Improper Inspections, etc., in the Group

Prompted by improper inspections, such as some unmeasured inspection items in specificvoluntary inspections that came to light in the Group company Sumitomo (S.H.I) Construction
Machinery Sales Co., Ltd., and others (see the enclosed reference document "Disclosed
Improper Actions"), on the 14th September 2018 we announced internally that we werecarrying out a comprehensive survey of quality management inspections in all the company's
business divisions and all group companies within Japan. As a result of these inspections it
was found that improper inspections, etc., were being carried out regarding products andservices in the company (Plastic Machinery Division) and in three consolidated subsidiarycompanies (Sumitomo Heavy Industries Material Handling Systems Co., Ltd., Sumitomo
Heavy Industries Gearbox Co., Ltd., and Sumitomo Heavy Industries Power Transmission &Controls Sales Co., Ltd.), so we are continuing to check the situation while providing
explanations to our customers. We report that at the present time the following facts havebeen established and we are dealing with the situation now and in the future as described
below.
We deeply apologize for the great inconvenience caused to our customers and all thoseaffected.
We are working to further strengthen quality management and compliance throughout thewhole Group to prevent a recurrence, as well as thoroughly investigating the causes, in orderto ensure that this situation will not occur again in the future.

1. Overview of improper inspections, etc., identified in the GroupThe following is an overview of the improper inspections, etc., in the Group that wereidentified in the comprehensive survey of quality management inspections.
(1) Implementation of inspections by unqualified personnel, etc. (periodic inspections ofmoving walkways)
The following improper inspections were carried out in the case of periodic inspections on
moving walkways implemented by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Material Handling Systems on
their own products.
- Implementation of periodic inspections by unqualified personnel- Qualified personnel who did not carry out the inspection signed the periodic inspection
reports with their own name as the person that carried out the inspection- Details were entered in the periodic inspection reports that differed from the actual
inspection results(2) Entering inspection data in inspection reports, etc., that was different from that agreed
with the customer (large reducers and sealing press machines)

(i) Inspection data that differed from the prescribed inspection conditions was entered into
inspection reports
In pre-shipment inspections of large reducers manufactured and sold by Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Gearbox Co., Ltd., inspection data for some inspection items that differed fromthe conditions at the time of commissioning agreed with the customer was entered into theinspection report, and submitted to the customer.
(ii) Values within the customer's specification range were entered into inspection reports
even though the inspection had not been implemented
In pre-shipment inspections of sealing press machines manufactured and sold by thecompany's Plastic Machinery Division, for some inspection items fixed values within thespecification range agreed with the customer were entered into inspection reports eventhough the inspection had not been implemented, and submitted to the customer.
(iii) Inspection measurement values were replaced with different values that were within thecustomer's specification range and entered into the inspection report
In pre-shipment inspections of sealed presses manufactured and sold by the company's
Plastic Machinery Division, for some inspection items fixed measurement values within thespecification range agreed with the customer were replaced with other values within thespecification range and entered into inspection reports, and submitted to the customer.
(3) Actual measurement values were replaced with values within the company standard
values and entered into the inspection reports (overhaul of reducers)
In the overhaul of reducers carried out by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Power Transmission &Controls Sales Co., Ltd., for some inspection items measured values that were outside thecompany's standard values were replaced with values within the company's standard values
and entered into the inspection reports. In addition measurement values within the company
standard values were replaced with other values within the company's standard values andentered into the inspection reports, and submitted to the customer.

2. Status of Confirmation of Safety and Product Performance
At the present time there have been no identified occurrences of faults caused by the
improper inspections, etc., in the company and the three consolidated subsidiaries.
(1) Traveling Walkways
Inspections have been carried out by qualified personnel at all the facilities with the affected
equipment, 4 equipment. at 3 companies, and it has been confirmed that the safety of theusers has being ensured.
(i) Regarding the periodic inspections carried out by unqualified personnel on the two
equipment at one company, it was confirmed that the recent periodic inspections werecarried out by appropriately qualified personnel.
(ii) In addition to the implementation of periodic inspections by unqualified personnel,
regarding the false entries in reports for two equipment at two companies, the most recent
periodic inspection was by unqualified personnel, so the inspection was appropriately
performed again by qualified personnel, and the customer appropriately dealt with.

(2) Large Reducers
Regarding these products, as a result of an analysis based on the records of other related
quality control items, it was judged that the quality standards agreed with the customer weresatisfied.
(3) Sealing Press machines(i) Regarding the items for which inspection was not implemented, as a result of inspectionsof the relevant products shipped after this incident came to light, it was inferred that the
products were sufficiently within the specification range. However in cooperation with thecustomer confirmation of the individual product performance is in progress.
(ii) Regarding the inspection items for which values differing from the measured values
were entered into the inspection reports, the measured values have all been checked, andit has been confirmed that they are all within the specification range agreed with thecustomer.
(4) Reducers(i) Regarding reducers used for equipment such as ski lifts, etc., a safety evaluation has
been carried out by the customer and it was confirmed that there is no problem.
(ii) Regarding reducers used in equipment such as belt conveyors, etc., confirmation of
product performance is proceeding promptly.
Note that after overhaul, reducers are assembled again into the end-users’ equipment andcommissioning tests are carried out, and operation is started after confirmation of
performance. Also, as a result of daily inspections and periodic inspections, etc., carried out
by the end-users, it has been confirmed that there has been no problem.

3. Policy Regarding Future Measures
In the fact-finding and safety verifications carried out within the Group to date, no nonconformities that would give rise to doubts about the safety of our products have been
confirmed. However, having provided explanations to our customers and obtained theirunderstanding, we are proceeding with further measures such as verification of safety, etc. If
any concerns regarding safety are identified, they will be promptly and appropriately dealt
with.
Also, although fact-finding is proceeding within the company, on 15th January 2019 a Special
Investigation Committee was established with an external director as Chairperson, and thisCommittee will carry out an investigation to identify the history and causes, and to provide
advice on measures to prevent recurrence. Based on the results of this investigation by theSpecial Investigation Committee, the company will implement measures to further strengthen
quality control and compliance within the Group and to prevent a recurrence of such
incidents in order to restore confidence. Also, after these measures have been determined
they will be made public.

4. Effect on Business Results
The incidents that have already been made public have not affected business results.

Also, when the effects on business results of the incidents that have now been disclosed
have become apparent, there will be a further separate public announcement.

5. Status of Measures within the Company
The status of measures within the company's Plastic Machinery Division is as follows.
(1) History
During the comprehensive survey of quality management inspections in the whole company,
a survey was carried out of one year's test reports of pre-shipment inspections of sealingpress machines. As a result of this survey it was found that in the spreadsheet software
programs used for preparation of the test reports, there were inspection items that had notbeen implemented and there were values that differed from the actual measurement results,
so it was concluded that these were improper inspections.
(2) Details of the Incidents(i) Overview of the improper inspections, etc.
Among the pre-shipment inspections of sealing press machines, it was found that there
were cases where some inspection items had not been carried out, but nonetheless fixed
results within the specification range agreed with the customer had been entered onto thetest reports and submitted to the customer. In addition there were cases where the actual
measurement values from the inspection were replaced with different values within thespecification range, entered into the inspection report, and submitted to the customer. The
number of customers that were affected by these improper inspections was 4, and the total
number of improper inspections was 214.
(ii) Cause of Occurrence- Those responsible produced a program that output values different from the values
calculated from the input inspection data on the spreadsheet software for preparation of
the test reports, and they used this program.
- Those responsible had not discussions with the customer regarding specification
changes, carelessly thinking that there was no problem to omit inspection items in terms
of product function or performance.
- Those responsible made the arbitrary judgment that because the measured values were
within the specified range, there was no problem to enter constant values within thespecified range onto the test reports.
- The Quality Assurance Department were unaware of the fact that those responsible had
replaced the spreadsheet software program, so they checked whether or not the data inthe test reports were outside specification, but they did not carry out a check with themeasured values. Therefore they were unable to detect that there had been improper
inspections.
(iii) Status of Confirmation of Product Performance
At present there have been no occurrences of faults in products caused by these incidents.
Regarding the items for which inspection had not been carried out, from the inspection
results on the relevant products shipped after these incidents came to light, it has beeninferred that they were sufficiently within the specification range, but in cooperation with thecustomers confirmation of the performance of the individual products is in progress. Also for
the inspection items for which values that differed from the measured values were enteredin the test reports, all the measured values have been checked, and it has been confirmedthat they are within the specification range agreed with the customer.
(iv) Annual Number Shipped and Annual Revenue of Products in Question
Annual number shipped: 267

Annual revenue: About ¥1.2 billion (FY 2017)(3) Current Status of Measures
Apologies and explanations have been given to the four customers affected, and discussions
are being carried out with them individually regarding future measures.
At present inspections are being carried out on all the items based on the specifications
agreed with customers, and, modification of the spreadsheet software programs have been
completed so that the inspection data is correctly entered into the test reports.
(4) Policy Regarding Future Measures
Rules have been established regarding the procedures for preparation and changes of test
reports, and retraining is being implemented to ensure thorough compliance of those
involved, as well as implementation of work control methods relating to review and approval.
We are putting our total efforts to prevent a recurrence and to recover trust so that such
incidents do not occur again.

Also, today the three subsidiaries are making public announcements regarding the status of
their measures, and for details refer to the attached documents 1 to 3.

Improper Inspections, etc. in the Company

It has come to light that improper inspections such as inspections carried out by unqualified
personnel, etc., have been carried out during the periodic inspection of moving walkway
equipment implemented by our company (President: Tatsuya Endo, Capital: ¥480 million),and the following is a report on the status of our measures to deal with these problems.
We deeply apologize for the great inconvenience caused to all of those affected by theseincidents. The company is putting its efforts into strengthening the quality control systems inorder to prevent a recurrence of such events in the future.

1. History
In the comprehensive quality control survey conducted by the Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group, a survey was conducted of our company for one year, and subsequently the survey
was conducted for a further year in FY 2013. As a result of these surveys it was found that
improper inspections have been carried out, such as the implementation of inspection myunqualified personnel in the periodic inspections of moving walkways, etc.

2. Details of the Incidents(1) Overview of improper inspections, etc.
For some of the owners of moving walkway equipment, the Building Standard Act imposes
an obligation to carry out periodic inspections annually by personnel that have received acertificate of qualification as an inspector of elevators, escalators, etc. (hereafter, "qualified
personnel"), and to submit the periodic inspection report to the designated competentauthority. However in the periodic inspections carried out by us based on a commission fromthe owners of the equipment, it was found that the following improper inspections had been
carried out. These improper inspections applied to 4 equipment at 3 companies.
(i) Implementation of periodic inspection by unqualified personnel
The periodic inspections were not carried out by our company's staff members that werequalified, but were carried out by a cooperating company consisting of unqualified
personnel only.
(ii) Entering the name of a different inspector on the periodic inspection reports
When the inspections were carried out by unqualified personnel, a qualified person from ourcompany who had not carried out the inspection signed their own name to the periodic
inspection report as the inspector.
(iii) Entering the name of a different inspector and different inspection results on the
periodic inspection reportsWhen inspections were carried out by unqualified inspectors, there were cases in which inaddition to entering the name of a different inspector, inspection results that differed fromthe actual inspection results were also entered into the periodic inspection reports.
(2) Cause of occurrence(i) As a result of entrusting the work of periodic inspection of moving walkways to each of
the responsible personnel and cooperating companies, the manager did not understand theactual situation regarding the plan for deployment of the staff and carrying out the work,
including the qualified personnel and the cooperating company. Also, there was no
mechanism or system whereby the manager would check and approve the contents of thereport submitted to the customer or the periodic inspection report submitted to government.
(ii) The personnel responsible incorrectly interpreted that even if they did not carry out theactual inspection themselves, provided that qualified personnel checked the inspection
results then the inspection would be valid, so there was no thorough compliance.
(3) Status of checking of safety
Inspections have been carried out as described below by qualified personnel at all the 4equipment at 3 companies where the improper inspections have been carried out, and it was
confirmed that safety of the users was ensured.
(i) In the case of the 2 facilities at 1 company where periodic inspection was carried out by
unqualified personnel, it has been confirmed that the most recent periodic inspection has
been carried out by properly qualified personnel.
(ii) In addition to implementation of periodic inspections by unqualified personnel, in thecase of 2 facilities at 2 companies where there was wrong information entered on thereports, the most recent periodic inspections had been carried out by unqualified personnel,
so reinspection was appropriately carried out by qualified personnel and the reports were
submitted again, so appropriate measures were taken for the customer.
(4) Annual revenue for the relevant services
Sales of moving walkways were terminated in June 2008, and thereafter maintenance andservicing has been carried out only for equipment already installed.
Annual revenue from maintenance and servicing: About ¥300 million (FY 2017)

3. Policy Regarding Future Measures
The customers for whom the improper inspections were carried out have been given
apologies and reports. In addition as measures to prevent a recurrence, education on therelevant laws and regulations and on compliance has been provided, control of qualified
personnel is being thoroughly implemented, and review of the series of processes fromplanning, implementation, records, reporting, etc., has been carried out. These measures toprevent recurrence are being implemented with our total commitment, in order to restore
confidence in the company.

Improper Inspections, etc. in the Company

It has come to light that in our company (President: Tatsuro Araki, capital: ¥840 million)
improper inspections, etc., have been carried out for some of the inspection items in the preshipment inspections for large reducers, and the following is the status of our response todeal with these incidents.
We deeply apologize for the great inconvenience caused to all those affected by theseincidents. The company is strengthening its quality control system in order to prevent an
occurrence of such incidents in the future.

1. History
In the comprehensive quality control survey conducted by the Sumitomo Heavy Industries
Group, as a result of a survey carried out in our company for one year, it came to light that
there were some differences between the in-house "inspection records" that contained themeasurement results of pre-shipment inspections of large reducers, and the values in the"inspection reports" submitted to customers, so there were improper inspections.

2. Details of the Incidents(1) Overview of the improper inspections, etc.
There were cases in which bearing temperature data that was not measured was enteredinto the inspection results document during in-house commissioning, and, measured valuesof noise that were outside the in-house standard values were replaced with values within thein-house standard range and entered into the inspection results report, and submitted to thecustomers. The number of customers affected by these improper inspections, etc., was 7,
and the number of improper inspections, etc., was 41.
(2) Cause of occurrence
Regarding non-compliance with the conditions of bearing temperature during in-housecommissioning, there were times when it was not possible to secure the commissioning timeagreed with the customer, or the approved commissioning time agreed with the customer
was mistaken.
Regarding the falsified noise values, in cases where it was not possible to insulate thesurrounding noise it was not possible to correctly measure the data, so values within the inhouse standard range of values were wrongly entered.
In past quality audits, the inspection records and the inspection reports were not checked, so
it was not possible to detect the mismatch of the values.
(3) Status of checking of product performanceAt present there have been no product faults, etc., that have been caused by these incidents.
Regarding non-compliance with the conditions of bearing temperature during in-housecommissioning trials, analysis has been carried out based on other related quality control
item records, and it is been found that the results satisfy the quality criteria specified by thecustomer.
Also, the occurrence of noise associated with product performance can cause abnormal
results in other measurement values (temperature or vibration), but such faults have notbeen detected.
(4) Annual number of shipments and annual revenue for the affected products
Annual number of shipments: 504

Annual revenue: About ¥1.5 billion (FY 2017)

3. Current Status of Measures
Explanation of the situation to the 7 customers to whom the affected products have beendelivered has been completed.
When we have been asked to go to the end-user and provide an explanation, we have dealt
with it successively and obtained their understanding.

4. Policy Regarding Future Measures(1) We will introduce automatic recording equipment so that measurement data is
automatically recorded, thereby eliminating the scope for improper inspections, etc.
(2) The whole company is involved in urgent measures to improve our work quality, in orderto recover the trust of our customers.

Improper Inspections, etc. in the Company

It has come to light that improper inspections have been carried out in connection with someof the inspection items in reducer overhaul carried out by the Service Department in ourcompany (President: Norio Okada, Capital: ¥400 million), and the following is the status of
our actions to deal with these.
We deeply apologize for the great inconvenience caused to those that have been affected bythese incidents. We are working to strengthen our work quality in order to prevent a
recurrence of such events in the future.

1. History
In the comprehensive quality control inspection carried out by the Sumitomo Heavy
Industries Group, a survey was carried out for one year in our company, and as a result itcame to light that some of the values on the "Checklist" that contains the measured values
during reducer overhaul and the values on the "Inspection Report" submitted to the customer
were different, so improper inspections were carried out.
Note that overhaul is carried out in order to maintain the function of the equipment and toextend its life, and the content of the work carried out by our company included dismantling,inspection, replacement of parts, etc., on reducers.

2. Details of the incidents(1) Overview of the improper inspections, etc.
In the specific inspections carried out during reducer overhaul, measured values that wereoutside the in-house standard values were replaced with values within the in-house standard
values and entered into the inspection reports. In addition, measurement values that were
within the in-house standard values were replaced with different values within the in-housestandard values, and entered in the inspection reports and submitted to the customers.
The number of customers affected by these improper inspections was 15, and the number of
improper inspections was 29.
(2) Cause of occurrence(i) The performance of the customer's equipment is confirmed by commissioning tests, so it
was wrongly judged that there was no problem if measurement values were outside the inhouse standard values, so the values on the inspection reports were replaced.
(ii) Management of the standards and processes to ensure quality was not thorough, andthere were defects in the system of reviewing and approving in some departments, so thesystem did not function. Also, audits of the periodic service bases did not extend to
determine the state of work quality.
(3) Status of checking of product performance
At present there have been no product defects, etc., that have been caused by theseincidents.
In the case of products that are used in ski lifts and other equipment, the productperformance has been confirmed in the company, and it has been confirmed that there are
no problems. In the case of products used in belt conveyors, etc., we are urgently carryingout checks. Note that after being overhauled the reducers are assembled again into the enduser's equipment and operational tests are carried out, and after the performance has been
confirmed operation is commenced. Also, the end-users check that there are no problems indaily inspection and periodic inspection, etc.

(4) Annual number of products overhauled and annual revenue
Annual number of products overhauled: 761
2017)

Annual revenue: About ¥900 million (FY

3. Current Status of Measures
The company has re-confirmed that there are no problems in the performance of all of the
reducer products that were affected.
Also, explanations regarding the improper inspections have been provided to the 2 ski lift
equipment manufacturers, and safety evaluations have been carried out and it has been
confirmed that there is no problem. Note that explanations are being provided successively
to the 13 industrial belt conveyor manufacturers and end-users.

4. Policy Regarding Future Measures(1) Prompt and proper explanations will be provided to customers regarding the facts of any
improper inspections that come to light in the future, and the problems will be resolved in amanner that is convincing to the customer.
(2) After further surveys regarding the facts, we will search for the causes, and establish andimplement measures to prevent recurrence.
(3) The whole company is engaged in measures to increase work quality for overhauling, inorder to restore trust of the customers.
