SORUN Corporation head officeFinancial Section

SORUN CORPORATION traces its roots back to 1970, when the company was established as Matsumoto Keisan Center Co.,
Ltd., in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. Tapping mergers and acquisitions as the strategic route toward growth as anindependent software developer, the company merged with Stat Corporation in 1997. This was followed by a number of equity
investments and mergers with such targets as Nippon Timeshare Co., Ltd., and LTBC Systems Co., Ltd., which underpinned thecreation of today's SORUN Group.
SORUN has clients in many industries, including finance, manufacturing, communications and the public sector. A uniquecomponent of the company's business is its involvement in the development of satellite monitoring and control systems.

addresses is expected to dry up sometime between 2011 and 2012. An industry group—Task Force on IPv4

Intec Systems Institute applied for five new patents in fiscal 2010, including the ones described above. For R&D inprogress, the company provides updates through scientific papers, outside lectures and articles in the INTEC
Technical Journal. The company also takes an active role in cultivating the skills of tomorrow’s software and systemengineers with support for a program at the University of Toyama and special lectures at Toyama Prefectural
University.
TIS inaugurated an in-house venture system with the debut of Sonic Garden and launched an in-house social

the organization.
Total R&D expenses reached ¥912 million in fiscal 2010.

Financial Review(6) Other R&D pursuits

Corporate
GovernanceIn life science R&D, progress in testing methods and equipment makes it easier to amass vast amounts of data
in a short period of time. Paralleling this, bioinformatics and information sciences have become increasingly
important to support computer analysis of all the data and underpin new biological discoveries.
In joint research with non-Group partners, Intec System Institute and the Institute of Physical and Chemical
Research, known as RIKEN, achieved results that led to patents on a bioinformation analyzer, analysis method andanalysis program. The objective was to search the genetic switch responsible for life phenomena, and the structural principle that controls the circadian clock in mammals was successfully identified. The next step is to create atechnique that cracks the biomechanisms of diseases and drug side-effects at the genetic level for application ininnovative drug development.
Intec Systems Institute is also participating in the Functional RNA Project—a five-year, strategic R&D
effort launched by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2005—as a member of the Japan Biological
Informatics consortium. The company is responsible for bioinformatic R&D aimed at finding and analyzing
functional RNA. A notable result achieved so far is the expanded scope of a patent for a microRNA analyzer,
analysis method and analysis program overseas. The company will now move forward on research that willturn developments to practical results, such as the capacity to discover biomarkers.

R&D

The Group is keen to tailor next-generation IT constituent technology to the needs of client industries. Therefore,
engineers assigned to this genre of R&D consider available technologies and explore possible applications in eachclient industry.
A concrete example is the Asbestos Automated Measurement System, which delivers instantaneous, on-sitemeasurement of asbestos. In fiscal 2010, engineers ran tests on a number of samples, collected data, and thenmoved into R&D aimed at realizing a marketable system.
The Group also operates a netizen site—an e-learning environment for ordinary citizens to promote lifelong
study—and performed verification tests in collaboration with the University of Toyama on Web Portfolio, which has
potential as a next-generation e-learning system.
Another area of interest is research into the creation of a customized health care services market. The Group
was assigned to investigate an application platform for lifetime health information collected by local governments,
while INTEC and TIS jointly tackled verification tests on business-oriented health support services.

Platform technology R&D enables the Group to anticipate the market changes that accompany technological innovation and underpins the development of new products and new services.
INTEC emphasized platform R&D to facilitate use of existing web-based application Software as a Service, or
SaaS, and supported the service and planning proposals of operating divisions.
On the local WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access) technology front, INTEC continued tooffer assistance to a project established jointly with the Keio Research Institute at the Shonan-Fujisawa Campus of
Keio University and undertook R&D on a local signage platform application.
TIS investigated several non-relational databases, including Hadoop, and began applied research on the useof such frameworks in its services. The company also evaluated next-generation Android and iPhone smartphones
and initiated a pilot project using smartphones as a component of mobile enterprise platforms.

Key Strategies(2) Service platform technology

To OurStakeholders

Software development technology is a vital R&D theme for the IT Holdings Group, which approaches the genre
from two angles: high quality and high productivity. Each companies in the Group maintain a steady and aggressive
approach to the realization of valuable R&D results.
A concrete example of this commitment is Virtual Project Room, a type of Platform as a Service, or PaaS, forsoftware developers. This project was a joint effort by INTEC, Intec Systems Institute and TIS, and the results arebeing put to practical use. For TIS, Virtual Project Room has greatly enhanced productivity in offshore development
operations and successfully reduced in-house main system maintenance costs by half.
On its own, INTEC undertook research on knowledge-support systems to make its system integration business more efficient. Results gained through this research have been implemented.
Meanwhile, TIS developed framework prototypes and application infrastructures using leading-edge technologies such as continuous integration and automated testing. In specific domains, the company used domain-specific language development methods that dramatically boost development productivity and achieved high-productivity
product management with agile software development methods.

Intec NetCore is tapping into several of the latest trends, but the spotlight is on IPv4/IPv6 coexistence technology, which has become a key topic in an industry characterized by increased migration toward IPv6. In addition,
the company offers consultations based on expertise gained in the delivery of network management systems tothree major communication carriers in Japan.
Intec NetCore is also pursuing R&D on a multihoming technique that will enable users to easily create highly
dependable online networks. Multihoming is a technology that uses several IP addresses to connect a host to theInternet, and it is essential to the realization of highly reliable communication networks. Two Requests forComments—that is, proposals—submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force on techniques that utilize multihoming were adopted by the Internet standards organization, in April and October 2009.
Having developed a measurement technique that pinpoints the quality of each Internet connection in an IP
network, Intec NetCore continues to analyze and store Internet measurement quality data from Japan and overseas. The company is currently working to commercialize services utilizing this technique as well as its IPv4/IPv6
coexistence technology while exploring methods to optimize network resources.
SORUN prototyped a solution for implementing remote environment tests on applications built into devices
using Android technology. The company achieved a format whereby log data generated during the tests was temporarily transferred to a cloud environment and then transmitted as necessary to a remote environment for analysis.
Meanwhile, Intec NetCore and Intec Systems Institute utilized cloud computing technology in developing amethod that allows companies, primarily, to activate private clouds within their own corporate structures.
Companies can use this method when building in-house systems to configure reliable, scalable application platforms fine-tuned to respective organizational capabilities. Such high-level, decentralized computing technology has
the potential to dramatically cut the cost of building private clouds, and preparations are under way to create afull-fledged business out of this new method.

Financial Review

In the IT services industry, competition among providers is fierce, and the potential for intense price wars grows higher withthe entry of new players from other industries and the rising profile of foreign companies in Japan. In addition, the possibility
exists for discontinuous business models and technologies could be superseded and made obsolete by innovative developments within the industry.
Therefore, IT Holdings considers new business models and pursues various leading-edge information technologies, andformulates a variety of strategies to ensure that the products and services offered by the Group meet evolving market needs.
However, if technology progresses more rapidly or in a different direction than anticipated and the Group is unable torespond quickly and precisely to emerging demand, the delay could erode business results and financial standing.
The industry’s business model is undergoing a major transformation, fueled by the market’s embrace of cloud computing. Anticipating wider demand for services, IT Holdings has emphasized expansion of its network of next-generation data
centers as key points in the provision of high-value-added services. This emphasis led to the construction of data centersoverseas, in Tianjin, China, and in Japan, in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. These facilities, which went into operation in April
and July 2010, respectively, will be joined by the opening of data centers in the Gotenyama area of Tokyo and in the city of
Toyama, Toyama Prefecture, in fiscal 2012.
In addition, the Company aims to reinforce its cloud service platform by utilizing the specialized capabilities of Group
companies and accumulated know-how to expand the service lineup. This will give the Group a sharp competitive edge overits competition.

Per share data:

TopicsIT Holdings has made the long-term, comprehensive return of profits to shareholders a management priority and seeks
to maintain stable dividends while taking into account performance trends, financial status, and the need to enrichretained earnings to support business growth.
In fiscal 2010, the interim dividend was at ¥12 per share and the year-end dividend was ¥20 per share.
Management expects to maintain this dividend schedule in fiscal 2011, with an annual dividend of ¥32 per share, with
the interim component at ¥12 per share.

Outsourcing services continue around the clock every day of the year at data centers in Japan, in metropolitan Tokyo andOsaka as well as locations in Kanagawa Prefecture, Tochigi Prefecture, Toyama Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture, as well as
overseas, in Tianjin, China. Every conceivable safeguard has been taken to establish a secure environment. The
structures were designed to withstand earthquakes and feature on-site generators that kick in to run equipment in theevent of a power failure as well as systems that thwart unauthorized entry.
However, if situations, particularly large-scale natural disasters, health crises such as highly virulent strains ofinfluenza, international disputes, terrorism and serious criminal activity, manifest with repercussions more pervasive
than expected, the operating efficiency of data centers might deteriorate. The inability to provide uninterrupted services
could influence the fiscal performance and financial standing of Group companies involved in outsourcing services andby extension the Company as well.

Business Risks

Net cash used in investing activities jumped 28.1%, to ¥25,727 million ($276 million). This change is primarily the
result of ¥1,333 million ($14 million) in proceeds from the sale and redemption of investments in securities on theassets side and ¥9,843 million ($105 million) in acquisitions of property and equipment, ¥5,003 million ($53 million) in
acquisitions of intangible assets, and ¥10,917 million ($117 million) in payments on newly consolidated subsidiaries on
the liabilities side.
Cash flows from financing activities shifted from a net cash used position in fiscal 2009, at ¥6,878 million, to a
net cash provided by position, at ¥6,139 million ($65 million) in fiscal 2010. The reversal in position is mainly due
to ¥15,800 million ($169 million) in proceeds from long-term bank loans and a ¥15,505 million ($166 million)
increase in short-term bank loans, net, on the assets side. On the liabilities side, the major components of change
were ¥15,942 million ($171 million) in repayment of long-term bank loans and ¥5,100 million ($54 million) for
redemption of bonds.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of theCompany and its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Group”). The
number of consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, is 55 and 43,
respectively.

At a Glance

Securities held by the Group are classified into two categories: held-to-maturity oravailable-for-sale securities. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost.
Available-for-sale securities with a determinable market value are stated at fair value
with any changes in unrealized holding gain or loss, net of the applicable income taxes,
included directly in net assets. Available-for-sale securities without a determinable
market value are stated at cost. Cost of securities sold is determined by themoving-average method.

Key Strategies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been compiled from theconsolidated financial statements prepared by the Company as required under the
Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan, and have been prepared inaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, which are different
in certain respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of International
Financial Reporting Standards.

(d) Cash equivalents

To OurStakeholders(a) Basis of Presenting the Consolidated Financial Statements
IT Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) and its domestic subsidiaries maintain theirbooks of account in conformity with the financial accounting standards of Japan; its
foreign subsidiaries maintain their books of account in conformity with those of theircountries of domicile.

(g) Inventories

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, except for assets andliabilities hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts.

However, the Group provides inventory write-downs determined primarily by their
future collectability.

Financial Section

All revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange
when such transactions were made, and differences arising from the translation are
credited or charged to income.

Merchandise and finished goods are stated at cost, determined mainly by the first-in,
first-out method. Work in process is stated at cost, determined by the specific-cost
method. Raw materials and supplies are stated at cost, mainly determined by lastpurchase cost method.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimateduseful lives, except for computer software.

(n) Accrued bonuses to employees
Accrued bonuses to employees are recognized at the estimated amount to be paid forservices rendered prior to the fiscal year-end.
(o) Accrued retirement benefits to employees
Accrued retirement benefits for employees are recorded at an amount calculated basedon the retirement benefit obligation and the fair value of the pension plan assets as of
the balance sheet date.

Computer software for sale

Actuarial gain or loss is amortized from the year following recognition by thestraight-line method within the average remaining service period (mainly 5 to 18
years) of employees. Prior service costs are mainly charged to income whenincurred.

ii) Computer software for internal use(J)(Accounting change)
Effective from the year ended March 31, 2010, the Group adopted “Partial
Amendments to Accounting Standard for Retirement Benefits (Part 3)” (ASBJ
Statement No. 19, July 31, 2008). The effect of this change was immaterial to theconsolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Leased assets (as lessee)(p) Accrued retirement benefits to directors

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. These deferred taxes are measured
by applying the enacted tax rates and laws, which will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.

Impairment losses of long-lived assets

The Group bases its grouping for assessing impairment losses on long-lived assets on
their business segments, area and service descriptions. However, lease properties andassets for specified projects are grouped separately.

(r)

Distribution of retained earnings
Dividends and other distributions of retained earnings are resolved by the General
Shareholders’ Meeting held subsequent to the end of the fiscal year. Distributions
are reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the following fiscal year.

Financial Section

The Group reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes incircumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Any
decrease in the book value of long-lived assets is recorded under other expenses as an
impairment loss.

Financial Review(l)(q) Income taxes

Corporate
Governance

Certain domestic consolidated subsidiaries set aside a provision to cover payment of
directors’ retirement benefits. The estimated amount to be paid is recorded based oninternal regulations.

(k) Accounting for leases (as lessee and lessor)
Finance lease transactions other than those in which ownership is fully transferred to
the lessee are accounted for in a similar manner to ordinary sales and purchasetransactions.

R&D

Leased assets on finance lease transactions that do not transfer ownership are
depreciated over the useful life of assets, which equals the lease term, by thestraight-line method. Finance lease transactions which were contracted before April
1, 2008, are accounted for as operating leases.

TopicsCapitalized costs are amortized by the straight-line method over the estimateduseful life of the software, generally two to five years (three to five years in2009).

At a Glance

Capitalized costs are amortized at the higher of the amount based on the ratio of
the current year sales quantity to the total of estimated sales quantity over theestimated sales period (three years) or the amount calculated by the straight-line
method over the remaining economic life.

Key Strategies

Expenses related to development activities of computer software, which are included
in intangible assets, are amortized as follows:i)

To OurStakeholders

The allowance is determined based on known troubled accounts, historical experience,and other currently available evidence.

Financial
Highlights

An allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the appropriate estimate of probablelosses inherent in the accounts receivable balance.

Buildings and structures are depreciated principally by the straight-line method;machinery and equipment are depreciated principally by the declining-balancemethod; and both methods are based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Key Strategies

A formal assessment is made periodically on an ongoing basis to determine whether
the derivative used in hedging activities is effective by comparing cumulative cash
flow fluctuations of both the hedge method and target, except for interest rate swaps
accounted for by exceptional methods.

Goodwill and negative goodwill are amortized by the straight-line method overperiods not exceeding 20 years. However, immaterial goodwill or negative goodwill
are charged or credited to income when incurred.

The Group also believes that the credit risk of derivatives is insignificant as
it enters into derivative transactions only with financial institutions that havea sound credit profile.
2.

Management policies

Market prices of investments in securities and the financial position ofissuers are reviewed periodically. In addition, the Group continuously
evaluates the adequacy of withholding those securities, considering therelationship with the issuers.
Controls and execution of derivative transactions are carried under theauthorization of the boards of directors and in conformity with the internal
rules of each company of the Group. The performance of transactions isreported semiannually to the boards of directors.

(ii) Contents of financial instruments and related risks

Liquidity risk on fund procurement (nonfulfillment risk on due date)
Based on the report from each division, the Group prepares and updates its
cash flow plans on a timely basis to manage liquidity risk.

(iv) Explanation of market fair values
The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price, if
available. If there is no market price, fair value is estimated reasonably.

Financial Review

In addition, the notional amounts of derivatives in the following “fair market
values” of derivative transactions are not necessarily indicative of the actual
market risk involved in derivative transactions.

Corporate
GovernanceNotes and accounts payable are mainly due within one year. Short-term bankloans are procured mainly for operations. Long-term bank loans are procured
mainly for capital investments and to secure a stable fund position. A portion of
long-term bank loans, bearing interest at variable rates, is exposed to interest rate
fluctuation risk. However, to reduce such risk, certain subsidiaries utilize
interest rate swap transactions as a hedging instrument. Details of interest rate
swaps are described in Note 1(r) above.

R&D

Notes and accounts receivable are exposed to credit risks in relation to theGroup's customers. Investments in securities are exposed to market risk.
Those securities are mainly equity shares issued by companies with which theGroup has business relationships.

TopicsThe Group procures necessary funds, principally from banks, under its capital
investment plans. The Group invests excess funds mainly in secure financial
assets. Further, the Group raises short-term capital through bank borrowings.
Derivatives are utilized for hedging interest rate fluctuation risks, not for tradingor speculative purposes.

Computation of fair market values of financial instruments, securities andderivative transactions

Fair market values of long-term bank loans with fixed interest rates are based on
the present values of the total of principal and interest discounted by an interest
rate to be applied if similar new borrowings were to be made. A part oflong-term bank loans, bearing interest at variable rates, is accounted for byinterest swap exceptional treatment. Its fair market values are based on theaggregate of principal and interest in conjunction with the exceptional treatment
as a package, discounted by an interest rate to be applied if similar new
borrowings were to be made.

R&D* The amounts do not include the allowance provided for the individual receivables.
** The amounts include a current portion of bonds or long-term bank loans.

Book values of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate fairmarket values since the market interest rate is reflected on a timely basis and thecredit rating of the Group has not changed significantly since borrowing theloans.
