and we are also operating 41 domestic subsidiary companies in related operations. Overseas subsidiary corporations have been established in Hongkong and Los Angeles in the U.S. in 1974. An office for a representative has

been opened in Beijing in 1985. The Taiwan office in Taipeh has been replaced in 1996 by a local corpo-ration under the name of Taisho Co., Ltd. A second office for a representative has now been opened in China, this time in Shanghai in 1995. In 1996, a local entity was established in Singapore as ‘Maruzen Showa Singapore Pte. Ltd.’ In 1997, a local entity was established in Xuzhou, China as “Xuzhou Maruzen Foreign Trade Transportation Co., Ltd.” In 2006 Maruzen Showa (GZ) Co.,Ltd~in Guanydong,China. These overseas offices reflect our objective to achieve “upgraded transportation services by sea, land and air” on a global basis.

These operations utilize trucks for regional cargo transportation within and between the vari-ous districts or areas, to fully utilize their advan-tage in speed. Our organization, besides providing cargo transportation services between and within the large cities of Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, etc. operates long distance trucking services to every possible location throughout the country.Our trucking operations also provide door to door package delivery services and domestic moving services. The operations are in fact, the largest of our varied company services which have evolved from

the growth and development from our warehouses and distribution centers, and by linking up to the harbor cargo transportation services, railway express agency services, domestic maritime and air cargo services, detailed and diversified trans-portation services are made available to all of our customers. The cargo handling equipment and facilities retained for these operations as of the 31st March 2012 consisted of 17 truck terminals and 997 units of trucks, tank lorries, trailers, etc. (inclusive of all subsidiaries and affiliates.)

MARUZEN SHOWA UNYU CO., LTD.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2012 and 2011

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 24 and 24 significant subsidiaries at March 31,2012 and 2011, respectively.All significant intercompany accounts and transactions unrealized profit among Companies if any, have been

eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.Some subsidiaries, which has no material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Companies, has been excluded from the consolidated financial statements.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of presenting the consolidated financial statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounts maintained by Maruzen Showa Unyu Co., Ltd. (the "Companies")and consolidiaries in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Commercial Code (the "Code") and in conformity with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain

respects as to application and disclosure requirements from that of International Accounting Standards.The consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than Japan.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The Company has provided for doubtful accounts at the maximum deductible amount for tax purposes, plus an

additional amount as deemed necessary. (c) AIlowance for doubtful accounts

Supplies are stated at cost, determined by the last method, other inventories are stated, determined by the

individually identified cost method. (d) Inventories

Previously, finance leases that do not transfer the ownership of the leased property to the lessee at the expiration of the lease were recorded as operating leases, however, since “Accounting Standards for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Statement No. 13 (June 17, 1993 (the First Subcommittee of Business Accounting Council), revised on March 30, 2007)) and “Financial Guidance on Accounting Standards for Lease Transactions” (ASBJ Guidance No. 16 (January 18, 1994 (Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Accounting Standards Committee), revised on March 30, 2007)) began to be applied pertaining to fiscal years starting on or after

April 1, 2008, our Group adopted these new accounting standards from the current fiscal year, and we have accounted for lease transactions as ordinary sales and purchase transactions. Note that for finance leases that do not transfer the ownership of the leased property to the lessee at the expiration of the lease, with transaction commencement dates before the initial year of adoption of these standards, the previous method of operating lease accounting has continued to be used.There was no impact from this change on income for the current fiscal year.

(f) Accounting Standards for Lease Transactions

① Tangible fixed assetsThe declining-balance method is mainly applied; provided, however, that the straight-line method is applied to buildings that the Company acquired on or

after April 1, 1998 (excluding building equipment). Main service lives are as follows: Buildings and structures 2 to 65 years Machinery and equipment 2 to 17 years

(e) Depreciation methods for significant depreciable assets

② Significant changes in accounting principlesUseful lives for machinery and equipment of the Company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries were changed to those in conformance with the present asset use status, as a result of the revisions of Corporation Tax Law in FY2008.

Consequently, useful life for overall machinery and equipment, which is 2-17 years, was not changed, however, depending on the type of the asset, useful life has been extended.

The Law on Partial Revision of the Income Tax Law to Construct a Tax System That Responds to Changes in the Business World (Law No. 114, 2011) and the Law on Special Measures to Secure Funding to Implement Reconstruction Measures in the Wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake (Law No. 117, 2011) were promulgated on December 2, 2011. These provisions lower the corporate tax rate and levy a special corporate tax for reconstruction for consolidated accounting years beginning on or after April 1, 2012. With these revisions, a temporary change applies in the normal effective statutory tax rate used to calculate deferred-tax assets and deferred-tax liabilities. This temporary change applies from the consolidated accounting year beginning on or after April 1, 2012, reducing the rate from 40.6% to 37.9%, until the consolidated accounting year beginning on or after April 1, 2014, when it is expected to be cancelled. A temporary change to 35.5% applies at this point, and is expected to be cancelled for the consolidated accounting year beginning on or after April 1, 2015.

As a result of these changes in tax rates, the amount of deferred-tax liabilities (the amount deducted from deferred-tax assets) is reduced by ¥180 million; the amount of corporate-tax and other adjustments is reduced by ¥53 million; and the balance of losses on revaluation of other marketable securities is increased by ¥126 million.
