On April 1, 2003, Nissho Iwai - Nichimen Holdings Corporation was established as the holding company of Nichimen Corporation and Nissho Iwai Corporation by transferring their respective stock, marking the official start of the new Nissho Iwai - Nichimen Group. The new parent company has been listed on both the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange.
    With the aftermath of the Iraq war going on in the midst of a global economic slowdown, it is as if we were setting sail into rough and stormy seas. Nevertheless, we commit ourselves to build an innovative, functional trading company with a solid financial structure over the next three years, by realizing greater profitability through the pursuit of synergistic business integration, further rationalization and selection & concentration of businesses, by maximizing management efficiency, and by executing equity finances as well.
    Furthermore, to ensure greater transparency of our operation, we are going to invite outside directors to join our board, as well as to establish the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee. We believe that carrying out these initiatives speedily and surely will serve in the best interests of all stakeholders of the Nichimen & Nissho Iwai Group; shareholders, customers & suppliers, and employees.
     We ask for your continuous understanding and support in the future.
