(Attached material) Business Report (from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024)

Current status of the Group

1. Process and outcome of the business

All forward-looking statements included in this explanation were determined reasonable by CYBERDYNE Inc. (the "Company") and its group companies (collectively referred to as the "Group") based on currently available information for the consolidated March 31, 2024, and certain assumptions made by the Group.

To solve various issues facing society, the Group will make full use of "Cybernics" (a new field that integrates and combines human, robot, AI, and information systems) and handle HCPS (Human-Cyber- Physical Space) in a unified manner. Furthermore, through Cybernics, the Group promotes the realization of "Techno Peer Support" and future development by creating the "Cybernics Industry," a new industry that will follow the robotics and IT industries.

The Group defines "Techno Peer Support Society" as a safe and secure society where people and technology coexist, cooperate and mutually support each other to enhance the independence and freedom of people of all generations and solve various problems in their lives both mentally and physically. To realize "Techno Peer Support Society" and "Cybernics Industry", the Group is developing various Cybernics Technologies that improve, regenerate, expand, and support the wearer's physical functions.

Major business lines of the Group (As of March 31, 2024)

The major business lines of the Group are as follows.

  • Research, development, manufacturing and sales of Cybernics Systems for medical and long-term care field
  • Research, development, manufacturing and sales of Cybernics Systems for households and workplaces
  • Cybernics Treatment Service using Cybernics
  • Training Service using Cybernics

Status of business operation

<>

The Group continues its efforts to disseminate Cybernics Treatment, a treatment program using Medical HAL systems that aims to induce improvement and regeneration of the functions of the brain, nerves, and muscles into a global standard of treatment.

(Japan)

Post-marketing surveillance on the Medical HAL Lower Limb Type Double-leg Model suggested a high efficacy and safety towards progressive neuromuscular diseases, for which no effective treatment methods are available in the medical world yet. Based on the extremely high efficacy and safety results obtained in post-marketing surveillance, Medical HAL Lower Limb Type was given increased points in the 2022 revision of medical treatment fees as "a remarkable functional improvement effect unprecedented in patients with progressive neuromuscular diseases for which no other effective treatment methods have been established, including already approved drugs" (excerpt from the medical technology evaluation proposal

7 by the Japanese Society for Neurological Therapeutics).

Regarding spinal cord-related diseases, the Japanese Minister of Health, Labor, and Welfare approved additional indications of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM) and hereditary spastic paraplegia for HAL on October 2022. Regarding traumatic spinal cord injuries, the Company is consulting with the regulators on the necessary steps to obtain medical device approvals. Regarding stroke, the Company discussed the result of the investigator-initiated clinical trial using the Medical HAL Lower Limb Type single- leg model (HIT2016 trial). Considering the practice conditions surrounding acute stroke treatment and recovery rehabilitation, the Company is preparing additional studies (clinical trials) while consulting with the regulator.

In addition, the University of Tsukuba Hospital started clinical trials to investigate the effect of HAL on improving the physical functions of children affected by cerebral palsy in January 2022. The clinical trial is currently in progress. The Company has also developed a small Medical HAL Lower Limb Type model equivalent to the device used in the clinical trial for cerebral palsy. The Company submitted paperwork to obtain approvals from the PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency) in June 2023 for the same group of patients as the larger size of Medical HAL Lower Limb Type.

(USA)

As a medical service platform for individual users, RISE Healthcare Group (RHG), the Company's subsidiary, is gradually expanding the number of facilities, mainly in the Southern part of California. Four RHG facilities currently offer fee-based service using HAL, and the number of treatment sessions is increasing steadily.

The Company also obtained marketing clearance for a smaller Medical HAL Lower Limb Type model and additional indication of cerebral palsy (above 12 years old) from the U.S. FDA. With the approval of the smaller model as a medical device, patients between 100 cm and 150 cm in height can now be treated with Medical HAL. In addition, the company also received approval to expand the indications for the treatment of HTLV-1-related myelopathy (HAM) and hereditary spastic paraplegia which were already approved in Japan.

Based on the accumulated experience of Cybernics Treatment in the U.S., the approval of a smaller model of Medical HAL, and the expansion of approved diseases, the Company will continue to expand the business in this region.

(EMEA: Mainly Europe and the Middle East)

The Group continues to promote Cybernics Treatment in the region. For example, following large-scale installation of HAL in Türkiye, 25 units of HAL was shipped out to an Italian Social Company, Coopselios, in May 2023. The Company is planning to ship out additional units.

In Germany, the G-BA (German Federal Joint Committee), the public health insurance authority, has announced that it will conduct a clinical trial for spinal cord injury based on public health insurance coverage. Related parties are preparing for the trial.

(APAC: Asia Pacific)

CYBERDYNE MALAYSIA SDN. BHD. is working to disseminate Cybernics Treatment in a wide area of South East Asia, India, Australia, and Taiwan.

The Group continues to strengthen its partnership with Malaysia's government-affiliated Social Security Organization (SOCSO). The collaboration resulted in increased access for Malaysian patients under the SOCSO coverage, and the treatment is currently offered in twelve facilities through 112 income-generating rental units as of the end of March 2024. Construction of the National Center for Neuro-Robotics and Cybernics, the largest medical complex in Southeast Asia, is scheduled for completion by the end of 2024. The Group expects to install significant numbers of HAL in this center.

<>

The Group has developed various types of HAL for seniors to improve their physical function, prevent illness and frailty, and reduce the requirement for care. These include the HAL Lower Limb Type for enhancing the ability to walk, the HAL Single Joint Type to train elbow, knee, and ankle movements, and the HAL Lumbar Type to train the trunk and lower limb function.

(Service at facilities for individuals)

The Group continues to offer "Neuro HALFIT", a program that induces improvement of the brain-nerve and musculoskeletal system through utilizing HAL. The program is currently available at 18 Robocare Centers operated by business partners. The Group plans to open additional Robocare Centers.

("Neuro HALFIT" at Home as a service towards individuals)

"Neuro HALFIT" at Home is a home-based program in which individuals rent HAL and engage in HAL- assisted workouts at Home. The HAL Monitor, which is linked to Cyberdyne's cloud and visualizes bio- electrical signals that command body movements and posture information, enables the wearer to obtain visual feedback as well. In addition to providing online support by therapists, trainers, and other professional staff, the Company also work with home-based service providers to promote in-person support, from setting up equipment at home to implementing programs.

<>

The Group is preparing for the commercialization of the "Cyvis" series, an ultra-small size vital sensor designed to manage the risk of arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation and prevent myocardial infarction, and stroke by accumulating, analyzing, and processing various healthcare data such as cardiac activity, brain activity, body temperature, SpO2, and daily activities using its AI system. "Cyvis" also has an optional feature to measure breathing conditions while sleeping, enabling easy yet highly accurate screening of risks of sleep apnea syndrome. In addition, together with "JUKUSUI Alarm," a healthcare application that visualizes sleep, developed and operated by group company C2, the Group is strengthening its healthcare business as a whole. The Company submitted a medical device approval application for its next-generation model, "Cyvis 2", on April 2023.
