Key points⚫

In the first half of the term ending January 2024, sales grew 31.4% year on year to 3,328 million yen. As the number oforders and the number of inquiries for new large-scale projects were healthy and large-scale projects progressed, sales
increased significantly, hitting a record high in the first half of the term and also the second quarter (May-July). Operating
loss was 61 million yen (in the same period of the previous year, an operating income of 58 million yen was posted). Due tosome projects with a low profit margin that were ordered in the previous year, gross profit margin decreased year on year
from 20.2% to 14.1%. SG&A expenses augmented 17.0% year on year to 531 million yen, as personnel and recruitment
expenses rose because the company actively invested in recruitment of personnel in accordance with its Medium-termManagement Plan. Ordinary loss was 9 million yen (in the same period of the previous year, an ordinary income of 128
million yen was posted), and tax burdens decreased, so net loss was 28 million yen (in the same period of the previous year,
an income of 59 million yen was posted).

⚫

For the full year of the term ending January 2024, it is expected that sales will grow 46.6% year on year to 8 billion yen
and operating income/loss will improve from a loss of 215 million yen in the previous year to an income of 210 million yen.
The company has upwardly revised the sales in the initial forecast and downwardly revised all kinds of profits in the initial
forecast. With the new management structure, the company will try to receive orders for large-scale projects, which would
yield stable profits, manage costs thoroughly, and secure personnel for these efforts actively. There is no revision to thedividend amount, so the company plans to pay an interim dividend of 10 yen/share and a term-end dividend of 10 yen/sharefor a total of 20 yen/share like in the previous year. The expected payout ratio is 90.7%.

⚫

The sales and profit in the term ended January 2023 fell below the initial forecast significantly, but in December last year,
the company produced a new Medium-term Management Plan titled “Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025,” which will
be started in the term ending January 2024, and is proceeding with the plan. Under the new management structure, thecompany will position the period from the term ending January 2024 to the term ending January 2026 as a turning point
for new growth, consider the changes in the business environment in Japan and in this industry, conduct businessadministration while pursuing decarbonization, and reform its corporate culture, to improve its earning capacity. The
company aims to achieve “sales of 12 billion yen, an operating income of 1.2 billion yen, and an ROE of 13% or higher” inthe term ending January 2026.

⚫

In addition, in the “Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025,” the company will promote three key strategies: “decarbonizeddemolition solutions (innovation through dismantlement methods),” “DX plant solutions (innovation utilizing IT),” and“human resources strategy (foundation to generate further innovation),” under the basic policy of "improving profitability
through decarbonization-oriented management and reform of corporate culture."2

Bridge Report（1433） September 29, 2023

https://www.bridge-salon.jp/⚫

The company upwardly revised the forecast sales in the full year of the term ending January 2024, but downwardly revised
all kinds of forecast profits, as the performance in the first half of the term ending January 2024 was somewhat
disappointing. However, the 227.8% increase in the amount of orders received and the 381.2% rise in the backlog of orders
indicate their strong momentum. The number of orders for recurring dismantlement projects (stable and continuous) is
increasing as they focus on such projects, and the company receives business inquiries steadily. It seems that they need tourgently take some measures for increasing profit. As the number of employees has increased, enhancing marketing
activities, and a system for handling orders at high levels is being established.

⚫

In addition, there is strong potential demand for “decarbonization demolition solutions (innovation through dismantlement
methods)” and “DX plant solutions (innovation utilizing IT),” which are key strategies in the “Action Plan for
Decarbonization 2025,” and the business environment is favorable.

⚫

We would like to pay attention to how the company will earn profit while cultivating the market by utilizing their strengths
under the new management structure at an assumed speed.

https://www.bridge-salon.jp/

1. Company Overview
As a specialist in plant dismantlement, BESTERRA manages the dismantlement of plants (metal structures) for iron-making, power
generation, gas, petroleum, etc. Its core competence is “the method and technology for dismantling plants,” and it has many patented
methods including international patents. The company concentrates its managerial resources on engineering (proposal, design, and work
planning) and management (supervision and work management), and outsources actual dismantlement work to its affiliates, and so it
does not own heavy machinery or construction teams (the risk of owning assets can be avoided), and it is unnecessary to procure materials,
etc. and make transactions for material production (the inventory risk can be avoided). The Group also has three consolidated subsidiaries,
Hiro Engineering, which provides human resource services for design work, etc. and 3D Visual KK, which handles 3D scan modelingand design work, Yazawa Co., Ltd., which owns advanced technologies for removing asbestos(as of the end of July).In August, thecompany acquired Oda Corporation Co., Ltd., which mainly constructs and maintains plants and builds principal structural parts, and its
subsidiary, TOKEN Co., Ltd. as consolidated subsidiaries.
The corporate name “BESTERRA” was coined by combining the English word “Best (the superlative of ‘good’)” and the Latin word
“Terra (the earth),” and、infused with the ambition to “create the best earth.” By developing an integrated system for dismantling andrecycling, the company aims to actualize an advanced recycling society and contribute to the earth environment.
1-1 Corporate ethos and the code of conduct
Under the corporate philosophy of "we will contribute to the global environment with flexible thinking, creativity, andtechniques," the company's mission is to "realize the BEST (highest) TERRA (earth)" and "contribute to the development ofan advanced recycling-oriented society (development of vein industries).”
The company has also established a "Basic Sustainability Policy" to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
◎ Basic Sustainability Policy
We, Besterra, are committed to both "realization of an advanced recycling-oriented society" and "sustainable corporate growth" basedon our corporate philosophy of "We will contribute to the earth environment with our flexible way of thinking, creativity, andtechnologies using these concepts."
1-2 Characteristics of the business
The company has a single segment consisting of the plant demolition business. For others, it engages in the human resource service
business and the 3D scan, modeling, and design business. In the term ended January 2023, the plant dismantling business accounted
for 96.0% of total sales.
Plant dismantlement businessIn the plant dismantlement business, the company works on all types of plants in the fields of ironmaking, electric power, gas,petroleum, and petrochemicals, etc. The company offers services on overall engineering processes including proposals, designing,
work planning, outsourcing/arrangement of equipment and materials, supervision, safety management, cost management, financial
management, and handling of governmental procedures. It focuses on designing its unique demolition technologies and supervisingdemolition works based on demolition plans and uses specialized subcontractors for demolition works.
The clients for plant dismantlement are leading companies that own plants for ironmaking, electric power, gas, petroleum, etc. In mostcases, the equipment installation companies of the corporate groups of clients or leading general contractors are entrusted withdismantlement, and then BESTERRA serves as the primary or second-tier subcontractor.
Also, in the plant dismantlement business, BESTERRA receives valuable materials generated through dismantlement, such as scrap,
and sells them to scrap handlers. Accordingly, the company estimates the value of valuable materials while comprehensively
considering the material, quantity, price (market price of each material, such as iron, stainless steel, and copper), etc. and negotiateswith clients about the fee for dismantlement work. In accounting, the gain from sale of valuable materials is included in revenue fromdismantlement work and posted as part of sales from completed dismantlement work. In some cases, contractors (clients) dispose of(sell) scrap, etc. by themselves.

Bridge Report（1433） September 29, 2023

https://www.bridge-salon.jp/*Two standards for posting revenue and seasonality of revenue posting of the company
The standards for posting revenue from contracts can be classified into the completed contract method, in which revenue is posted whenworks are completed, and the percentage-of-completion method, in which revenue is posted according to the progress of works. The
company basically applies the percentage-of-completion method to large-scale projects whose period exceeds 3 months from the term
ending January 2023 (the completed contract method is applied to projects that do not meet the aforementioned criteria). The timing of
posting revenue (the completion of demolition work) from works for which the completed contract method is used is often affected by
the capital investment plans of clients. In the case of BESTERRA, revenue tends to be posted in the first quarter (February to April) andthe fourth quarter (November to January) (the seasonality of revenue posting). However, the variation in quarterly performance may
mislead investors, so the company is expanding the scope of application of the percentage-of-completion method step by step, to equalize
the timings of revenue posting.
OthersIn response to the chronic shortage of skilled construction workers, the company began providing human resource services in January
2013, and in March 2018, it made Hiro Engineering, which handles human resource services such as design work, a subsidiary. In
January 2015, the company began offering a 3D measurement service as well. It established 3D Visual KK in December 2019, and 3D
scan modeling and design business was transferred from INTER ACTION Corporation (securities code: 7725) in February 2020.
1-3 Strengths: an excellent client base, efficient dismantlement management based on plenty of experience, and intellectual
property, such as patented methods
The strengths of the company are excellent client assets, efficient dismantlement management based on plenty of experience, andintellectual property, such as patented methods. Because the clients are basically engineering subsidiary companies of leading
companies in ironmaking, electric, gas, coal oil fields, and major general contractors, which are easily trustable excellent clients, and it
is predicted that they will receive orders continuously. The clients of the leading companies highly evaluate the company’s total
management (low cost and high efficiency) of plant dismantlement that it cultivated experiences for over 40 years, and it elect a barrier
to entry.
The company operates business under the concepts of "unbreakable by its creators (new ideas)," "the only one company
specializing in plant dismantling," and "asset-light management.”
Patented methods, etc.
“Apple peeling demolition method” and fusing robot “Ringo☆Star”
The “apple peeling demolition method” is a method of dismantling a large spherical tank, such as gas holders and oil tanks, by cutting itin spirals from the center of the ceiling of the enclosure part. The cut part spirals down to the ground gradually under the force of theearth’s gravity (natural energy). The method enjoys superiority in a work period, cost, and safety, and has considerable competitive
advantages, realizing “greater promptness, higher cost efficiency, and added safety.” Furthermore, the company offers a robot for thefusing process, “Ringo☆Star,” which automates the “apple peeling demolition method.” (The company is also working to expand therange of applications for “Ringo☆Star” by developing a new attachment).
Environment-related methods
The company has cultivated experiences and business results of a multitude of environment-related demolition works, using the“fireless methods” which do not require the use of fire. For example, although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are considered as a
toxic substance and therefore totally abolished today, it had been used for many years in transformers and condensers because of its
excellent thermal stability and chemical stability (electric insulation characteristics). In many cases, transformers and condensers aredisposed of in conjunction with plant demolition works; however, because PCBs gasify when they are treated at the high temperature,posing a risk of inhaling the gas so generated, any firearms (such as gas cutting machines) cannot be used in demolition andwithdrawal involving PCBs. The company is skillful at fireless and quasi-fireless methods using saber saws (which cut off objects with
their saw blades moving in a reciprocating manner) that can cut off objects thicker than the thickness, which, in the industry, had been
considered impossible to cut, through numerous devices, including measures against seizure of motors and recycling of blades.
BESTERRA has applied for joint patents with Hitachi Plant Construction, Ltd. for a transformer dismantling method, a transformer
dismantling jig, and a cutting device for dismantling a transformer.

Windmill demolition works
The number of power-generating wind turbines continues to increase by about 20% annually worldwide, but the demand fordismantling is expected to increase in the future due to wear and tear and economic obsolescence. According to the company's data,
the global wind power generation amount has continued to grow at an annual rate of about 20%, reaching 486,790 MW(about 340,000 onshore units and about 4,000 offshore units). In Japan, there were 2,574 wind turbines as of the end of2021, mostly onshore, but the trend is shifting toward offshore wind power. Meanwhile, as the useful life is approximately 15 to
20 years, and the windmills for power generation established in the early stage are reaching the application limit. Moreover, not a few
plants need to be dismantled due to damage or fatal failure caused by thunderbolts or typhoons.
How to knock down a power-generating wind turbine (international patent application)
As some windmills have been built in mountain districts and on the sea, demolition of them is highly difficult. The company has
devised a method for dismantling wind turbines that does not require scaffolds and has already acquired a domestic patent for “Methodof knocking down a power-generating wind turbine.” International patents are pending for “Method of knocking down towering
structures using their bases” and “Method for dismantling tower-shaped equipment for wind power generation.” Safety of workers canbe improved dramatically, and the work period can be shortened by using these patent-based methods.
Pursuit of the value of the 3D business
Using services such as layout simulation, strain/bending/torsion measurement, comparison of structures before and after improvement,
and video walkthroughs, the company converts physical data taken when plants were established (more than 30 years ago) into thelatest 3D data and uses that to provide detailed information about the dismantling process. They also provide unique 3D measurement
services for dismantling work using the latest measuring technology and simulation systems that are capable of drawing data as 2D
diagrams, handling BIM/CIM modeling, Perfect 3D, and 3D printing, etc.
“Visualize” the dismantling process
Layout simulation
The equipment models produced with 3D CAD are placed in 3D data, and the replacement ofequipment can be simulated. By moving the equipment models, it is possible to check how theyinterfere and collide with one another.
Strain, bending, and torsion It is possible to measure changes in shapes. This is useful for diagnosing frameworks tentatively, tomeasurements
check whether a building got distorted due to an earthquake, deterioration, etc.
Comparison of structures The shapes of equipment that changes due to heat and vibration, such as pipes, conveyors, andbefore and after installation furnaces, at the time of installation and after operation are compared. With 3D data, it is possible tograsp overall changes intuitively.
Video walkthroughs
Walk-through videos are produced by using synthesized point cloud data. These videos can be utilized
for presentations and publicity videos regarding dismantlement plans and real estate information.
Unique 3D measurement service
Draws a two-dimensional The 3D CAD models based on point cloud data are converted into drawings. It is also possible todiagramproduce drawings directly from point cloud data in a simple manner.
Handles
BIM/CIM Modeling is conducted with 3D CAD based on point cloud data. It is possible to produce models ofmodeling
the parts that require construction or renovation as BIM (building information modeling) data.
Perfect 3D
This is a large-scale 3D data measurement service combining automobile-based MMS (mobile
mapping system), airborne laser measurement, water area measurement, etc.
3D printing
After modeling with point cloud data, data are processed and deformed so that they can be shaped witha 3D printer. It can produce fine structures with a lamination pitch of 15 μm.

Bridge Report（1433） September 29, 2023

https://www.bridge-salon.jp/

In the second quarter (May-July), the amount of completed works tends to be smaller. However, this term, the amount of completed
works is steadily increasing, as large-scale projects based on the percentage-of-completion method are progressing.

There is seasonality according to the capital investment plans of clients. The amount of completed works tends to increase in the second
half of the term. The company’s marketing strategy is to receive more orders for projects with a high profit margin as a prime contractor,
and the ratio of such orders is rising. However, gross profit margin is lower than usual, because the ongoing large-scale projects thecompany undertook as a prime contractor are less profitable, due to the marketing measures taken for receiving orders.

It is forecast that sales will grow and their business will move into the black.
It is expected that sales will grow 46.6% year on year to 8 billion yen and operating income/loss will improve from a loss in the previous
year to an income of 210 million yen.
The company has upwardly revised the sales in the initial forecast and downwardly revised all kinds of profits in the initial forecast. Thisis due to the ongoing dismantlement projects with a low profit margin and money-losing projects that emerged amid the increase in theamount of orders received. Considering these results, the company will try to receive orders for large-scale dismantlement projects,
which would yield stable profits, manage costs thoroughly, and secure personnel for these efforts actively with the new management
structure. The backlog of orders as of the end of the first half was record-high. The company will continue efforts to receive more orders
for dismantlement, stabilize profit with its business scale, recruit dismantling workers actively, and improve the precision of priceestimation and dismantlement cost management by utilizing IT, including AI. The company will steadily proceed with its business for
attaining sales of 12 billion yen and an operating income of 1.2 billion yen, which are mentioned in the new Medium-term Management
Plan “Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025,” which will be described below.
The company plans to pay an interim dividend of 10 yen/share and a term-end dividend of 10 yen/share for a total of 20 yen/share,unchanged from the previous year. The expected payout ratio is 90.7%.

4. New medium-term management plan “Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025”
In the term ended January 2023, both sales and profit were significantly below initial forecasts. Thus, the company has
formulated a new medium-term management plan, Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025, in place of the Medium-Term
Management Plan 2025, which it has been implementing since the term ended January 2022. Under the new management
system, the company will position the term ending January 2024 to the term ending January 2026 as a turning point for further
growth. The company decided to improve profitability by promoting decarbonization-oriented management and reforming its
corporate culture, taking into account changes in the business environment in Japan and within this industry.
4-1 Business environment analysis(1) Japan
Toward the realization of carbon neutrality in 2050, the demolition market is expected to expand further, with demolition
progressing mainly for buildings in which 50 years or more have passed since their construction.
In the electric power market, the diversification of the energy mix will be significantly reviewed toward 2030, and a significant
reduction of low-efficiency coal-fired power plants is expected.
In the steel manufacturing market, due to the progress of corporate restructuring and aging, it is necessary to remove andrepair redundant facilities.
In the petroleum and petrochemical markets, many industrial complexes were built during the high economic growth period.
Therefore, it is expected that facilities will be upgraded and reorganized from the perspective of international competitivenessand excessive production capacity.
In other manufacturing markets, facilities are expected to be renovated and dismantled due to the evolution of technology
known as the 4th industrial revolution and the impact of business rationalization due to changes in domestic supply anddemand.

The following changes in the business environment and needs can be seen.
Increase of separate orders for dismantling When a client (facility owner) places an order with a company specializing
in demolition, there are many cases in which the reliability of the demolition
company as a new business partner becomes a problem, as it is necessary toplace an order with a company that complies with all laws and regulations
and meets the high safety standards of each plant. In order to receive directorders, the demolition company needs to be a listed company with highcreditworthiness and possesses technologies that do guarantee not only safe
demolition but are also safe for the environment.
In conventional plant demolition work, there were many cases in which aclient (facility owner) ordered the demolition of old facilities and theconstruction of new ones together. Due to the increase in demolition workthat does not involve renewal and the rising difficulty of demolition work due
to various laws and regulations, the orders for demolition work to specialized
construction companies are increasing.
Adopting computer-aided construction

New needs for decarbonized work

Due to the labor shortage in the construction industry because of the declining
birthrate and aging population, efforts to computerize construction havebecome an issue for the industry.
Clients (facility owners) in the manufacturing industry are demanding
environmental considerations and improved recycling rates not only in the
manufacturing process but also in construction.

(3) Company’s strengths
The company has a superior position as a plant demolition specialist (a rich track record), technological capabilities(decarbonized demolition®, patented methods, technology development, initiatives for DX), business alliances (Solutionoffering capabilities for the entire venous industry), reliability, comprehensive plant demolition management (demolition
method proposals, complying with environment-related laws and regulations, ability to purchase valuable materials,
appropriate treatment of industrial waste, ability to mobilize companies, etc.). In response to the above needs and changes, itwill harness these strengths to capture demand.
4-2 Overview of Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025

Bridge Report（1433） September 29, 2023

https://www.bridge-salon.jp/◎ Decarbonized Demolition®
The company offers demolition work that excels in terms of demolition period, cost, and safety and has a highly competitive
advantage. The company dismantles various plants using various environmentally friendly demolition methods, such as theapple peeling method, which cuts spirally from the center of the outer shell ceiling like peeling an apple when dismantlingspherical storage tanks such as gas holders and oil tanks.
Starting with the apple peeling method and the overturning method, the company holds and is applying for a number oftechnical patents in regard to buildings and areas the company works on, such as tanks, boilers, chimneys, cranes, 3D, andwindmills.
The company will propose dismantling methods using competitive patented methods that achieve safety, cost reduction,shortening of the dismantlement period, and reduction of CO2 emissions, which will lead to practical applications.
◎ Overturn dismantlement method
Steel structures such as chimneys, towers, and tanks have a tipping axis that is the center of gravity fixed by a solid concrete
foundation and anchor bolts.
The company's overturning method is a dismantlement method that can reliably control the overturning direction and safely
overturn in a predetermined direction by carefully calculating the overturning axis and cutting the concrete foundation.
In addition, it is possible to reduce costs and shorten the demolition period caused by transporting and assembling large cranes.
Therefore, it can reduce CO2 emissions up to 1/10 compared to the method of dismantling while lifting with a regular crane.
◎ Dismantling of wind power generation facilities
The amount of wind power generated in the world is 486,790 MW, which is increasing by about 20% every year, and there isa shift to offshore wind power generation, which generates more power.
In Japan, most of them are also land-based, but there is a shift to offshore types. Land-based wind turbines have a useful lifeof about 15 to 20 years, and the wind turbines for power generation that were installed in the early stage have reached thelimit of their use. Furthermore, it is assumed that a considerable number of them need to be dismantled due to damage or fatal
failure due to lightning strikes, typhoons, etc.
In such a market environment, the company concluded a licensing agreement with Hitachi Power Solutions Co., Ltd. for thecompany's patented dismantling method for dismantling domestic onshore wind power generation facilities.
By combing Hitachi Power Solutions Co., Ltd.'s strengths (achievements as a Hitachi Group, abundant technology related towind power generation equipment, advanced technology for power plant design and maintenance) and the company's strengths(unique demolition methods and know-how, extensive experience in demolition of plants, rich experience in environmentrelated work), the company has established superiority in terms of shortening the dismantlement period, reducing CO2
emissions, and ensuring safety. The company will strive to capture demand in the wind power generation facility dismantlingmarket.
◎ Fire-free dismantling method
The company's non-fire dismantling method, which does not use fire, captures demand for demolition work in plant premises
where the use of fire is limited and dismantling work, such as transformers containing hazardous substances (PCB), and is
producing great results.
With the company's unique know-how, it is possible to cut large equipment with a thickness that exceeds the standard in theindustry, and it is expected to be used in the decommissioning of nuclear power plants in the future. The company is also
developing new cutting blades for this method.
◎ Handling PCB and asbestos-Stripping of PCB containing films
PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) is one of the chemically synthesized organochlorine compounds. It is colorless, transparent,
chemically stable, heat-resistant, insulating, and non-water-soluble, so it has various applications such as an insulating oil forelectrical equipment such as transformers, capacitors, and ballasts, and a solvent for pressure-sensitive paper, paints, andprinting inks. However, its production was discontinued in 1972 because it was easily absorbed into the body, highly persistent,
and was associated with chronic toxicity, such as skin disorders.
16Bridge Report（1433） September 29, 2023

https://www.bridge-salon.jp/

When the Ministry of the Environment investigated the use of PCBs in buildings (chemical plants, oil storage tanks, gas tanks,
bridges, etc.), the surveyed facilities were constructed or repainted between 1966 and 1974. Of these, it was estimated that
1%, or about 90 billion yen, requires proper disposal of PCB coatings. Since the survey subject was mainly public structures
owned by local governments, the demand for private facilities is expected to increase in the future.
The company has concluded a business alliance agreement with Mitani Sangyo Co., Ltd. for surface coating removal workwhen dismantling spherical gas holders. The company has established technology for safely removing PCB-containing
coatings that are difficult to remove by combining Mitani Sangyo's shot blasting (surface paint stripping) technology with thecompany's dismantling technology.
- Asbestos removal
Asbestos is a fibrous silicate mineral that is naturally produced, and because its fibers are extremely fine, unless necessary
measures are taken when using it in facilities such as grinders and cutting machines, the asbestos will scatter and be inhaledby humans, potentially causing lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma.
Asbestos-related laws and regulations were revised in April 2022, strengthening measures to prevent the scattering of asbestos
during the demolition work of buildings.
In anticipation of the expansion of the asbestos removal market, the company made Yazawa Co., Ltd., which has advanced
technology for asbestos removal, a group company in December 2021, to conduct asbestos removal work in-house.
◎ Work against soil contamination
Soil pollution means soil being contaminated with hazardous substances (heavy metals, volatile organic compounds,chemicals, oil, etc.). Owners of land with facilities that use hazardous substances that have been abolished, such as factories,
are obligated to detoxify soil contamination based on investigations by designated organizations.
The plants to be dismantled by the company cover a large area, and appropriate treatment of soil contamination is required.
The company anticipates that there will be many projects for coping with soil contamination associated with the renovationand decommissioning of facilities in the future.
(Main measures/policies)
The company will promote the following measures to expand carbon-free demolition solutions.
◎ Enhancement of bases
In order to acquire recurring revenue-type orders (continuous orders from customers, permanent work on the same premises)
and receive more orders nationwide, the company opened an office in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which is close to
the Kitakyushu factory area. Moreover, the company is expanding its bases in western Japan, including the establishment of
a new workshop in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture.
The company is also considering opening offices in Nagoya, Osaka, and Sendai.
◎ Strengthening cooperation with partner companies
The company will build a platform for plant dismantling technology for decommissioning-related business by promoting
partnerships with other companies that make the most of each other's strengths.

The number of users of AutoCAD provided by AUTODESK® is about 700 million worldwide, and it has built the largest
community in CAD software.
3D Visual K.K., a group company, developed AutoCAD add-on software, AUSE, to further improve functions, enhancecompatibility, strengthen product appeal, and expand sales through a subscription model.
◎ Crane rail inspection robot (innovation of inspection methods)
Overhead cranes, which are installed in plants and factory facilities and used to transport heavy objects and parts, are subject
to distortion due to deterioration over time and, if left unattended, can lead to serious accidents. Therefore, the Safety
Regulations for Cranes by the Industrial Safety and Health Act require crane installation companies to conduct self-inspections
annually and monthly.
However, conventional visual inspections had challenges, such as the risk of accidents due to workers climbing up the ceiling,
unevenness due to visual inspection, and opportunity loss due to the suspension of factory operations during the inspection.
In order to carry out this periodic inspection safely and efficiently, the company has jointly developed with iXs Co. Ltd. arobot that runs on crane rails and performs inspections.
The robot provides crane installation companies with advantages such as less risk of workers getting into accidents, always
acquiring accurate and precise data, inspections being done in a short time, and inspections being possible in spare time.
◎ Capital and business alliance with Crassone Co., Ltd.
In September 2022, the company signed a capital and business alliance agreement on demolition DX technology with Crassone
Co., Ltd., which operates a platform for demolition work.
By establishing a system where both companies provide their different fields of expertise, such as the company's know-how
related to actual work and recycling of waste material processing that it has cultivated over many years in the demolitionbusiness and the knowledge of IT and online services that Crassone has accumulated in the matching platform business,
Besterra aims to expand the business of both companies through bringing DX to the demolition business, which is expected
to increase in the future.

professional or management positions in mid-career training. After that, the company can foster an entrepreneurial spirit
through management training.
The company will formulate and operate a personnel system that focuses on individual work styles.
◎ Knowledge management
The company will transform the tacit knowledge and technology, which are based on the experience and knowledge ofindividuals unevenly distributed within the company, through the creation of information databases and the use ofcommunication tools, into explicit knowledge shared throughout the organization. By visualizing and efficiently using thisexplicit knowledge, the company will eliminate information asymmetry and promote organizational growth.
◎ Adoption of a commendation system

5. Conclusions
In the first half of this term, sales grew considerably, but a loss was posted, and all kinds of forecast profits were revised downwardly,
indicating that performance was somewhat disappointing. However, at the beginning of the briefing session, President Honda gave areassuring comment, “We are preparing for achieving sales of 100 billion yen, the goal set at the time of listing, and a system being
established with promising features.” The 227.8% increase in the amount of orders received and the 381.2% rise in the backlog of orders
certainly indicate their strong momentum. On the other hand, profit is unfavorable, and it seems that they need to urgently take somemeasures for increasing profit. The number of orders for recurring dismantlement projects (stable and continuous) is increasing as they
focus on such projects, and the company receives business inquiries steadily. As the number of employees has increased, enhancing
marketing activities, and a system for handling orders at high levels is being established.
In addition, there is strong potential demand for “decarbonization demolition solutions (innovation through dismantlement methods)"
and "DX plant solutions (innovation utilizing IT)," which are key strategies in the "Action Plan for Decarbonization 2025," and thebusiness environment is favorable.
It remains to be seen whether the company can leverage its strengths under the new management structure to cultivate the market as
quickly as expected.
