about Heiwa Group Message from the President
Toward a comprehensive leisure companyHeiwa Group
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, we achieved record-high business performance on a consolidated basis since the listing as both the pachinko and pachislot machine business and the golf business achieved higher sales and profit. The record-breaking overall business performance was led by higher pachinko machine sales volume in the pachinko and pachislot machine business. Furthermore, the improved profit margin of the golf business contributed to a significant year-on-year increase of profit. Operating income increased by 16.2% year on year, ordinary income increased by 18.8%, and net income increased by 28.9% on a consolidated basis.
In the pachinko and pachislot industry, pachinko parlors continued to operate in a challenging environment as sales competition among pachinko

Consolidated Financial Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015
Heiwa Corporation, an experienced manufacturer of pachinko and pachislot machines founded in 1949
and established in 1960, has always been a pioneer within the industry; in 1988 it became the first firm
in the industry to go public as an over-the-counter company, and in 1997 its shares were moved
to the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Subsequently, in 2007 the Company completed a business integration with Olympia Co., Ltd.,
a pachislot machine manufacturer, and in 2011 made PGM Holdings K.K., a major golf course operation
company, into a consolidated subsidiary. Heiwa has continued to evolve in order to adapt
to the changing industry environment.
Going forward, the Company will leverage its stable management base and continue to provide
customers with good times while aiming to become a comprehensive leisure company
under the motto “Let’s create more enjoyable future.”

Message from the President
Regarding costs, although R&D expenditure increased for the purpose of enhancing product attractiveness, a reduction in the cost of pachislot machine sales contributed to increased profit.
In the golf business, golf courses newly acquired based on the M&A strategy contributed to results. Initiatives for profit maximization started to take effect as well, and as a result, the golf business achieved an increase in sales and significant growth in profit.
With regard to M&A, we acquired Sohkyu Country Club and concluded basic sponsorship agreements for Chiba International Country Club and two other golf courses to support their turnaround. At the same time, we reviewed our portfolio, including sale of golf courses and termination of contracts for management.
As for initiatives for profit maximization, we reinforced the department responsible for the pricing strategy and strove to thoroughly control expenses while offering appropriate prices. This led to a significant increase in profit.
On May 13, 2015, Heiwa and PGM Holdings K.K. concluded a share exchange agreement (simple share exchange) whereby PGM Holdings is to become a wholly owned subsidiary. The share exchange is scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2015, subject to approval by the general meeting of
shareholders of PGM Holdings. The objective is to enhance the corporate value of
the Group as a whole through further strengthening the earnings power and enhancing the corporate value of PGM Holdings. The golf industry is experiencing intensified competition due to decline in golfer population by aging and excessive supply of golf courses. Therefore, we believe it is essential to further promote M&A to boost profitability of PGM Holdings and enhance the corporate value of Heiwa Group.
We aim to establish a stable, highly profitable structure based on greater collaboration between the pachinko and pachislot machine business and the golf business so as to enhance corporate value.
In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, we emphasize differentiation and innovation in product development to create a stream of hit products. To this end, we need to pursue accuracy of trend forecasts and rapidly respond to market change. The plan calls for sales of 260,000 pachinko machines and 100,000 pachislot machines.
In the golf business, while strengthening M&A, we will encourage purchase of golf club memberships by offering an enhanced member privilege program. Furthermore, we will enhance the value of our golf courses and implement a well-designed pricing strategy to improve business performance.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, we forecast net sales of 215.1 billion yen, operating income of 38.0 billion yen, ordinary income of 36.8
billion yen, and profit attributable to owners of the parent of 22.4 billion yen.
With regard to distribution of dividends, we paid a year-end dividend of 40 yen per share. Together with an interim dividend, the annual dividend amounted to 80 yen per share, an increase of 10 yen compared with the previous fiscal year. As part of efforts to enhance the return to shareholders, we decided to introduce a shareholder benefit program. We will offer golf coupons to shareholders who own at least one tradable unit of shares, starting with shareholders on the register as of September 30, 2015. We will continue to pay stable dividends by maintaining the present dividend policy even after the introduction of the shareholder benefit program.
We request your long-term support for our businesses.
and pachislot machine manufacturers intensified. Moreover, following the change in the format inspection method for pachislot machines by the Security Communications Association (Hotsukyo) in September 2014, it is taking time for manufacturers to respond to the new method, resulting in a decrease in the pachislot sales volume in the market as a whole.
In the golf industry, despite the adverse impact of unsettled weather, demand for playing golf was robust.
In the pachinko and pachislot machine business, although pachislot machine sales were sluggish, a significant increase in pachinko machine sales led to great increases in both sales and profit.
We released ten pachinko machine titles during the year, including Super Street Fighter IV CR EDITION, Lupin The Third: Shuyaku wa Zenigata, and Moerutoukon Antonio Inoki: Kakutougi Sekaiichi Ketteisen. In addition, we continued sales of Lupin the Third: Kesareta Lupin, which was released in the previous fiscal year. As a result, the number of pachinko machines sold increased by 54,000 machines compared with the previous fiscal year to 252,000 machines.
We also released six pachislot machine titles, including Sengoku Otome: Kengeki ni Mau Shiroki Kensei: Saigoku Sansen version, COWBOY BEBOP, and Koumonchama KATSU. The number of pachislot machines sold decreased by 28,000 machines compared with the previous fiscal year to 92,000 machines.

This is the fifth title in the series since the debut of the first pachinko title in January 2005. Through the pursuit of the ultimate you-are-there experience, the world of professional wrestler Antonio Inoki is conjured up with gripping bouts inside and outside the ring. In a first for the series, this title uses live-action images filmed specifically for it, realizing a pachinko machine that allows players to “meet” Antonio Inoki. The machine offers a dynamic, captivating experience not only for hard-core fans of Antonio Inoki but also for everyone who relishes the thrills of professional wrestling.
With its successive iterations of a historical fantasy motif, the Koumonchama series has won a place in the hearts of legions of fans and retained their loyalty over many years. Using an incredibly high-impact frame, this title stirs players up, demands a whole new approach to gaming, and questions common sense. It also comes with “Inro Chance,” a first-of-its-kind feature that allows the player to select any of six separate modes to enter different zones that changes the expectation level of the game. Players are also entertained by diverse audiovisual presentations, a dynamic “Inro Shutter,” and a multitude of other fascinating features.

The first Mahjong Monogatari series, our original content which was released as a pachinko machine in 1991, was the first machine in the industry equipped with a full color LCD display, and exerted a massive influence over the pachinko and pachislot industry in the years to come. Although the series has a mahjong theme, you can fully enjoy the content without knowing how to play mahjong. Ever since the Mahjong Monogatari 2 pachislot machine debuted in 2005, inspired by the “moe (cute) & moe (hot)” concept we have capitalized on the attributes that make the characters so captivating and their red-hot battles.
As for aspirations concerning our original content produced, I would like to nurture this series to the point that it can stand shoulder to shoulder with Sengoku Otome, another series noted for its captivating characters.
We have increased the cast of characters for this title without compromising the quality of animation. In addition, we sought painstakingly to fully realize what we had in mind for the exclusive frame with its character figurines
and “touch-sensitive dice and vibration” functions. We clearly didn’t compromise on the gaming performance, either. We have implemented look-ahead functionality, providing a sequence of clues to widen the options for advance notices and presentations, raising players’ expectations and the thrill level.
Our “Da-WIN” service which links the pachinko and pachislot machine with the player’s cellphone/smartphone, takes player satisfaction to new heights. Through the service, players can enjoy from a wide selection of characters, and customize the navigation voice and songs during the jackpot.
Clearly, a pachinko or pachislot machine succeeds only to the extent that it offers players enjoyment. Even so, I think that building machines that we—the people who design them—actually want to play can help us achieve that. The development project is a team effort. I am moved by the dedication of the members of our development team. We all share the powerful feeling that “We are creating excellent products.” My ambition is to develop pachislot machines that I can confidently call masterpieces of Heiwa Group.
Original content based on the “moe (cute) & moe (hot)” content
Ultimate pursuit of gaming performance and fine-tuned quality to communicate the attractiveness of Mahjong Monogatari
Creating pachinko and pachislot machines that we want to play
With its familiar, comical characters from a popular historical fantasy drama, Koumonchama is one of the best-known series from Heiwa group, supported by a huge fan base comprising men and women of all ages. This title revisits the origins of the first title in the series, which debuted in 1994, and sticks to an easy-to-understand heroes-and-villains narrative as well as the Koumonchama series’ celebrated high payouts. We developed this title to appeal to veteran fans of the series as well as other players from older age groups.
This machine is an extravaganza of gimmicks. These must-see attractions include the familiar inro (a small case for carrying personal items) and the shuriken weapon with the pinwheel motif, and a “treasure ship” figurine whose unfurled banner completely covers the screen. The most attractive aspect, though, is the prize allocation system via the “Gochi Device”—a first of its kind in this industry.
The “Gochi Device” offers a value-for-money feeling during jackpots and exhilaration of the shooting experience. Our team tried and tested this device countless times before release.
I joined the project midstream as director of the
The Koumonchama series has won a place in the hearts of legions of fans and retained their loyalty for over 20 years. This new title released in December 2014 features the “Gochi Device,” an innovative gimmick.
The Mahjong Monogatari series and its characters, inspired by the mahjong motif, have won the allegiance of numerous fans. The latest title of this series, released in March 2015, doubles the pleasure thanks to enhanced characters and expanded gaming performance.
development. It wasn’t easy to give a coherent shape to the proposed concept. However, inspired by a sense of mission and responsibility, I did everything I could to encourage fruitful communication within the team. The result was a palpable sense of solidarity and high levels of motivation fueling the team’s progress toward our goal.
The development took a few months longer than usual and we had to overcome several obstacles to accomplish the project. Nevertheless, I feel that the team’s powerful determination rooted in the aspirations of every member of the team enabled us to climb a very high mountain and produce a hit product.
When I interviewed pachinko parlors, I was told, “Machines that contribute to above average utilization rates are not the only machines that players want.” This reminded me of simply built pachinko machines in the past. At that time, players could casually enjoy playing pachinko in a short period of time such as on the way home from work. But nowadays, players need longer time to fully enjoy the pachinko game. I started to realize at that point that I am in danger of losing sight of readily accessible pachinko entertainment.
From now on I would like to pursue development of pachinko machines that have mass appeal. With that in mind, I will regularly canvass players to find out what they really desire.

Explanations of Key Factors Contributing to Changes
Although noncurrent assets decreased by 4,609 million yen due mainly to decrease in investment securities, current assets increased by 13,937 million yen due to increase in cash and deposits, and available-for-sale securities. Total assets increased by 9,327 million yen as a result.
Increase in assets
While liabilities decreased by 12,439 million yen due to repayment of debt, net assets increased by 21,767 million yen. As a result, shareholders’ equity ratio increased by 3.8 percentage points to 36.4%. Ratio of interest-bearing debt improved by 22 percentage points to 96%, dropping below the 100% mark.

Share Exchange Agreement with PGM Holdings K.K. Concluded
Shareholder Benefit Program Introduced
On May 13, 2015, Heiwa and PGM Holdings K.K. concluded a share exchange agreement
whereby Heiwa became a wholly owning parent and PGM Holdings became a wholly owned
subsidiary. The two companies intend to pursue ever-closer collaboration, and with that in
mind, making PGM Holdings a wholly owned subsidiary will eliminate possible conflicts of
interest resulting from the listing of both a parent and a subsidiary, and moreover enable swift
decision-making in implementing a medium- to long-term growth strategy for PGM Holdings.
The objective is to enhance the corporate value of the Group as a whole through further
strengthening the earnings power and enhancing the corporate value of PGM Holdings.
We have introduced a shareholder benefit program for the purpose of enhancing the
attractiveness of Heiwa shares as well as facilitating shareholders’ understanding of the
Group’s businesses so that more shareholders will hold Heiwa shares over the medium to
long term. The shareholder benefit program will commence with shareholders on the register
as of September 30, 2015 who own at least one tradable unit of shares (100 shares).
Share exchange allotment ratio
0.54 shares of Heiwa will be allotted per one PGM Holdings share. Heiwa shares to be allotted
will be treasury stock.
Share exchange method and schedule
Share exchange will be effective on August 1, 2015 subject to approval by the general meeting of
shareholders of PGM Holdings held on June 23, 2015. Heiwa intends to follow the procedures of
simple share exchange that does not require approval at the general meeting of shareholders of Heiwa.
