Investment Highlights◆ Sustained growth of the aluminum die-cast business
Demand for aluminum die cast is expected to remain solid due to the movement todecrease the weight of automobiles to comply with environmental demands, and Ahresty
will continue to focus on aluminum die casts for automobiles. Only a handful ofcompanies are able to manufacture die cast parts of a high level of difficulty even on a
global basis, and Ahresty will work to expand sales by enhancing technologicalcapabilities and development capabilities in accordance with automobile manufacturers'
needs to further reduce weight.

Consolidated Net Sales◆ Acceleration of global expansion by strengthening overseas
production sites
Global expansion of business is backed by increasing demand for automotive die castparts, which are the company's main products. Since 2012, plants have been extended in
Guangzhou and Hefei in China, Mexico and India, and the Wilmington Plant in the UnitedStates is also being expanded. Ahresty is also strengthening its ability to compete on a
global level by flexibly responding to the local production needs of key customers andimproving productivity.

◆ Implementation of business improvement plan in the North
American businessNorth American Plants have had a significant impact on the deterioration of consolidated
performance in the year ending March 2015. Sales and earnings had both been
recovering steadily since the year ended March 2010 after the global financial crisis, butamid continued burgeoning demand for a growing number of new items and items withincreased volume particularly since the third quarter of the year ended March 2014, there
has been a deterioration in productivity due to a decline in workers' skill level resulting
from delays in education and training after increasing the number of personnel to cater forincreased demand, and teething problems with newly produced products.
An improvement project was launched in August 2014 to draw up an overall improvement
plan for American plants centered on a plan to improve productivity for key products witha large impact, and this has been fully implemented since October. In addition topromoting training for improving the skills of workers and ensuring the safety ofequipment, an effort is being made to improve performance by decreasing labor costs
stemming from overtime and holiday work, and reducing irregular product transportation
costs through the improvement of productivity. At present, the improvement plan isproceeding almost on schedule, and after achieving profitability on a monthly basis inMarch 2015, we expect to maintain profitability and return to previous levels by thesecond half of the year ending March 2015.
