Message to Shareholders and Investors

On behalf of SBS Group, I would like to express our appreciation for

the exceptional encouragement we have received during the past year.

It is with pleasure that I present this report for SBS Holdings, Inc. for

the 23rd Business Period (from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008).

During the fiscal year under review Japan’s economy entered a

recessionary phase. Prices for crude oil and other raw materials and

the cost of certain grains jumped sharply, and the subprime loan

problem in the United States, which had been a source of growing

concern, triggered a global financial crisis that spread to the real

economy. A rapid cooling of the markets in Japan was evident in the

latter half of the fiscal year.

In our logistics business as well, difficult circumstances continued.

In addition to the steep rise in the price of fuel, which accounts for a

large percentage of our costs, the slump in demand expanded. This

included a decline in the movement of goods, which resulted from

lower personal consumption and the deterioration of corporations’

operating results.

Faced with this operating environment, SBS Group sought to further

expand orders through service upgrades and aggressive marketing

development. We simultaneously pursued measures that included

quality and efficiency improvements based on operational improvement

activities, withdrawal from unprofitable operations, review of our branch

offices, and the restructuring of certain group companies. Nevertheless,

factors such as high fuel prices that exceeded our assumptions and

the cancelation of a logistics facility liquidation project because of

the financial contraction compelled us to review our initial plans.

As a result of the above factors, consolidated net sales and earnings

for the current fiscal year fell below the level in the prior fiscal year (for

details please see the Review of Operations on page 10).

By any measure, it was a challenging year for SBS Group. In the year

ahead, we look forward to continuing to receive your unwavering support.

Masahiko KamataPresident, SBS Holdings, Inc.

Interview with the President

Regrettably, net sales and earnings for the current

fiscal year did decline. Factors such as a large-scale

real estate asset liquidation project in our financial

business in the prior fiscal year, and the sale of a consolidated

subsidiary, resulted in a net sales decline of more than ¥10 billion.

Ultimately we were able to minimize this decline to ¥7.6 billion

because of positive factors resulting from our business efforts.

Substantively, net sales for the current fiscal year were higher.

On the other hand, although we had planned for a 40% decrease

in operating income and ordinary income as a result of the same

factors that affected net sales, earnings were further depressed

because of the sharp rise in fuel costs and the cancellation of

a real estate asset liquidation project because of the global

financial contraction, and earnings experienced a much broader

decline. We also reported a loss on valuation of investment

securities, an impairment loss in conjunction with a review of

our businesses, as well as extraordinary losses as a result of

pursuing streamlining efforts, including withdrawal from unprofitable

operations and the unification and reorganization of branches, all

of which resulted in substantially lower net income. These were

one-time losses, however, and our actions also included positive

measures that will produce higher earnings in future periods.

We can further explain recent operating performance by

looking at our businesses centered on logistics and our financial

business. Operating results in the financial business are susceptible

to facility development trends and market conditions. The changes

in operating results are shown as a graph in Figure 1. The

orange line branching off in a downward direction shows

operating income excluding the financial business. As you can

see from this graph, even though earnings vary considerably,

our businesses centered on logistics are expanding steadily.

The operating results of SBS Group for the current fiscal year deterioratedcompared with the prior year. What were the reasons?

In our financial business, the deterioration in the

financial situation has mainly affected the

property asset management business and the

property development business, particularly for logistics

facilities. Until recently we completed logistics facilities

liquidations at a pace of one or two facilities each year.

During the current fiscal year, however, this business was

buffeted by the severe financial contraction, and one of the

two scheduled projects was canceled. Because customers

use these facilities under long-term contracts, however, our

logistics facilities recover their investment capital steadily in

the form of rents. Worries such as a loss of asset value are

not a problem. Our objective in structuring liquidations is a

lump-sum recovery of the capital investment in logistics

facilities and other structures provided to customers who

have consigned their third-party logistics business to us, by

means of the liquidation technique, in order to invest the

funds in subsequent investments. Because we will continue

to concentrate on strengthening and further expanding our

third-party logistics business, we will develop logistics

facilities as necessary, and determine whether to apply the

liquidation technique after considering financial conditions

at the time. Our policy is to continue utilizing liquidations of

properties we have developed, in order to remain financially

sound. With regard to the next fiscal year, however, we

have not incorporated this activity into our plans because

future financial conditions are difficult to project.

Please discuss the influence of the deterioration in thefinancial situation on SBS Group’s financial business.

A

Q

Interview with the President

Although net sales in our logistics business were

off 1.6% year on year, the main reason was the sale

in the prior fiscal year of Duck Co., Ltd., our moving

services subsidiary, which reduced net sales by about ¥3.7

billion. So net sales were up substantively by about ¥1.8 billion,

or 1.6% year on year. In addition, operating income was ¥2,566

million, up 12.2% or approximately ¥300 million year on year.

I believe this reflects the contribution to net sales and

earnings from the full year operation of our newly developed

logistics center, the effects of performance management based

on a review of our earnings management techniques, cost

reductions achieved through consolidation and reorganization

of our branches and the results of operational improvement

activities we initiated three years ago. Although costs jumped

by about ¥450 million during the current fiscal year because

the price of fuel remained at very high (see page 3 Figure 2),

we were able to absorb this and ensure higher earnings. We

evaluate this as just one example of how we have steadily

improved our site capabilities.

As an investment for the next fiscal year, in October of last

year we installed digital tachographs and drive recorders

(see Figure 3) in about 1,000 vehicles, which correspond to

one-third of all trucks and vehicles owned by SBS Group.

Once these devices go into full operation in the next fiscal

year, we can anticipate direct results such as lower fuel costs

and prevention of accidents. We’ll use the information we gain

to build an integrated vehicle dispatching system and improve

delivery efficiency.

What is the reason the logistics business is stable when operating resultsfor SBS Group overall are under pressure?

A

Q

What is a digital tachographand drive recorder?

A digital vehicle operations recorder. Records data

on various operating conditions such as vehicle

speed, engine rotational speed, acceleration and

gear status while running, which can be used to provide

drivers with safe driving instructions. By also applying

the data for energy-efficient driving, an average fuel

cost improvement of 15%* has been achieved.

Digital tachograph

A device that records image and running data before

and after an accident or when a driver’s rapid

acceleration or sudden deceleration could have

caused an accident. Referred to as a flight recorder

when used in aircraft. The advantages of such

recorders include faster accident processing,

fewer accidents, reduced fuel expenses and the

application of data for development of next-generation

safety devices.

The recession caused by the global financial crisis

shows every sign of being prolonged, and we

believe the unpredictable nature of the economic

environment during the fiscal period ending December

2009 will continue. Business conditions are expected to

become even more severe than in the current fiscal year

because of a further drop in demand, requests from

shippers for lower prices and greater competition among

logistics corporations to survive.

Given such circumstances, we intend to challenge these

obstacles and achieve our business plan in fiscal 2009

through five measures (see Figure 4). We will focus most of

our efforts on “strong business development.” In difficult

times, we believe the number of firms undertaking a

fundamental review of management will increase, as

companies seriously strive to resolve management issues

including logistics reform. To capture such demand

accurately, SBS Group has positioned “strong business

development” as its most important policy and will strive

vigorously to develop new customers. Specifically, we will

Q

complete our Noda Logistics Center as a new base in the

spring of 2009, expand our third-party logistics business

for the furniture and household goods retail trades, develop

new customers by establishing a new business specialty

division and using outbound call centers and the Internet,

and develop proprietary training courses and strengthen

our third-party logistics consultant business.

Based on these considerations, for the fiscal year ending

in December 2009 SBS Group is projecting net sales to

decrease 6.7% year on year to ¥130 billion, operating

income to decrease 6.8% year on year to ¥3.1 billion,

ordinary income to decline 7.4% to ¥3.7 billion and net

income to increase 129.2% to ¥2.2 billion.

To improve shareholder value, our policy concerning

dividends is to continue paying stable dividends that are

unaffected by short-term fluctuations in earnings. For the

next fiscal year, we are planning to pay dividends of ¥2,300

per share.

Vigorous activities for operational

Changing the way employees think is the essenceof our operational improvement activities, anddevelopment of our human resources is theultimate objective.Through continuous improvement activities, SBSgroup strives to foster the human resources whowill lead the drive for next-generation logistics.

Joined SBS in November 2006. Assumed current position afterserving as a director of Logione Co., Ltd., the logistics subsidiaryof Daiei, Inc. General Manager, TL LOGICOM Co., Ltd.Improvement Headquarters. Assumed the position of Chairman ofthe Logistics Site Improvement and Revitalization Committee atthe Japan Institute of Logistics Systems (JILS) in August 2008.

Profile

Before joining SBS Holdings in November 2006, I served as

a director of LOGIONE Co., Ltd. and as a member of the

Logistics Site Improvement and Revitalization Committee

at the Japan Institute of Logistics Systems. While serving in

the latter capacity, President Kamata expressed his desire

to use “Improvement” as a core theme to reinvigorate SBS

Group and strengthen its logistics center capabilities, and

asked whether I would cooperate with that effort.

Because I was coordinating the logistics strategy for

Daiei, Inc., the offer stirred my interest, but there was one

condition for me to join the Company. That was that SBS

establishes a full-time internal improvement management

organization. Undertaking improvement activities can create

resistance from people who rely on traditional ideas and

techniques. Individuals responsible for improvement cannot

create a path forward if he or she holds concurrently other

posts, because improvement requires rejecting current

conditions and attempting a new approach. Based on

these discussions, SBS Holdings created the Improvement

Supervisory Department.

The essence of “Improvement” is a change in our way of

thinking. By accumulating personal transformations, we

change the optimal way we perform our work. Such change,

however, must not be transitory. We must maintain our

motivation, retain our intention to improve and continue

challenging ourselves, even when we no longer receive

guidance from the Improvement Supervisory Department

Moreover, the ultimate objective of “Improvement” is

development of our human resources. In 2007 our main effort

was directed at having employees internalize and accept

this basic awareness, and since 2008, we have been making

a full-scale push to foster human resources who are capable

of transforming their work through programs such as

improvement training.

2006 was the First Year of “Operational Improvement” at SBS Group

improvement

Once every six months, SBS Group holds an “SBS Group

Improvement Case Study Meeting” to announce workplace

improvement activities. The fourth meeting was held in

January of this year at Tokyo Big Sight. Ten teams won to

participate in the team selection competition, and the team

from Tohoku Wing Co., Ltd.’s Iwanuma No. 2 Logistics

Center, which worked to improve operating income through

optimal staff assignments, was chosen to receive the

President’s Prize, the First Place award. Individuals from

the mass media also are invited to the meetings, and have

reported the evaluations of the meetings, which indicate

the ideas presented have become increasingly constructive

over time.

One issue, however, is significant. What is important is

whether participants are able to return to their workplaces

and clearly and fervently convey what they learned at the

meetings to other employees in their offices. Because it

aims at increasing operating performance in the workplace,

improvement is meaningless unless every employee,

including part-time and temporary workers, absorbs and

works with an improvement mentality.

Fourth “Improvement Case Study Meeting” held

With economies around the world now slipping into

recession, corporations’ operating results are deteriorating.

While customers who order services from logistics firms are

calling for cost reductions and higher quality service, simply

accepting such requests will not halt the downward trend in

operating income. This means achieving thorough low-cost

operations in each workplace, and upgrading services, are

both necessary to improve earnings.

SBS Group has not adopted a passive stance of waiting for

guidance. We will aggressively propose high-value-added

services while lowering workplace costs by pursuing

improvement activities. I believe this approach will enable

us to develop new business opportunities. As the manager

responsible for SBS Group’s improvement activities, I will

continue focusing on creating an innovative corporate culture

and fostering excellent human resources.

Review of Operations

During the fiscal year ended December 2008, Japan’s

economy cooled rapidly in the wake of the global financial

crisis, and business conditions entered a slowdown phase.

As a result, SBS Group strove to upgrade its services and

expand orders, while simultaneously pursuing operational

improvement activities and various measures to review

unprofitable operations. Nevertheless, because of factors

such as high fuel prices that exceeded our assumptions, and

the cancelation of a logistics facility liquidation project

because of the financial contraction, we were compelled to

revise our initial plan.

As a result, for the consolidated fiscal year under review net

sales fell 5.2% year on year to ¥139,405 million, operating

income declined 51.0% year on year to ¥3,325 million and

ordinary income decreased 49.4% year on year to ¥3,995

million. SBS Group also posted extraordinary losses of

¥3,027 million, including a compulsory devaluation of stock

holdings and asset impairment write-downs of business

assets at certain group companies. As a result, net income

was ¥960 million, down 76.3% year on year.

In the logistics business, we focused on new customer

development and measures to strengthen areas where we

possess special advantages, and worked to lower costs by

increasing operating efficiency with improvement activities

and through branch consolidation and reorganization. As a

result, although sales edged down 1.6% year on year to

¥114,894 million, they were substantively ¥1,800 million higher

when the ¥3,700 million decline as a result of the sale of Duck

Co., Ltd. in the prior fiscal year is considered. We achieved

operating income of ¥2,566 million, up 12.2% year on year as

the result of service optimization and cost reductions.

In our marketing business, sales dipped 5.9% year on year

to ¥10,391 million and operating income fell 76.1% year on

year to ¥40 million. Performance was sluggish because of

increasing competition among major firms in the mailing

service business, which accounts for the majority of sales and

earnings in this business area.

In personnel placement, we successfully increased the

number of business offices and created an organization with

29 bases, in order to implement more detailed employment

and support services. We expanded net sales by 20.3% year

on year to ¥7,402 million, and increased operating income

23.0% year on year to ¥483 million.

Sales in our financial business were ¥7,437 million, down

51.0% year on year, while operating income was off 82.7%

year on year to ¥792 million. This reflected the cancellation of

a completed logistics facility liquidation project after the

contract had been signed.

In the information technology business, we continued with

restructuring efforts to restore this business to profitability.

More work remains to be done, however, to return this business

to a profitable structure. In the environmental service business,

resource prices fell significantly. As a result, in these businesses

sales rose 15.8% year on year to ¥1,143 million, and the operating

loss was reduced by ¥23 million year on year to ¥260 million.

The future management environment is expected to remain

severe. Challenges include a decrease in logistics demand,

requests to lower prices and intensifying competition among

firms. To solve the management issues confronting Japanese

firms, including logistics reform, SBS Group will strive by all of its

efforts to develop new customers by positioning “strong business

development” as its most important management policy.

For the consolidated fiscal year ending December 2009, we

project net sales of ¥130,000 million, operating income of

¥3,100 million, ordinary income of ¥3,700 million and net

income of ¥2,200 million.
