1. Qualitative Information

As of the date of disclosure of this quarterly earnings report, the review procedures for quarterly financial statements in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act are in progress.

(1) Operating Environment

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, the global economy continued its recovery from the second half of 2012, albeit at a very slow pace.

Growth in the U.S. economy was driven by consumer spending amid stronger-than-expected increases in employment and a bottoming out in housing markets. In Japan, the second preliminary estimates of real GDP for the Jan-Mar 2013 expanded at an annualized rate of 4.1% compared with the previous quarter, the highest rate among the major advanced economies. Growth was spurred by ‘Abenomics’ policies, which supported increases in consumer spending and exports.

In Europe, the overall economy continues to register negative growth. The financial crisis is still having an impact and employment and personal incomes are showing little sign of improvement. In China, the government is clearly shifting its policy focus from the pace of growth to the sustainability of growth. GDP growth in China has now slowed for the last two quarters, and concerns are emerging about the impact of the slowdown in growth rates.

Turning to conditions in commodities markets, prices softened slightly due to the impact of slowing growth in Chinese demand. The oil price (WTI) declined to slightly under the US$90-per-barrel level in mid-April, but subsequently rebounded and is now trading at over US$100 per barrel. We believe the rise in the oil price partly reflects concerns about growing geopolitical risk in the Middle East. Mirroring the trend in oil prices, the spot reference price for iron ore (Iron Ore (Fine) CFR North China (Fe 62%)) fell through the US$110-per-ton level at one point, before rebounding to around US$130 per ton. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, iron ore generally traded in a range of US$110–140 per ton.

Emerging countries that drove expansion in the global economy in recent years are losing momentum while advanced economies are gaining strength. Under these circumstances, two bearish factors for the global economy, i.e. a slowing in growth in China and a concern for gradual scale-back of the U.S. Quantitative Easing 3, are now emerging. Although the economic outlook remains uncertain, our view that the global economy as a whole will continue to expand at a moderate pace is unchanged.
