■Business environment and influence from FIT

PV module manufacturing

equipment

NPC products & services

・Our main customers are US PV module manufacturers

・US manufacturers mainly focus on the growing US market

Business environment

PV panel inspection services

・Approx. 30GW projects approved under FIT have not yet constructed

・Construction of power plants are to continue for the time being in Japan

・Shift strategy to achieve P/O for regular inspections for power plants

already under operation

PV panel reuse/recycling・Demand will increase for second-hand panels for self-consumption which

require lower costs・Japanese market has potential demand with large cumulative installation

volume of more than 60GW (3rd largest in the world)・Discarded panels are increasing due to the end of plant operation and

natural disasters

FIT rate cut back or ending of the scheme will not influence our business

■Impact on business due to US-China trade friction

There is no negative impact on our business, but rather a positive impact

� In the US, 25% tariffs are imposed on Chinese panels for emergency import restrictions (Safeguard).

US manufacturers, our customers, are performing well in orders/productions

� Traditionally we have no dealings with Chinese manufacturers that use general equipment

� Towards First Solar

� Increase business with emerging US module manufacturers

• Onsite technical support for both existing and newly installed manufacturing lines

• Cost reduction and thorough delivery time management

• Raise production capacity by improving production efficiency and cooperating with subcontractors

■Situation of our main customer, First Solar

・Sales for automated/labor-saving machines are expected to increase by 23 % YoY

・Sales for parts/consumables are assumed conservatively at the early stage of fiscal year

・Expect to book sales of panel inspection services that had been delayed from last fiscal year

・Only confirmed items for panel reuse / recycling are included in the forecast since the number of panels to be discarded

is difficult to project
