1 SENSING EVOLUTION Corporate Profile

2 Our environment and health cannot be replaced. DKK-TOA s unique sensor technology helps keep them safe. DKK-TOA has been manufacturing measuring instruments for over 70 years. Based on our core electrochemical sensor technology, we produce a wide range of products through extensive research and development in environmental protection (water, air and gas) and in the field of medicine. Protection of the environment and medical care have become major concerns for humankind in recent years. Environmental pollution is expanding beyond borders, while many countries including Japan are facing rapidly aging societies. The need for our technology has never been greater. We aim to contribute to protecting the world s environment and achieving a social environment that s welcoming for everyone. It s all part of our motto of Good faith, Creation and Challenge. Measuring water Measuring air Measuring gases Measuring health From municipal to industrial uses, water is as essential to our lives as air. Our equipment allows highly precise measurements in every kind of setting, from seas, rivers and lakes to water/sewage treatment facilities, helping control water quality and prevent water pollution. Areas: Seas, rivers, lakes, water/sewage treatment facilities, industrial water, factory wastewater, ultrapure water for semiconductor factories, etc. Air pollutants are not just a threat to people s health: they also cause problems such as global warming. The ambient air analyzers we produce make it possible to monitor air pollution more effectively. As environmental consciousness increases, so does the global demand for PM2.5 analysis equipment. Areas: Photochemical smog, heat-island effect, ozone layer destruction (PM2.5, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide), etc. We produce equipment for measuring the concentration of air pollutants in gases discharged from chimneys at various kinds of plants and facilities, detecting toxic gases released during production processes, and other industrial applications. Areas: Various types of factories, garbage incineration facilities, chemical plants, etc. We manufacture devices for use in dialysis treatment, such as A/B-type solvent dissolving equipment, sodium hypochlorite water activation equipment and endotoxin analyzers. The sensor and electronics technology that we have accumulated over the years enables us to contribute to ensuring safety and security in the field of medicine. Areas: Artificial dialysis treatment facilities, etc. Benchtop Water uality Meter X-series PM2.5 Analyzer FPM-377C Flue Gas CO/O2 Analyzer GCO-200 Bio Luminescence Endotoxin Analyzer Luminutes ET

3 World-leading sensor technology from the environmentally advanced country of Japan based on extensive research and development Total nitrogen/phosphorous/ COD automatic analyzer released to comply with the 5th standards for controlling total emissions. Compact, A4-sized automatic city water quality analyzers delivered to 78 locations in the Tama area, Tokyo. The story of DKK-TOA over the past 70 years is also a story of innovation. Having experienced an era of widespread pollution, Japan is now an environmentally advanced country that continually introduces new or stricter environmental standards to keep pace with the times. We have always striven to stay on top of new regulations and develop cutting-edge products that comply with standards as quickly as possible. We intend to continue creating history with our sensor technology. Developed Japan s first river water quality monitor for the Yodo and Tama rivers, at the request of the former Ministry of Construction.

4 Since our establishment in 1944, we have contributed to the global environment and society as a manufacturer of analytical instruments. Our focus is on environmental protection (water, air and gas) and the medical-related field. We will actively expand our business based on these core fields. Seeking growth in new markets and new fields In the environmental field, we will focus on making original products that only DKK-TOA can develop, by refining our core technology in order to maintain and expand market share. As awareness of the importance of environmental protection is increasing and needs of particular countries, and focus on expanding our overseas business. At the same time, we have newly established our medical-related devices as another core of the business. As populations around the world grow older, the market for medical-related devices is also expected to grow rapidly. Since first applying our sensor technology for water quality analysis to the development of dialysis treatment equipment in 1988, we have delivered a range of outstanding products. In order to grow our business further, we opened a new factory for medical-related devices in October 2017, to expand production of dialysis solvent dissolving equipment and promote development of new products. worldwide, we expect demand for our technology to grow accordingly. This is especially true in the Asian market, where economic and population growth is anticipated. Until now, we have relied on an extended distribution network in overseas countries and formed alliances with local companies. We will accelerate development of products in line with the legal regulations Good faith, Creation, Challenge We have three mottos: Good faith promising over 70 years of accumulated technological expertise and rigorous made in Japan quality; Creation of products that utilize our core technology to meet a variety of environmental needs; and Challenge actively developing our business in both the Japanese and global markets. DKK-TOA aims to be a company that our clients and society trust, and to continue contributing to protecting the global environment and healthy lifestyles. President, Representative Director Toshio Takahashi

5 Good faith Creation Decades of accumulated technological know-how, and the reliability of made in Japan. Product development using our original core technology delivering products quickly to various markets. As a leader in our field, we have made many remarkable achievements, such as developing Japan's first analytical instruments and later downsizing them. Our products, manufactured in compliance with strict Japanese quality standards, are actively employed in a broad range of situations both within Japan and around the world. From development, production and sales to after-sales services, we have established a consistent system that enables us to respond to our clients requests quickly and reliably. By aggressively utilizing automation and IoT, we can conserve human resources for those processes that can only be performed by human hands and eyes, while allowing the next generation to master skilled techniques accumulated over many years. Our products are utilized in diverse areas of the environment (water, air and gas) and in the field of medicine. Each of them has its origins in our original, world-class core technology: the electrochemical sensor. Product development has become increasingly competitive recently as the global market expands, while a wave of commoditization is also affecting the market. It is essential to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by creating original products that make full use of our core technology. Furthermore, in this time of rapid change, it is also important to develop products that respond to the needs of the market quickly. < R&D Center > Our research and development center is the heart of DKK-TOA, and installed with state-of-the-art equipment. This is where we conduct technological research, and develop products for the societies of the future. < Electrodes > Our versatile lineup of high-performance electrode products matches diverse applications.
