QUALITATIVE INFORMATION / FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Business Results
     During the first half of the current fiscal year, the Japanese economy continued to remain weak as a result of a significant decrease in corporate profits and a continued deterioration in employment and income conditions. Overseas, the economies of China and other Asian countries are showing some signs of recovery; however, the global economy continues to be in a sluggish state.
     In the domestic Japanese market, business results across many sectors including department stores and mass merchandisers remained severe as a result of stagnation in the sales of luxury items that have been affected by worsening consumer confidence. Among other things, our overall business results in the women’s fashion and clothing industry did not improve despite the measures that we took to respond to the market such as the launch of lower-priced products that are more affordable to consumers.
     In this environment, our Group (and specifically Wacoal Corp., which is our core operating entity) sought to improve the strength of our products and endeavored to develop products that are responsive to market trends.
     In Wacoal Corp.’s Wacoal brand business, we focused on the launch of mesh fabric products such as our new Cross-Walker underwear for the spring and summer seasons which have attracted much attention in recent years. We have also focused on strengthening our sales of other underwear products. In addition, we launched a summer version of Sugoi, our autumn and winter undergarment with special features such a sweat-absorbent and quick-drying material and “sweat-stain minimizer” around the armpit, back and chest areas. Sugoi products were well received by our consumers along with our outer wear type T-shirts which resulted in an increase in sales of undergarments in spring and summer. However, the overall sales of our Wacoal brand business were below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the poor performance of our core brassiere products and weak sales of our Parfarge products that are mainly sold in department stores.
     In our Wing brand business, although sales of our undergarments were strong, sales of our Style Science series and our spring and summer campaign products remained weak. However, the overall results of our men’s innerwear products, which achieved significant sales growth during the previous fiscal year, exceeded the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the favorable performance of our new Cross-Walker series mesh fabric products that were mainly sold in chain stores under the BROS brand. The overall sales of our Wing brand business were below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the poor performance of our core products for women.
     In our specialty retail store business, effective from the current fiscal year, we have been taking initiatives to organize our various shop brands and consolidate AMPHI as a “master shop brand”. As a result, we expect improved efficiency in brand investment and brand recognition by consumers. Although we achieved an increase in the number of consumers and sales volume by price reductions, overall sales of our specialty retail store business remained unchanged from the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in the amounts spent per customer. Further, sales of our new Kinchaku Bra product, which is the successor to our Nanafun product from Une Nana Cool Corp. (a subsidiary of Wacoal Corp. that engages in the specialty retail store business), were strong. From July, we commenced selling on ZOZO TOWN which is an internet shopping website that handles fashion products and general merchandise, with the aim of establishing new sales channels and expanding our consumer base. However, overall sales from Une Nana Cool Corp. only slightly exceeded the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in the number of shop visitors.
     In our catalog sales business, although we had more consumers compared to the previous fiscal year, the amounts spent per consumer were less and sales fell below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Further, the number of consumers and amounts spent per consumer from our online Wacoal Web Store exceeded the results for the previous year and is currently showing steady performance. As a result, the overall sales from our catalog sales business remained unchanged from the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year.
     In our wellness business, we saw strong performance in the sales of sports-related products including; our new Support Gear products from our CW-X sports conditioning wear brand, and Jyuryu, our highly functional wear for golf and running which we are advertising with a famous young Japanese professional golfer as our model. For footwear and leggings, our Style Cover series products, which is a light body styling wear, and our Success Walk products, which are business shoes for women that focuses on fashionability and functionality, were well received by our customers. As a result, overall sales from our wellness business exceeded the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Table of Contents

     As a result of the aforementioned factors, although sales of our specialty retail store business, catalog sales business and wellness business showed strong performance, the overall sales of Wacoal Corp. were below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the weak performance of the innerwear products of our core Wacoal and Wing brand products. Our operating income was below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year, however, operating margin exceeded our initial expectations as a result of our efforts to improve our sales to profit ratio and cut costs.
     With respect to Peach John Co., Ltd. (“Peach John”), mail-order sales from our spring and summer catalog were below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year and mail-order sales from our autumn catalog which was issued in August is also showing a weak start. On the other hand, sales in existing shops exceeded the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to three new store openings including our first street-front store that opened in Shinjuku in July. However, due to the very poor performance of our catalog sales, overall sales of Peach John were below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Although we made efforts to cut costs by reducing the number of catalog issues and advertisements in public transportation, operating income fell below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in sales.
     As for our overseas operations, in the midst of severe economic conditions in the United States, sales were significantly affected by the poor performance at upscale department stores, which is where our products are mainly sold in the United States. In addition, sales declined significantly as a result of the termination of our manufacturing and distribution license for Donna Karan (DKI, DKNY) products as of December 31, 3008, which accounted for approximately 20% of the overall sales for same period of the previous fiscal year. On the other hand, sales of b. tempt’d by Wacoal, our new brand launched in the current fiscal year, exceeded our initial expectations and was well received by our business partners and customers. The profit to sales ratio improved mainly because the losses related to Donna Karan brand products in the previous fiscal year did not continue into the current fiscal year. However, despite our efforts in cutting general expenses, operating income fell below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to large advertising expenses related to the development of our new brand. The exchange rate in the second quarter of the current fiscal year was 94 yen per dollar (compared to 104 yen per dollar for the same period of the previous fiscal year).
     As for our business in China, although consumer spending has not yet fully recovered, our overall sales exceeded the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to our proactive promotions and product campaigns in the midst of an economy recovery that is being stimulated by the government’s large-scale public investments. However, operating income fell below the results for the same period of the previous fiscal year due to an increase in costs and expenses.
     In addition to our existing businesses discussed above, the financial results of Lecien, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Wacoal Holdings Corp. as a result of a stock exchange, are included in our consolidated financial statements from the current consolidated second quarter (please see the recent announcement we made on May 8, 2009: “Announcement Regarding a Share Exchange to Make Lecien Corporation a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Wacoal Holdings Corp.” for further details). Although Lecien’s fiscal year is from April 1 until March 31 of the following year the financial results of Lecien have been consolidated from August 1, 2009.
     As a result of the above, consolidated business results for the first half of the current fiscal year were as follows: sales were 81,527 million yen, a decrease of 9.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year; operating income was 3,789 million yen, a decrease of 53.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in sales, despite our efforts in reducing costs and expenses; pre-tax net income was 2,980 million yen, a decrease of 54.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year; and net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company was 2,068 million yen, a decrease of 49.6% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. In addition, with Lecien becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Wacoal Holdings Corp., an amount of 13 million yen, being the difference between the consolidated net asset value of Lucien and the purchase price, was recognized as “negative goodwill” under “other profit and (loss)” in our income statement.
2. Qualitative Information regarding Consolidated Financial Condition
(1) Status of Assets, Liabilities and Total Shareholders’ Equity
     Our total assets as of the end of the current consolidated second quarter was 227,363 million yen, an increase of 13,877 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, as a result of an increase in investments due to changes in stock prices and an increase of accounts receivable-trade.
     In terms of liabilities, our current liabilities were 53,929 million yen, an increase of 8,410 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year, as a result of an increase in short-term bank loans under current liabilities, and an increase of deferred tax liabilities under long-term liabilities.

- 5 -


Table of Contents

     Increases of accounts receivable-trade and short-term bank loans were mainly as a result of making Lecien a wholly owned subsidiary of Wacoal Holdings as of August 17, 2009.
     Shareholders’ equity was 171,377 million yen, an increase of 5,504 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year due to foreign currency exchange adjustments and fluctuations in unrealized gain on securities.
     As a result of the above, our total shareholders’ equity ratio as of the end of the current consolidated second quarter was 75.4%, a decrease of 2.3% from the end of the previous fiscal year.
(2) Cash Flows Status
     Cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the second quarter of the current fiscal year were 23,658 million yen, an increase of 719 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.
     (Cash Flows from Operating Activities)
     Cash flows from operating activities were 3,567 million yen due to increases in depreciation and amortization and in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
     (Cash Flows from Investing Activities)
     Cash flows from investing activities were 25 million yen due to proceeds from the sale and redemption of marketable securities, which was partially offset by payments for the acquisition of marketable securities and tangible fixed assets.
     (Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities)
     Cash flows used in financing activities was 3,221 million yen due to a cash dividend payment.
3. Qualitative Information regarding Forecast of Consolidated Business Results
     We expect that we will continue to face a difficult business environment in the domestic and overseas markets as we see no signs of significant improvement in consumer spending in the latter half of the current fiscal year in the midst of the global economic downturn. Our Group will make efforts to recover sales by developing attractive products that accurately meets the demands of consumers in value and pricing.
     As for our domestic business, given that our competitors have in recent years been introducing new undergarment products, which have been attracting a great attention from consumers, we will proactively develop products in our Sugoi line and also SugoT, which can be worn as outerwear. Further, we will make efforts to achieve steady growth with a substantial product line in our men’s innerwear business which has showed strong performance, and by maintaining the level of sales floor space, which has expanded rapidly.
     As for our overseas business, although we terminated our manufacturing and distribution license in the U.S. business, we also launched a new brand. We do not expect to achieve immediate expansion under current economic conditions; however we plan to build up such new brand as our new core brand in the future. In China, we proactively conducted a marketing campaign with a famous Japanese singer, as the “face” of Wacoal; however, from August 2009 we have been developing a new campaign with a famous Chinese actress. In addition, we will actively make efforts to expand business by enhancing our three-brand system of Wacoal, Amphi and Salute and by opening shops in new regions.
     As for Lecien, we are currently working to improve management efficiency by organizing and/or consolidating its existing businesses which we believe will contribute to our Group business results.
4. Other
(1)   Changes in significant subsidiaries in the second quarter of the current fiscal year
(change in scope of consolidation):
     Lecien became a wholly owned subsidiary (a “specified” subsidiary as defined under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law) of Wacoal Holdings Corp. through a share exchange pursuant to the resolution of a meeting of the board of directors held on May 8, 2009.
(2)   Application of simplified accounting methods and specific accounting methods in preparing quarterly consolidated financial statements:

- 6 -


Table of Contents

    Not applicable.
 
(3)   Changes in accounting principles, procedures and indication method relevant in preparing quarterly consolidated financial statements:
     In June 2009, the U.S. FASB issued FASB ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (formerly the U.S. FASB Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). FASB ASC 105 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” and will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted principles recognized by the FASB in addition to the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission. FASB ASC 105 as been adopted in the current quarter however, the adoption of FASB ASC 105 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, business results or cash flow status.
     In December 2007, the U.S. FASB issued FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation” (formerly the U.S. FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51”). FASB ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and valuation of noncontrolling equity interests when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. FASB ASC 810 also prescribes that entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. FASB ASC 810 has been adopted in the current fiscal year. Accordingly, minority interests classified in the section between liabilities and equity is presented under the equity section as noncontrolling interests. Also, due to the adoption of FASB ASC 810, the items under the consolidated income statement have been changed. The disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 810 will be applied retrospectively and the consolidated financial statements including the consolidated cash flow statements for the prior year has been changed and presented as applicable.
     In December 2007, the U.S. FASB issued FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (formerly the U.S. FASB Statement No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations”). This FASB ASC 805 prescribes the standards and requirements for the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity and the goodwill acquired in the transaction which can be recognized in the financial statements of such acquiring entity. FASB ASC 805 also prescribes that entities provide disclosures sufficient to evaluate the business combination and the impact on the financial statements. FASB ASC 805 has been applied in our financial statements for the current consolidated fiscal year. The adoption of FASB ASC 805 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position, business results or cash flow status.
