As we will have an irregular nine-month fiscal year from April 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the forecast covers only this nine-month period and year-on-year comparisons are not presented. As the effect of regulation regarding Pachinko and Pachislot machines 1) it has been confirmed that the regulation for the 5.9 will come into effect starting in October 2017, and 2) there will be an announcement in the near future regarding a new standard. In addition, 3) it is predicted that there will be a strengthening of guidelines related to high-stakes machines. However, in spite of the impact that such environmental changes will have on the marketplace, the Company believes it also represents an opportunity for makers to explore different sales opportunities. Although our company has the technology and the production capability in place to support the new standards, it is currently difficult to get a complete read on how the attractiveness of the new machines will measure up in the actual market. For this reason, for our earnings forecast for the year ending December 31, 2017, we have decided to use a range-based full-year earnings format. Assuming that the accounting period for the Company and all consolidated subsidiaries covers the 12 months from April to March, the outlook for the next period (based on available comparisons) is as follows. (Percentages refer to changes from the previous corresponding period) Net Income Attributable Net Income Net Sales Operating Profit Ordinary Profit to Owners of Parent per Share Million Yen % Million Yen % Million Yen % Million Yen % Yen 133,000 - 19.6 - 23,800 - (16.8) - 23,700 - (12.3) - 23,400 - 25.6 - 296.61 - Full Fiscal Year 154,000 38.5 35,900 25.5 35,800 32.4 31,300 68.0 396.75 * Matters of Note (1) Changes in material subsidiaries during the period (Changes in specified subsidiaries accompanying changes in scope of consolidation) : None (2) Application of accounting procedures specific to the preparation of quarterly consolidated financial statements : None (3) Changes in accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and/or restatements 1) Changes in accounting policies accompanying revision of accounting standards, etc. : None 2) Changes in accounting policies other than 1) : None 3) Changes in accounting estimates : None 4) Restatements : None (4) Number of outstanding shares (common stock) 1) Shares issued at end of fiscal period (including treasury shares) As of September 30, 2017: 80,195,000 shares As of March 31, 2017: 80,195,000 shares 2) Number of treasury shares at end of fiscal period As of September 30, 2017: 1,304,233 shares As of March 31, 2017: 1,304,232 shares 3) Average number of shares during fiscal period 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2017: 78,890,768 shares 2nd Quarter of Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2017: 73,383,768 shares * The current financial report is not subject to quarterly review procedures. * Explanation on Proper Usage of Business Results Forecast and Other Noteworthy Items The forward-looking statements regarding business results, etc. as featured herein are based on information that is currently available and certain assumptions that are determined to be reasonable, but are not promises by the Company regarding future performance.

Qualitative Information Pertaining to Quarterly Settlement of Accounts (1) Explanation of Operating Results At the 44th Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 29, 2017, shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that changed the end of the fiscal year from March 31 to December 31. The purposes of this change are to facilitate comparisons of financial data with the performance of companies in other countries and to increase the transparency of Universal Entertainment’s management. The consolidated statement of income for the first six months of the previous consolidated fiscal year includes the period from April 1 to September 30, 2016 for companies with a March 31 fiscal year end and the period from January 1 to June 30, 2016 for companies with a December 31 fiscal year end. However, the consolidated statement of income for the first six months of the current nine-month transitional consolidated fiscal period uses the period from April 1 to September 30, 2017 for all companies included in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, retained earnings in shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 have been adjusted to reflect the profit and loss of companies with a December 31 fiscal year end for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2017.
