OwnerTakao Isomura, 100% of shares

The company says its business is the management and operation of securities. That shows up clearly in the income statement. Revenue for the year to March consisted of ¥19.5mn of dividend income, while non-operating income included ¥94,000 of interest income and ¥3.1mn of miscellaneous income. Operating profit was ¥15.9mn after ¥3.7mn of selling, general and administrative expenses, but ordinary profit fell to ¥5.47mn once ¥13.6mn of interest expense was booked. Net profit was ¥5.4mn.

The ownership chain is tight. The filing says Takao Isomura owns 100% of Omori Engei Holdings, or 200 shares, and serves as its representative director. Ota Kaiki also says Isomura concurrently serves as a director of the listed company. The disclosure states there are no transaction relationships between Ota Kaiki and the holding company.

For readers outside Japan, the document puts hard numbers around an unlisted entity that holds nearly a third of a listed company's voting rights. What it does not provide is any detail on the bonds' maturity, coupon or purpose, and it does not describe any planned change in the 31.98% stake. So this is a clean year-end snapshot of a large shareholder's finances, not a roadmap for how the structure might change.
