CFO Takeshima attended the award ceremony on October 19th and commented as follows.

``We believe that the Fast 50 has great significance as it is an award that recognizes PRODRONE's growth potential based on a simple ``number'': ``growth rate based on revenue (sales) for the past three fiscal years.'' We believe that the reason behind our award is that there are high expectations from society for the industrial drone industry in which we are involved. However, seeing and using drones in our daily lives has not become commonplace at all, and there are many issues that we need to address. That's why I believe there is great opportunity there. Although this is our first time receiving the award, there are many companies among the 50 that have been ranked multiple times. The Fast 50 is evaluated based on "rate" rather than "amount", and the more a company grows, the more difficult it becomes to win an award. In order to continue receiving this award, we will continue to refine PRODRONE's unique technology, which is indispensable in the new industry of industrial drones, and aim to contribute even more to society. ”
