Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation was established on April 1, 2009, through the merger of Century Leasing System, Inc. and Tokyo Leasing Co., Ltd. to create a comprehensive, solution-oriented financial services company.
The new company will occupy a leading position in the industry with total revenues of 743 billion yen*1, ordinary income of 22 billion yen*1, and operating assets of 2,100 billion yen*1. Our expanded business domain will reinforce profitability, while our broad business foundation will constitute a major advantage. The new company possesses a diverse range of major shareholders, including the Mizuho Financial Group, Inc., ITOCHU Corporation, Nippon Tochi-Tatemono Co., Ltd., Nippon Life Insurance Company, and Asahi Mutual Life Insurance Company. In addition, its manufacturing-oriented operating base has been strengthened over the past few years through a merger with Kawasaki Enterprises Inc. and through the transformation of Fujitsu Leasing Co., Ltd. into a subsidiary, further distinguishing us as a truly comprehensive company in terms of our business foundation.

Stronger signs of recession are appearing in the Japanese economy, as confusion in the global financial and capital markets caused by the U.S. financial crisis places greater strain on corporate performance, resulting in employment adjustments and declining capital investment.
Other signs, however, have been promising. Outsourcing demand has been vigorous throughout the lifecycle of goods, from installation to disposal. Financing needs centered on small and medium-sized enterprises have remained strong. And public expectations are high for our ability as leasing companies to respond to diversifying customer needs as well as for our capabilities in advanced product development, solution proposals, and information.Ｗe are committed to ensuring the success of this newly merged company through a united group-wide effort. To this end, we deeply appreciate the continued support and encouragement of our shareholders and investors.
