USS Gunma Announces Integration of Auction Operations

USS Gunma Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of USS Co., Ltd., will combine the operations of its Gunma Auction Site and Fujioka Auction Site, both of which are in the northern Kanto area, at a single location. USS Gunma is taking this action to increase the number of vehicles it can handle and to operate its auctions more efficiently.

1.	Integration plan Starting in January 2010, auctions will be held every Saturday at the Gunma Auction Site. The Fujioka Auction Site will become a storage facility for vehicles to be auctioned at the Gunma facility and will be enlarged. This will allow the Gunma Auction Site to handle a larger number of vehicles.
2.	Effect on results of operations This realignment of operations at USS Gunma will have only a negligible effect on consolidated results of operations in the current fiscal year.
