Japan Apparel Operations VIEWCOMPANY CO.,LTD. http://www.viewcompany.net/ Nationwide retailer specializing in women’s footwear The [vju:] store appeals to women from teens to those in their 30s and 40s with affordable prices; the COO ICI store targets women in their early 20s with an extensive selection. History Founded in 1961, VIEWCOMPANY listed on JASDAQ (stock code: 3033) in April 2006, and in October of the same year formed an operating and capital alliance with the FAST RETAILING Group to strengthen its store operations and enhance its development of private-label products. The mainstay brand [vju:] stores chiefly stock an assortment of shoes targeting women in their teens through to their 30s and 40s. VIEWCOMPANY’s nationwide network of 103 stores includes COO ICI stores, which are premised on the concept of creating a special place suited to whatever scenes women envision, and SHOES WORLD stores, which carry a broad array of footwear for families. 28 ICI SISTERS Sakai Store FAST RETAILING ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Growth Strategy Products VIEWCOMPANY stores are popular among a broad range of consumers thanks to their line of fashionable products at reasonable prices and the personalized service provided by store staff. In the fiscal year ended February 2007, natural brown leather strap Bandar Pumps, which are open and breathable like sandals but dressy enough for the workplace, sold especially well among women in their 20s and boosted sales. Likewise, Resort Sandals were well received by women in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and contributed to sales. Of our offerings for the autumn/winter 2008 season, our ankle-high booties can be worn with miniskirts, jeans, and colorful tights, and have become a top seller. Another popular item is our Jockey Boots, which allow wearers to tuck their jeans snuggly into the boot opening. VIEWCOMPANY is working to improve its management efficiency by standardizing store operations, with the aim of building a resilient corporate structure in the face of mounting competition. Our aims are to provide customers with a friendly environment through the renovation of existing stores and increase the ratio of original products matching consumer needs through the use of market information from FAST RETAILING Group companies. We consider the fiscal year ending February 2008 to be the year of our “second founding,” and in that spirit we are pressing ahead with business reform measures aimed at putting us on a new growth path.
