Well, it's already July! We've entered the second half of the fiscal year, and this month is actually a special one for us at Foss. Since our founder, Nils Foss, established the company in July 1956, we hold a ceremony every year to celebrate "Foss's Birthday," where Foss subsidiaries around the world celebrate with a "birthday cake." This year is particularly significant as it marks our 70th anniversary, and we plan to celebrate grandly in various countries. Foss's history began in 1956 with the launch of the "Ceratest," a portable grain moisture meter. It feels truly innovative that, 70 years ago, we introduced a measurement device specifically for grains that was quick and easy to use. Since then, we have continuously provided our customers with cutting-edge analytical instruments, such as Promilk, the prototype of our current dairy component measurement device, Milkoscan, and Bactoscan, which was already close to today's raw milk bacterial count measurement device in the 1980s. As we celebrate our 70th anniversary this year and beyond, we will continue to introduce new products that meet our customers' needs, and we look forward to your continued support.

We held an open house and various seminars for the grain and feed industry as well as public research facilities in Kobe. ■Overview: - Greetings and introduction of Foss product lineup *Online participation available - Basics of NIR and selection of optimal models *Online participation available - Demonstration of calibration software FossCalibrator: Let's create a calibration curve *On-site only - Sample measurement and open house *On-site only If you would like any materials, please feel free to contact us.

I want to invest in equipment, but... 'The costs are high.' 'I want to implement it this year, but I can't take the plunge.' 'I'm hesitant because the analysis equipment is expensive.' —For customers with such concerns, we highly recommend utilizing the 'subsidy program.' You can receive up to two-thirds of the costs, and the acceptance rate is a high 67%. This is a great opportunity to move forward with necessary equipment investments while significantly reducing implementation costs! The subsidy program is publicly offered by the national government and various local governments, so timing is crucial. 'The subsidy program seems complicated...' 'What kind of subsidies are available?' 'Will I qualify for this subsidy?' If you have such concerns, please rest assured. Feel free to contact us! Phone: 03-5962-4811

We would like to congratulate you on your continued prosperity during these times. We sincerely appreciate your exceptional support. Regarding the matter at hand, costs such as raw materials, labor, and transportation continue to fluctuate, and we are making efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce expenses to absorb these costs. However, as you are all aware, due to the turmoil in the global situation leading to soaring raw material prices, it has become increasingly difficult to absorb the rising procurement costs solely through the efficiency of sales activities and logistics operations. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we must revise our product prices. We kindly ask for your understanding of the circumstances. For details regarding the revised prices of each product, please feel free to contact us. ■ Products subject to price revision: Equipment, reagents, consumables, parts, some service fees, maintenance contracts ■ Implementation date of price revision: For maintenance contracts, from orders and renewals received on April 1, 2026; for equipment, reagents, consumables, and parts, from orders received by our company on April 1, 2026; service fees will apply from services conducted after April 1, 2026. * For the revised service fee schedule, please contact our company.

We held a preview event for our newly released latest device, "Micral." Micral is a next-generation solution equipped with the latest LIBS technology (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), achieving both "significant simplification of sample preparation" and "overwhelming analysis speed." It accommodates a variety of samples (matrices) such as food, feed, and dairy products, bringing innovation to on-site analysis operations. We wanted you to directly experience the operability and speed of Micral, so we invited customers to bring their own samples for measurement during this event. We hope that this can serve as a hint for improving the efficiency and safety of your analysis operations and be considered as one of the factors in your future equipment selection.
