AWS, Inc. (represented by Mr. Akira Konishi, President) and TRS, Inc. (represented by Mr. Akira Oki) officially agreed to merge effective July 1, 2007.

We believe that combining AWS' strengths in IT businesses and TRS' strengths in engineering businesses will create substantially positive synergy in servicing our clients better. Jointly, we continue to deliver total support in consulting, design & development, operation & maintenance and outsourcing services.

New company name after the merger will be AWS, Inc. While the current business units of AWS will be organized under "GSD business unit" of new AWS, "TRS business unit" will be created in AWS and Mr. Akira Oki, current president of TRS, Inc. will assume the position of director for the TRS business unit.
