audit(2)Business Restriction, Pros and Cons Caused by Being in Affiliated Company Groups
Our group runs businesses different from the affiliated company groups. In addition, ourtransaction volume with the affiliated company groups is minimal such as soft drink sales
from us and system maintenance to us. As such, we consider that we are not in the position
where our free business activities are impeded from the affiliated company groups.
(3) Measures to Ensure Independence from Affiliated Company Groups
There is a member of Ricoh Co., who sits on our board; he is merely one of the 10
directors, representing far less than a half of the board. As such, we at CCW executebusiness operations by using our own judgment and making decisions on our own volition.
Therefore, we believe that we are in a position to make independent business decisions
without being significantly influenced by the said company.

(4) Independence from Affiliated Company Groups
CCW has close personnel and capital ties with Ricoh Co., Ltd.; however, CCW’s businessactivities and management judgment are completely under CCW’s decision. This ensures
the independence of CCW.
3. Transactions with Controlling Shareholder
There is no special transaction between CCW and Ricoh Co., Ltd.
