MESSAGE FROM CEO“Accelerating Overseas Expansion”

A challenging business environment continued for us during Fiscal Year 2012, which is the first year of our 6th mid-term
plan, particularly with weak domestic production activity in Japan and difficulties in the electronics industry. Within thisenvironment, we have focused on execution of our strategic actions that we have outlined in our mid-term plan; “Businessdevelopment in the Asian market”, “Broadening business domain through M&A”, and “Streamlining group management ”.
With regards to Asian market development, we have established a wholly owned subsidiary in Taiwan, and also a joint
venture with a local company with strong expertise in precision cleaning. We plan to expand our precious metal recycling
business in Taiwan with initial focus on the electronics and semiconductor industry. We have also established a representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to further develop and better service our customer base in the Vietnam and Thailand
area. With these new locations added to our existing offices and facilities in Korea, China, and Malaysia, we shall make solid
progress in developing business in Asia. In the environmental preservation segment, we have added INTER CENTRAL, INC.
to our portfolio of companies through M&A. INTER CENTRAL manufactures and sells heating equipment, and also designs
and constructs eco-friendly air conditioning systems based on radiant technology. This is a brand new business area for us,
but we expect high growth potential. In order to support the dynamic change and growth of the businesses, we continuously work towards establishing a strong management infrastructure, efficient management system, and low cost base, andwill always pursue to become an efficient and agile corporate group as a whole. During FY2012, we have been selected by
the Tokyo Stock Exchange as an ESG themed stock. ESG stands for “Environmental”, “Social”, and “Governance”, and we
consider this to be a result of high recognition of our ESG related activities. We will continue to manage with strong awareness of ESG, and shall contribute towards establishing a sustainable society. Your continued support will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Business Expansion in Asian Market

In February 2013, Asahi Pretec Taiwan Co., Ltd. was established as a subsidiary in Taiwan and started operation from April 2013. In parallel,a joint-venture, “Asahi Shih Her Technologies Co., Ltd.”, with Shih Her Technologies Inc. was established. We will promote our precious
metal collection, recycling and cleaning business, in which jig and tools from electronics, semiconductor and LED manufacturing equipments are treated. Both companies are located in Hsin-chu city in Taiwan, which is the hub of electronics and semiconductor industry.
We will expand our precious metal recycling business in the area, leveraging of our high-level technology. In April 2013, we also started
operation at the representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to conduct market research and to enforce the local support in Vietnam and the surrounding.

TOPICS

Asahi Metal Account System (For dental customers)

We launched the system in May 2012 as the first service in the field of dental industry. Based on the analysis results of the precious metals
collected from dentists or dental laboratories, we keep the metals and customers deposit them on the web. According to the balance ofthe deposit on the web, customers can choose cash settlement or actual metal return exclusively for gold at their own discretion.

Treatment of Speciﬁed Hazardous
Waste Acid, Waste Alkaline andWaste Reagents
It is necessary to appropriately treat waste acid and waste alkalinedischarged from plants and business offices and waste reagents
which are unnecessary at laboratories and institutes of universities
and private companies. These various kinds of waste are treated fordetoxification on the line exclusively at each plant by utilizing
technology which has been cultivated over many years by ourgroup under thorough safety management procedures. Waste isseparately stored in containers in accordance with classification
standards of our group and measures are taken to prevent abnormal reactions during collection, transportation and storage. In caseof waste reagents with unknown content due to peeled off labels ofbottles of waste reagents, we analyze them and provide appropriate treatment support.

Waste Reagent Treatment Facility

High-Speed Microbial Treatment ofWaste Acid/Alkaline and Sludg
After removing hazardous substances from waste liquids fromplants and offices, even if liquids contain nitrogen and phosphorus,
they are detoxified and purified to discharge standards by our
original technology, including microbial treatment, etc., and are
discharged. In particular, energy consumption and CO2 emissions
are lower than other treatment methods.
Sludge after neutralization and dewatering of waste liquids arereused for raw materials of non-ferrous metals and steel. Somesludge which cannot be recycled is sent for landfill disposal.

Micro Organisms Facility

Concreting of hazardous substances
Some wastes from incinerators that contain burnt residues, dust,
sludge and harmful substances (heavy metals, dioxins, lead andarsenic, chrome, selenium, etc.) may not be suited for recycling. We
process concrete with waste into a solidified form (insoluble) in sucha way that harmful substances will not be eluted. We possess
original facilities and technologies that prevent harmful substancesfrom eluting into the natural environment even under powerfulacidic conditions.
Insoluble Treatment Facility

Cleaning and Treatment ofHazardous Wastes
We clean and treat the hazardous waste on the semiconductor
manufacturing devices and a variety of laboratory equipment frommanufacturers of semiconductors, electronics components andresearch laboratories. After cleaning and treatment, the devices andequipment are separated by material and recycled for the reductionof environmental burden.

Company Overview● Recycling of waste oil and sludge
Based on analysis results, various kinds of waste oil and liquid waste are blended in an optimal formula,and the ingredients are adjusted to produce supplementary fuels used in cement production andwaste incineration. Furthermore, sludge and burnt residues are also recycled into cement materials by
adjusting their ingredients and moisture and by kneading. Thoroughgoing analysis is also performed

Fire-proof Bricks● Glass Recycling
We collect sheet glass and glass bottles from glass manufacturers, sash manufacturers and local municipalities. Sheet glass scraps and glass bottles collected are reused and sold for high-quality glass cullet
after separation and crushing at our plant. Glass scraps which are not usable for glass materials are recycled as paving materials. Through glass recycling, we are helping to prevent exhaustion of mineral
resources and reduce the environmental burden.
