### Challenges in School Fee Collection Operations While cashless payments are progressing in public accounting expenses such as school lunch fees by local governments, fee collection operations related to private accounting expenses like teaching material fees and school trip savings are handled by individual schools. In some regions, children bring cash to school, and school staff manage the cash. Such operations impose a significant burden on both school staff and parents.

The Company aims to solve these challenges in private accounting fee collection operations at schools and is strengthening its support for school fee collection. By promoting cashless fee collection, the Company aims to reduce administrative burdens and management risks for school staff, contributing to creating an environment where they can focus more on educational activities.

### Features of the Fee Collection Agency Service This service offers two types of payment methods: "bank transfer," suitable for regular collections, and "convenience store payment," suitable for spot collections, allowing for flexible use depending on the purpose. It also features an affordable fee structure that is easy to implement, and functions for managing billing and collection by grade and item.

### Background of Increased School Adoption Since the release of "School Collect" in July 2024, the cumulative number of adopted schools has exceeded 1,000 in approximately one year and eight months, showing steady expansion. A key feature is the thorough follow-up system, from proposal to post-implementation operation.

We believe this success is the result of earnestly addressing the challenges faced by schools and parents, and constantly seeking "the most suitable solutions for both parties."

### Future Outlook Moving forward, we aim to further expand the number of adopted schools, targeting a cumulative total of 2,000 schools nationwide within two years.
