| In response to continuous and significant developments in
the logistics field, we have been mobilizing the know-how and experiences of our entire
"K"LINE Group so as to be best positioned to provide a multiplicity of total
logistics services and logistics solutions. |

| "K" LINE’s Logistics Business |
| In the mid-term management plan "K" Line Vision 100 KV2010, "K"
LINE ranked logistics business as one of growing business fields. All of
the group companies will continue to deploy, as a basic principle, the
community-based logistics business services as one body, and at the same
time, promote the formation of a business structure capable of meeting
various customer needs successfully. |

| In January 2010, "K" LINE decided to take an equity stake in
Air Tiger Express Companies Inc. (ATEC) headquartered in the US. Making
the most of ATEC's strong business base in China and Asia, where ATEC excels,
"K" LINE will further reinforce collaboration and cooperative
operations with two core companies in our international logistics business
; "K" Line Logistics (KLL) established in 2006 with its headquarter
in Japan, and Century Distribution System (CDS) operating the buyers consolidation
business with its headquarter in the US. Also, "K" LINE will
reinforce collaboration with other group companies engaged in community-oriented
operations, and further develop logistics business globally. |

| VMS (Visibility Management System) |
| VMS is an internet-based supply chain management system
developed by "K"LINE that provides complete visibility by event (from Container
to SKU level), including ability to manage the entire supply chain with few exceptions.
With VMS, customers are able to monitor shipment, booking, container, purchase order and
product information; details and status updates from logistics partners; reports on
current and historical activities; and notifications about transit delays. VMS can be
utilized through an easy-to-use web interface wherein customers can conduct real-time
inquiries about status of inventory and shipments, getting immediate answers 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. With VMS, "K"LINE aims to position itself even closer to
having the fullest possible understanding of each and every need of our valuable clients. |
