performance, events or conditions. Forward-looking statements, whether spoken or written, are based on judgments made by the management of GNI Japan and/or the Company, based on information that is currently available to it. As such, these
forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and actual business results may vary substantially from the forecasts expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Consequently, investors are cautioned not to place
