2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and views of future events, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by the use of words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or other similar expressions in this presentation. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results, and future development programs. You must carefully consider any such statements and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: assumptions about our future financial and operating results, including revenue, income, expenditures, cash balances, and other financial items; our ability to execute our growth and expansion plan, including our ability to meet our goals; current and future economic and political conditions; our ability to compete in our industry; our capital requirements and our ability to raise any additional financing which we may require; our ability to attract customers and further enhance our brand awareness; our ability to hire and retain qualified management personnel and key employees in order to enable us to develop our business; trends in our industry; and other assumptions described in this presentation underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements. We describe certain material risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect our business, including our financial condition and results of operations, under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 20-F (the “Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We base our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed, implied, or forecast by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should be careful about relying on any forward-looking statements. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise. The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this presentation. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this presentation, along with the Annual Report and the documents that are filed as exhibits to the Annual Report, carefully and with the understanding that our actual future results may differ materially from what we currently expect. Industry Data and Forecasts This presentation contains references to market data and industry forecasts and projections, which were obtained or derived from publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies, market research reports, and industry publications and surveys. These sources generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Although we believe such information to be accurate, we have not independently verified the data from these sources. However, we acknowledge our responsibility for all disclosures in this presentation. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and additional uncertainties and risks regarding the other forward-looking statements in this presentation due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and elsewhere in this presentation.

As clarified in the Company's September 2026 Growth Strategy disclosure, "micAuto-PF" as a management category also refers to the broader revenue target of MAC/MMC/Micware North America, Inc., not all of which is platform revenue — current-year revenue (7 OEMs, ¥19.0bn target) is generated entirely through existing OEM Consulting contracts, including Honda. A contract for the platform product itself remains the key validation milestone. + +

7 DynaPlanet: Commercialization Has Begun, Scaling Is the Next Step A 3D spatial platform connecting real-world digital twins, dynamically updated cities and creator-built virtual worlds. Paid / custom 01 Real 3D Interiors High-precision indoor digital twins Stadiums, offices, factories, stations Use cases in facility management and real estate Paid / custom 02 Real 3D Cities Dynamic 3D cities from dashcam / sensor data Real-time updating and high- quality models Smart city, disaster prevention and mobility use cases Free / ecosystem 03 Virtual 3D Worlds AI- and creator-built virtual spaces Events, games, education and communities Studio planned to launch in January 2027 Current status Initial commercial revenue is already being generated through our existing DynaPlanet (e.g., PreSpot), deployed independently of Studio's planned January 2027 launch. Large-scale B2B, B2G and OEM platform deployments remain in the early stages, so we view DynaPlanet as a medium- to long-term growth option rather than a near-term earnings driver.
