Operational & Strategic Review

The DBM-J group consists of Drake Beam Morin-Japan ("DBM-J") and 5 wholly-owned subsidiaries. Until first half results for fiscal year 2002, the Training Business was included in the "Other Businesses" section. However, due to the large amount of assets that now fall under the Training Business following the formation of Novations Group Inc. and its three subsidiaries, a new "Training Business" division was formed at the end of the previous fiscal year. For the nine month results announced in this release, there are three business divisions: Outplacement, Training, and Others.

DBM-J's Core Management Policies

A. Basic Management Policy

DBM-J views itself as an integrated HR (Human Resources The fancy word for "people."

B. Profit Distribution Policy

Returning value to shareholders is one of the most important priorities for the Company. Using return on equity (ROE A fictitious surname used for an unknown or anonymous person or for a hypothetical person in an illustration.

There are various programs that very accurately test the raw power of a single machine, the interaction in a single client/server system (one server/multiple clients) and the transactions per second in a transaction processing system. , DBM-J strives to improve its financial performance and distribute profit through dividend payments. With this basic policy in mind, dividends are determined in accordance with future financial strength, with earnings retention to be used for business expansion.

C. Policy on the Reduction in Minimum Investment Unit

DBM-J believes that reducing the minimum investment unit of its shares will improve liquidity and increase the number of shareholders. The Company will make efforts to reduce the minimum investment unit.

D. Medium-term Business Strategy

DBM-J is committed to maintaining its dominant leadership position in the growing outplacement market by providing a variety of HR solutions as an integrated HR consulting company. To achieve this goal, the company plans to enhance its outplacement infrastructure - information technology, in particular - and quickly ramp up Ramp Up

In addition, Novations, the wholly-owned subsidiary established last year, offers training and consulting services for corporate and individual performance enhancement. DBM-J intends to turn training and consulting services into a core business, reinforcing its position in the industry.

DBM-J is also in the process of introducing Enhanced Career Transition Service ("ECTS ECTS European Credit Transfer System
ECTS European Community Course Credit Transfer System
ECTS European Computer Trade Show
ECTS Erie County Technical School (Pennsylvania)
ECTS Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
"), which draws upon cutting-edge technology to link the group's global IT platform for enhanced client support. Adopting ECTS will enable DBM-J to offer a high-quality, global product capable of rapidly responding to clients' international needs.

Lastly, DBM-J continues to explore possibilities for M&A activity in order to strengthen its position as a "comprehensive human resources consultancy."

Operational Issues

For outplacement services, DBM-J has made the Career Counselor Master Program a requisite for all of its consultants and is constantly promoting a high level of employee training, allowing for an open, professional, and high-quality consultation service for its clients.

For training operations, DBM-J differentiates itself as a business that provides training service and consulting services for corporate and individual performance enhancement. We are planning an early introduction of advanced US training and consulting services into Japan. With these services, we believe we can strengthen our domestic Japanese operations even further. Outside of Japan, the Company is enhancing Novations' by developing a new training service aimed at middle management that will be marketed throughout the US.
