Committed to providing safe and high- quality transportation services as a distribution partner trusted by customers

Before presenting the business report for the 96th term (April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013), I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their support throughout the year. Although a mild recovery is anticipated in the Japanese economy including improved corporate performance backed by the government’s economic measures and monetary policies, the risk of a worldwide economic downturn lingers, and the situation is expected to remain unpredictable. As for the distribution industry in which the JOT Group operates, the pace of recovery in domestic cargo transportation volume has been sluggish, and harsh conditions are expected to continue in the future. In response to this difficult business environment, in which overall demand for oil products continues to decline, the JOT Group is making maximal use of its strengths as a business group offering both rail and trucking transportation services in order to respond swiftly and accurately to customer needs. In addition, with a view to future growth, we are further strengthening our LNG transportation and chemical transportation including overseas business development, while proactively seeking to create new businesses and to develop new types of transportation containers. In addition to these efforts, we are working to promote even safer and more reliable transportation by continuing to strengthen our safety promotion activities and further enhancing our vehicle and container inspection and servicing system. The year-end dividend for the year under review has been set at the same level as the previous term at ¥4 per share. Combined with the interim dividend of ¥3 per share, this amounts to an annual dividend of ¥7 per share. I continue to count on your unwavering support and cooperation.

As a result, net sales in the oil transportation business declined 13.8% year on year to ¥16,127 million.

High-Pressure Gas Transportation Business In the high-pressure gas transportation business, despite an increase in transportation of city gas raw materials due to greater demand for heating and cooling requirements, in addition to an acquisition of new transportation business through the Group’s united sales activities, LNG (liquid natural gas) transportation volume declined due to the shift to pipelines in some transportation zones and lower industrial demand as a result of the economic slump. As a result, net sales for high-pressure gas transportation business decreased 6.4% year on year to ¥7,410 million.

Chemical and Container Transportation Business Although the chemical transportation business saw a drop in demand for chemical products due to a stagnant economy, the efforts of proactive sales activities aimed at capturing new customers resulted in growth in leasing of transportation containers. The container transportation business saw an increase in such items as the already strong shipments of vegetables, and machine industrial products on the back of recovery in production activities. However, demand for transportation lowered due to a significant impact of frequent disruption to freight train operations caused by typhoons, heavy snowfalls, and other natural disturbances, as well as the derailment accident in the Hokkaido area. As a result, net sales in the chemical and container transportation business showed a year-on-year increase of 1.5% to ¥6,932 million.

With the aim of achieving a society where people can live in security, the JOT Group has entered the solar power generation business.

Renewable energy has been promoted and encouraged in recent

years as an effective means of reducing the volume of CO2 emissions in order to cope with the problem of global warming. Solar panels Furthermore, there has been growing interest in power generation Power generation using renewable energy as a result of the problems of shortage in electric power supply that arose in the aftermath of the nuclear power Direct current plant accident following the earthquake disaster. In particular, solar Power conditioner power generation has been on the increase due to the ease they offer Alternate current in terms of installation location and maintenance.
