                      Although the Company was incorporated through a sole-share transfer on October 1, 2015 as a wholly owning parent company of Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd., in substance, the scope of consolidation has not changed. Accordingly, when items are compared against the same period of the previous year, Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd.'s operating results for the nine month period of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 (from April 1 to December 31, 2014) are used, and when items are compared against the previous fiscal year-end, Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd.'s financial position at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 are used.


                      1. Explanation Concerning Information regarding Consolidated Operating Results

                        Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of FY2015 were ¥1,731.5 billion (down ¥ 609.4 billion from the same period of FY2014), operating loss ¥19.6 billion (operating loss ¥15.7 billion in the same period of FY2014), ordinary loss ¥27.0 billion (ordinary loss ¥25.2 billion in the same period of FY2014) and net loss for the period ¥48.6 billion (net loss ¥62.1 billion in the same period of FY2014).

                        The operating results for the first nine months of FY2015 by business segment are as follows


                        1. As for petroleum business segment, the net sales decreased due to the decline in crude oil prices. Furthermore, profit declined by increasing of cost of sales that was the effect of inventory valuation caused by the decline in crude oil prices. As a result, the segment reported net sales of ¥1,718.0 billion for the first nine months of FY2015 (down ¥596.0 billion from the same period of FY2014) and segment loss of ¥41.5 billion (segment loss ¥58.0 billion in the same period of FY2014).


                        2. As for petrochemical business segment, net sales were ¥36.5 billion for the first nine months of FY2015 (down 4.4 billion from the same period of FY2014) by the decline in crude oil prices although sales volume of the petrochemical products increased. However, the segment reported segment income of 0.2 billion (segment loss ¥4.3 billion in the same period of FY2014).


                        3. As for oil exploration and production business segment, the segment reported net sales of 39.1 billion for the first nine months of FY2015 (down ¥21.7 billion from the same period of FY2014) and segment income of ¥14.4 billion (down ¥21.2 billion from the same period of FY2014) due to the decline in the sales price of crude oil.


                        4. Explanation Concerning Information regarding Consolidated Financial Position

                          As for the Company's financial position on a consolidated basis as of the end of the third quarter of FY2015, total assets as of December 31, 2015 amounted to ¥1,372.1 billion, down ¥56.5 billion from March 31, 2015, the end of FY2014, mainly reflecting decreased accounts receivable-trade, inventories, and accounts payable-trade due to the decline in crude oil prices. Net assets as of December 31, 2015 amounted to ¥157.8 billion, with a net worth ratio of 8.5%.


                        5. Explanation Concerning Information regarding Consolidated Business Outlook

                        6. The consolidated business outlook for the full year of FY 2015 was revised due to increase of inventory valuation loss attributable to the drop in crude oil prices, compared with the consolidated business outlook announced on 5 November, 2015.

                          This business outlook is based on the assumptions of estimated crude oil price at US$45.4/ barrel and exchange rate at JPY121.0/US$.

                          (Assumptions at the previous forecast: crude oil price US$55.3 per barrel, exchange rate JPY120.9 per US$)

                        7. Information about the summary of business results (Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)


                          1. Change in significant subsidiaries during the current accounting period

                            For the reason that GYXIS CORPORATION (Cosmo Petroleum Gas Co., Ltd changed its corporate name to GYXIS CORPORATION on April 1, 2015) correspond to the jointly controlled entities, the company is not included in the scope of consolidation, but applied Equity Method from the first quarter of fiscal year ending March 2016.


                          2. Adoption of accounting method uniquely adopted to prepare consolidated financial statements for the current quarter

                            Tax expenses for Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd. and some of its consolidated subsidiaries are calculated by multiplying a reasonably estimated effective tax rate by net income before taxes for FY 2015.

                            Income tax adjustments are included in the "income taxes" account stated in "Consolidated Statements of Income".


                          3. Changes in Accounting Policies, Accounting Estimates and Restatements Changes in Accounting Policies

                          4. (Application of Accounting Standard for Business Combinations

                            The Accounting Standard for Business Combinations (Accounting Standards Board of Japan (ASBJ) Statement No.21 of September 13, 2013), the Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements (ASBJ Statement No.22 of September 13, 2013), and the Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures (ASBJ Statement No.7 of September 13, 2013) and others have been applied from the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year under review. Differences caused by changes in Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd.

                            in subsidiaries that continue to be under its control are recorded as capital surplus, and expenses related to acquisition are now recorded as expenses for the consolidated fiscal year in which they were incurred. In addition, regarding business combinations conducted after the beginning of the first quarter of the consolidated fiscal year under review, revisions to the purchase price allocation following the determination of the provisional accounting methods are now reflected in the quarterly financial statements for the quarterly period of the consolidated fiscal term in which the business combination occurred. In addition, the quarterly net income and other statements have been changed accordingly, and minority interest has been changed to non- controlling interest. To reflect these changes, the financial statements for the first nine months of the previous consolidated fiscal term and the previous consolidated fiscal year have revised.

                            The Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and other standards are applied in accordance with the transitional treatment stipulated in Paragraph 58-2 (4) of the Accounting Standard for Business Combinations, Paragraph 44-5 (4) of the Accounting Standard for Consolidated Financial Statements and Paragraph 57-4 (4) of the Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures, and are applied from the beginning of the first nine months of the consolidated fiscal term under review onwards.

                            The effect of the application of the accounting standard has little effect on consolidated financial statements and segment information for the first nine months of FY2015.

                                (Company Split of Management Business of Group Companies) The Transaction Under Common Control

                                Cosmo Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter the "CEH") succeeded the group corporate planning, management support and management administration departments spun off from the wholly-owned subsidiary Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd., on January 1, 2016.


                                1. Overview of the Transaction

                                  1. The name of combined business and the contents of the business

                                    The name of the business: Group Company Management Business

                                    The contents of the business: management control of CEH's group companies involved in comprehensive petroleum business and any other business incidental thereto.

                                  2. The date of corporate combination January 1, 2016

                                  3. Legal form of business combination

                                    Simple absorption-type company split whereby Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd. became the splitting company and both CEH became the succeeding companies.

                                  4. The purpose of the transaction

                                  5. In order to realize optimal management resource distribution centripetally from a group-wide perspective, "monitoring of the group's management" will be separated from "business execution" and CEH will focus on determination of the group's management policy.

                                    Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd. issued 1,200 new class shares to allocate the third-party, CEH, on January 1, 2016.

                                    In order to improve fund-raising capability of our group, we have transferred the land within the consolidated group on January 4, 2016. The impact of the revaluation reserve for land and the adjustment of the tax effect by the transaction is still calculating.

                                  6. Outline of Accounting Treatment

                                  7. The transaction was treated as a transaction under common control based on "Accounting Standard for Business Combinations (ASBJ Statement No.21of September 13, 2013)" and "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Business Combinations and Accounting Standard for Business Divestitures (ASBJ Guidance No.10 of September 13, 2013)."
