Thank you for your support as our company celebrated its tenth anniversary last year.

Practical use of AI will advance further this year, including in healthcare. As 5G spreads, new network technologies are also expected. We want to begin developing smartphone applications using this communications infrastructure. We will continue collaboration on AI-assisted endoscopic diagnosis and chest image interpretation, while building systems to structure medical record text and radiology findings and efficiently extract and clean test and clinical information for analysis. RACTIS is also scheduled to launch, completing the Group's pharmaceutical and supply systems.

We plan to extend health screening PHRs to users this year, bringing the next generation of hospital information systems into view. We want to shape the future through our AI medical record concept, helping patients receive the best possible care.

Specifically, our plans include:

1. Practical use of AI reception services
2. Continued AI research with other companies
3. Launch of PHRs for comprehensive health screening
4. Initial proposals for next-generation networks
5. Practical implementation and infrastructure for Group communication
6. Stronger maintenance and infrastructure for in-house systems
7. More website projects and stronger maintenance arrangements
8. A smartphone application development environment
9. Electronic medical record implementation, system development and sales, and consulting outside the Group
10. Stronger HR/payroll functions to support work style reform

We plan to pursue these and other initiatives.

The next decade has already begun. Change is rapid, and we want to keep pace and recognise our role at its forefront. All employees will work together towards the future so that our company can help drive healthcare transformation. We appreciate your continued guidance.
