1. Analysis of Operating Results and Financial Position (1) Analysis of the Operating Results

During this fiscal year, the Japanese economy has generally recovered somewhat and the export industry has been achieving an

improvement in profits with the continued assistance of various economic policies implemented by the Japanese government, the

flexible monetary policy promoted by the Bank of Japan, and the weaker yen. On the other hand, with intensifying concern about

the downturn of the economies of China and other emerging nations and resource-rich countries, uncertainty over the outlook of the

Japanese economy has been increasing.

Regarding the environment surrounding the personnel placement business, the ratio of job openings to applicants (adjusted for

seasonal reasons) in February 2016 increased to 1.28, an improvement of 0.13 point from the end of the previous fiscal year.

Unemployment (adjusted seasonally) became 3.3%, which was 0.2 point worse than the end of the previous fiscal year.

Under these circumstances, in April 2015 the Company welcomed 300 new graduates, the largest number of new employees since

its foundation, and established seven new sales offices during the current fiscal year (27 offices in all) to strengthen the basis of the

sales structure. The mainstay Media Division focused on increasing and improving content and enhancing the quality of the site for

recruitment, as well as investing heavily in advertising to increase the number of site users and members. The agent division

strengthened its customer base and invested positively in advertising in order to increase the number of new nursing job registrants.

As a result, fiscal year sales were ¥26,798million (37.2% more than a year earlier), operating income ended at ¥7,162million (49.0%

more than a year earlier) and ordinary profit ended at ¥7,170million (48.8% more than a year earlier). Net income was

¥4,675million (63.7% more than a year earlier), partly affected by exemption from the accumulated earnings tax of a specified

family company for the current fiscal year (corporate, inhabitant and enterprise taxes of ¥186million based on the assumption of

application to the current year).

The operating results by division are as follows:

1. Media division

The media division is a job information advertising business comprised of Baitoru.com and Hatarako.net.

Baitoru invested heavily in advertising to increase recognition and acquire users, and sought to meet diverse user demands.

Regarding advertising, the AKB48 groups continued to be used for TV commercials, etc. of Baitoru, and specifically, the TV

commercial featuring mother and daughter to increase the number of part time job registrants and the TV commercial highlighting

the top ranking of overall user satisfaction evaluation (Note 1) were aired. In addition, the Company independently sponsored the

TV program “ATSUSHI X PARURU no ○○PART-TIME JOB!” which introduces employees via a video showing the workplace,

one of the characteristics of Baitoru. On “Baitoru memorial day” on August 10, 2015, the “Baitoru Memorial Day Special Live” was

held, inviting 8,100 Baitoru users. In addition, the project “Baito AKB” was carried out to recruit the official members of the

AKB48 groups on a part-time basis, and other topical unique promotion activities were conducted. Moreover, the Company

provided users with useful information by using the official account of the free communication application “LINE” (Note 2)

operated by LINE Corporation to promote the recruitment application and distributed the Baitoru original stamp to users registered

with official accounts in May and September 2015 to promote user registration. Moreover, to meet diverse user demands, the

Company launched an application providing job information for full-time and contract employees, “Baitoru employees (iOS

version),” an application for searching for part-time jobs based on uniform, “snap Baitoru,” and the new function “Baitoru push”

using “iBeacon” (Note 3) in the area of Shibuya and Shinjuku wards, Tokyo.

For Hatarako.net, given an increase in demand following the revision of the worker dispatching act in September 2015, the TV

commercial featuring the actress Aya Ueto continued to be aired as in the previous fiscal year, promoting the advantages of working

as temporary staff. Meanwhile web advertising, which is highly effective for recruitment, was actively used with a focus on boosting

recognition of the Company’s services and users. In addition, the application form on the site was revised to improve usability.

In addition to the strategy described above, an expanded sales force and the concentration to grow the client base and the total

number of job postings, allowed us to post total sales figure for this division of ¥23,956 million (41.0% more than a year earlier) and

operating profit of ¥8,781 million (49.5% more than last year).

(Note 3) “iBeacon” is a trademark of Apple Inc.

2. Agent division

“Nurse de Hatarako” introduces medical workplaces to nurses who register on the site.

We place importance on personnel and training through the recruitment of career advisors, and opened the Sapporo office to expand

our business presence with a new office. In addition, we invested in effective advertising plans and improved content that is helpful

for job changes in order to increase the number of nursing job registrants. Since the launch of “Nurse de Hatarako,” we have

continued to provide a diligent service to support nurses in their work with the aim of helping them enjoy greater job satisfaction.

Under the “program for the certification of companies to provide excellence in recruiting services” that was established in March

2015, the Company was certified as one of the first “companies to provide excellence in recruitment services.” Rakuten research

also showed that we attained first prize for service in the field of recruitment for nurses in April 2015. These things are confirmation

of our high standard of service.

As a result, sales for this division were ¥2,841,million (11.6% more than a year earlier) and profit was ¥450 million (12.8% less than

a year earlier).

Outlook for the next fiscal year FY2017

The forecast for the Japanese and global economies requires careful evaluation because of the high uncertainty that remains,

including the financial policies of each central bank and the slowdown in the growth rate of Chinese and other emerging economies.

However, the ratio of job openings to applicants in February 2016 was 1.28, the highest level since December 1991, and it is

expected to remain at that level under the domestic employment environment for the following fiscal year.

Under these conditions, DIP Corporation will invest further in the sales force for our Media division. Regarding the job information

business for part time workers, as the transition of the media for job information searches used by users continues from free paper

and other paper media to smartphones and other Internet media, we will enhance content and load more movie content as well as

focusing on improving services to secure part-time workers and elderly workers, among which the ratio of smartphone holdings and

recruitment is expected to increase, and to meet demand for the employment of full-time workers.

In accordance with the increase in demand for workers, the market for part time jobs will expand. At the same time, it is assumed

that competition in our business will be severe. DIP Corporation continues to invest in advertising, including TV commercials and

web advertising, so that we can improve the recognition of our brand and grow the number of users.

For the agent division, we will focus on effective advertising to capture new nurse registrants as well as enhancing the productivity

of career advisors for greater satisfaction among nurses and more growth and profitability in this division.

The forecast for FY2017 based on the above information is expected as;

Sales amount ¥32,000 million

Operating income ¥8,500 million

Ordinary income ¥8,502 million

Genuine profit ¥5,641 million

(Fixed Assets)

Fixed assets at the end of FY2016 amounted to ¥3,313 million, which is ¥555 million more than at the end of FY2016. The

―6―

The increase is mainly due to a ¥342 million increase in outstanding payment.

(Fixed Liabilities)

Fixed liabilities at the end of FY2016 amounted to ¥388 million, which is ¥135 million more than at the end of FY2016. The

increase was mainly due to a ¥33 million increase in deferred tax liability and a ¥65 million increase in asset retirement

obligations.

(Net assets)

Net assets at the end of FY2016 amounted to ¥10,384 million, which is ¥3,741 million more than at the end of FY2016. The

2. Cash Flow

For the current fiscal year, cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter called “funds”) amounted to ¥7,219 million, an increase of

¥3,078 million from the end of the previous fiscal year.

The cash flow breakdown is as follows:

(Cash Flow from operating activities)

For the current fiscal year funds from operating activities amounted to ¥4,991 million increased by ¥1,113 million. This was

mainly because of the ¥7,170million in genuine profit before tax, the ¥835 million in depreciation and an increase of ¥514 million

in other liabilities exceeding the ¥2,693 million in income taxes paid and an increase of ¥1,075 million in notes and accounts

receivable.

(Cash Flow from investment activities)

For the current fiscal year, investment activities consumed ¥802 million in funds (¥544 million less than a year earlier). This is

mainly due to the expenditures for the acquisition of tangible fixed assets amounting to ¥206,000,000, the expenditures for the

acquisition of intangible fixed assets amounting to ¥936 million, and the expenditures for deposits and guarantee money

amounting to ¥172 million exceeding the proceeds from the withdrawal of time deposits amounting to ¥500 million.

(Cash Flow from financing activities)

(3) Basic Policy on Profit Sharing and Dividends for the Current and Upcoming Fiscal Years DIP considers profit distribution to shareholders to be one of its most important management tasks. We intend to continue making

stable profit distribution to shareholders by setting a dividend standard in consideration of the business circumstances surrounding

the Company through an increase in corporate value and maintaining the internal reserve necessary for strengthening the financial

structure and business expansion.

In addition, in order to enrich the opportunity to share the dividends with the stockholders, we share the dividends twice each fiscal

year: interim dividend and year-end dividend.

Under this policy, the dividend for the fiscal year 2016 that was calculated by the dividend payout ratio is 9 yen (Note) for the

interim dividend and 17 yen for regular dividend per stock, in total 26 yen per stock.

For the dividends for the fiscal year 2017, they are calculated to be 12 yen for interim dividend and19 yen for regular dividend, in

total 31yen for annual regular dividend per stock, corresponding to the sales and financial forecast.

(Note) The Company conducted a stock split at the ratio of one (1) common share to five (5) shares effective as of September 1,

2015. Accordingly, the interim dividend per share for FY2016 was calculated as if the said stock split was conducted at the

beginning of FY2016.

(4) Risks The main potential risks to our business are stated below. Some of the statements are not necessarily risks of our business; they are

stated because they can be important when understanding our business or investment in this sector. DIP Corporation addresses

these risks when they are recognized; however, any investment in DIP Corporation should be made after fair consideration on the

part of the investor. It must be taken into account that the statement below does not cover all the possible risk of investment.

1. System

Due to the nature of the business of operating information websites on the Internet, the Company is likely to be substantially

affected by developments in communication networks that connect systems on websites.

If our computer systems fail due to large-scale and/or wide-reaching natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, fires, computer

viruses, loss of electrical power, communication failures, or other causes that are unpredictable at this point, we may be forced to

suspend business. We constantly take care to ensure data back-up systems against these situations are in place. In addition, there

are other types of risks, such as the disabling of servers (by us or our ISP due to temporary overload), unauthorized access by third

parties, or network failures due to an operational error by an employee.

If any of these occur, the credibility of the Company may be damaged and actions or claims for damages may arise. In the event of

such a failure, the Company’s operating results and financial position may be substantially affected.

2. Protection of personal information and information security

For the protection of our clients seeking staff and our users searching for jobs using our websites, we employ the Secure Sockets

Layer (SSL) protocol as the security mode for utilization of our systems and to provide security when transmitting data.

SSL encodes the data between the company and the job seeker, ensuring that all information is protected from interception,

alteration and spoofing.

If a serious problem occurs, such as the unauthorized disclosure of personal information, the Company may have to assume legal

responsibility, regardless of the terms and conditions of any membership contract. Even if the Company is able to avoid legal

responsibility, it will lose credibility with job seekers and companies seeking employees. In addition, the Company’s business and

operating results may be affected negatively by the damage to the brand image.

To prevent such a situation, the Company acquired the Privacy Mark to ensure strict control of all personal information.

Furthermore, we also acquired ISMS Conformity Assessment System in October 2005. Thereafter, when we had the inspection for

continuation of ISMS certification the Company applied for evaluation for transfer to ISO 27001 (JISQ 27001) and certification

was granted on November 2006.

3. Intellectual property rights

―8―

In the business of providing information services on the Internet, the Company may face severe competition or be sued if a

competitor acquires any relevant utility model rights or patent, which could have a negative impact on our operating results and

financial position.

We do not recognize the potential for an actual case at this moment, but we cannot completely rule out the possibility that we

might be obligated to compensate for violation of utility model rights or a patent related to the whole or a part of the business,

which someone in Japan or abroad have already acquired.

Our intellectual properties also have the possibility to be infringed by a third party, which could have a negative impact on our

operating results and financial position.

4. Competition

In the field of job information service there are many other competitors using the Internet to post job information of “Part time

jobs” “Temporary staff jobs” and “Full time jobs.” There are more new competitors coming into our field every year, as the barrier

to entry in this business is low. It is the same for the nursing job information business. We committed to developing new services

and functions in order to attract nurses but the competition with other companies is getting severe. If the company fails to

differentiate itself from competitors, we may be substantially affected.

5. New businesses

The Company’s new business fields are closely related to the Internet, we must adapt to constantly advancing trends in IT

technologies to satisfy the needs of our clients. However, if difficulties arise in recruiting system experts, including IT engineers,

or if system development falls behind schedule, the timely launch of a new business will be impaired, and the Company’s business

and operating results as a whole may be substantially affected.

We constantly develop new services and new businesses however this may lead to a lower profit rate due to the investment on

system development and advertising.

Sometimes the consequences may be different from what was planned. In such case we might be substantially affected.

6. Dependence on Media division

The share of Media division sales (¥23,956 million from total sales of FY2016 ¥26,798 million) is 89.4%. We depend on the

Media division, which has the site “Baitoru.com” as its core business. We may be substantially affected if the Media division fails

to grow due to competition with other job information companies. The efforts to diversify our business have led us to tackle the

nursing job information segment by the Agent division, and to other new businesses. Nevertheless if a new business does not start

as planned, we might be substantially affected as the share of Media division to our total sales is still high and any dramatic change

in that division will affect our business and its results.

7. Impairment accounting

Accounting standards of impairment accounting are applied to DIP Corporation. When the profitability of the sites or significant

changes in business circumstance occur, the investment from the cash flow of the fixed assets will be declared impairment and we

may be substantially affected.

8. Trend in economic, employment and job information

The Media division that is our main business is a job information business. Our results are affected by the individual performance

of all companies that advertise their job vacancies on our sites. Due to unforeseen and uncontrollable trends in the economy,

employment market and job information, we may be substantially affected.

9. Seasonal trends

The Media division is affected by the seasonal job information that companies release. Most of the companies are happy to give

job information at the end of the accounting month or around the end of the year. These seasonal matters affect the results of our

media division.

In addition Media division is strongly affected not only by seasonal factors but also by general economical conditions.

On the other hand at the Agent division, Q1 tends to make the most of the sales. Since this division calculates the sales at the point

when the registrants actually start working at the new workplace; it tends to be in April when most of the sales are made. In the

future the influence of this seasonal factor may lessen as we develop new products.

10. Human resources

We rapidly expanded the scale of our business mainly by concentrating on Internet job information. In order to avoid stagnation

and continue to provide new services, it is crucial to retain our most distinguished staff as we must reinforce the sales staff and

develop new services. We may be substantially affected by not being able to retain enough of our core staff or in case that many of

our staff retire.

11. Legal matters

Recently there have been some security incidents wherein personal information on the Internet was illegally browsed, posted,

leaked and/or sold. There is a movement to change legal restrictions on the distribution of information or products on the Internet

correspondingly. At this moment the restrictions on businesses that uses the Internet to provide services are very limited. In the

future we may be substantially affected by expenses incurred in order to comply with any new law that may be enacted.

The Company is subject to a variety of different legal restrictions, such as Law on Securing, Etc. of Equal Employment

Opportunity and Treatment between Men and Women in Employment, Dispatching Undertakings and Improved Working

Conditions for Dispatched Workers, the Employment Security Law, Labor Standards Law, etc.

The Company operates in compliance with these laws; however, violation of these laws or their revision and enhancement may

lead to the possibility of limiting business and increasing expenses to comply with the new legal restrictions. This may result in

negative effects on The Company’s operating results and financial position. In addition the laws that rules the qualification of our

registrants such as Public Nursing Care Insurance Law, Act on Public Health Nurses, Midwives and Nurses may affect our sales

and financial states as our services are targeted to those who are qualified by these laws.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare licensed the Company as a recognized employment placement business provider. Our

registration number is: 13-ユ-303788 and expires on 2017 January 31st. We need this registration number to run our main

business; it may substantially affect our business if our license number is invalidated for any reason. The Employment Security

Law (Chapter 32, Section 9) defines the reasons why a license could be invalidated. At this moment (Feb.28/2015) our license is

valid. As of this date, there are, to the best of our knowledge, no factors that may result in the cancellation our registration number.

3. Management Policies (1) Basic Management Principles

DIP corporate policy is to strive to improve society with our Dreams, our Ideas and our Passion.

On a more focused level DIP basic management policy is to create better recruiting services capable of meeting the more

demanding and complicated needs of workers and employers, and finding the best match between the two. We must also allow for

changing patterns in employment. DIP also wants to be of help in creating as many jobs as possible in the medical institutions

where there is a chronic shortage of personnel by supporting better matching between nurses with medical facilities.

Most users of DIP services shifted from PC to smart phones and tablet terminal units that are rapidly spreading these days. DIP

focuses on building and providing an advanced and more convenient infrastructure as well as promoting the distribution of as

much information as possible on a real time basis via corresponding terminal units.

(2) Target Management Benchmark DIP views sales as important target management benchmarks. In a highly competitive environment, its policy is to improve the

operating income to net sales ratio in the medium to long term by expanding its share of the market. It aims to do this by

enhancing its competitive edge with a focus on advertising activities and the continuous improvement of products,

essential factors in attracting more job seekers/clients, while increasing awareness of the benefits of its products and services

through the active recruitment and training of a large number of sales personnel.

(3) Medium- and Long-Term Corporate Management Strategy The Japanese employment environment is assumed to continue its steady recovery. At the same time, the employment

advertising industry continues to shift from paper media to the Internet. We regard this movement as an opportunity to continue

increasing our market share.

In order to take advantage of this opportunity, we strive to offer the best services and to create fresh, relevant content and

functions on all our PC and mobile sites. It is our aim to see a better match between our clients’ requirements to expand their

businesses by adding quality staff, and the individual hopes of our members to further their careers and improve their lives.

Regarding the medical staff placement site that was established in September 2009; we will strengthen the support for this

division in order to match even more registrants and meet the demands of this industry. We remain open to the possibility of

launching new business ventures based on the internet even outside of the recruiting/advertising domain as such opportunities

may present themselves.

We are taking considerable steps to raise the profile of our brand through strategic investments in advertising and promotional

campaigns while bearing in mind the most effective way to disperse expenses and to improve the profit margin.

We have also worked to develop and guide our own staff members to be better at their jobs while asking our clients for greater

compliance. We are reaching for a high level of trust in the public mind and an evaluation in the market as a leader and a

trendsetter. We will also acquire users and clients from businesses other than the existing ones, improve the services of DIP, and

actively consider entry into other businesses through M&A or alliances, in order to increase our enterprise value, focusing on the

effective utilization of existing management resources, synergy with current businesses, and our corporate philosophy of

marketing efficiency.

(4) Challenges Facing the Company Main challenges that DIP Corporation deals with are as follows

1. Strengthen the divisions

Making improvements in the sales force and enhancing productivity are significant factors that must continuously be addressed

in order to maintain growth in our divisions. We will hire quality personnel and boost individual quality of our staff.

At the Media division we are enforcing advertising to collect users and promoting sales to insure the superiority of the site and

job information volume.

At the Agent division, we are improving matching by promoting the registration on our site which leads to satisfaction of the

both nurses and medical institutions.

―12―

2. Enhancing the brand value and expanding the users

To continue to see growth in our divisions, it is crucial to keep expanding the number of users and to improve the brand value.

We have improved both the quality and the quantity of job information.

This has been achieved by effective advertisement and promotional activities of the sites to improve the name value and expand

the users.

We enforce the business relationship between DIP and our clients by expanding a large scale of users and the improvement of

sales force.

3. Establishing a new business

We recognize that developing a new business based in the Internet, thereby providing new value to our company, is an urgent

matter for our company. We are going to tackle this matter as opportunities for organic cooperation with our current businesses

arise.

4. Strengthen the systems

We provide services via the Internet. In order to run our business and maintain stability we recognize that the facilities of

servers, the system for security, development and administration of the website are of critical importance. We invest in the system

facilities depending on the necessity and continuously upgrading the system to ensure the secure system and adapt ourselves to

changes in the market.

5. Privacy protection and Secured information

DIP views information as our most important business asset and spares no effort in building and maintaining information

security protocols that ensure the protection of all confidential information entrusted to us by strictly applying the company

protocol, training our staff regularly and structuring the security management system in order to manage the private information.

6. Strengthen the organization

In accordance with the expansion of our business, we are actively employing such as new graduates, system develop engineers.

We are continuously strengthening the organization by educating existing staff and enforcing the management team. In due course

it will enable us to improve the structure of our management and speed up decisions as well as to improve the business process

and the decision making process.

We also continue to maintain the internal controls in order to strengthen our organization.

(5) Other Significant Issues None

4. Basic Concept for Selection of the Accounting Standards We engage in business operations and raise funds mainly in Japan, and accordingly we use the Japanese standards at present.

As for the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we intend to take appropriate actions considering our

future business expansion and the movements of other domestic companies.
