Advance Create Co., Ltd. has disclosed its relationship with SBI Holdings, Inc. following a series of capital measures implemented in 2025 to strengthen its financial position and support long-term profitability. Through a third-party allotment of common and Class A shares aimed at maintaining its listing and enhancing earnings, SBI Holdings has come to hold 20.03% of the company’s voting rights, making it the largest major shareholder and a related company, while one outside director with senior roles within the SBI insurance group now sits on Advance Create’s board. The company stresses that SBI Holdings respects its continued listing and independent management, provides cooperative support without compromising autonomy, and that there are currently no material related‑party transactions with SBI Holdings requiring disclosure, a point likely intended to reassure investors and other stakeholders about governance and minority shareholder protections.

Advance Create Co., Ltd. is a Japan-listed company focused on media and media-representation services, operating through subsidiaries such as Hokenichiba Co., Ltd. and trading on the Tokyo, Sapporo and Fukuoka markets.
The company confirmed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the fiscal year-end of September 30, 2025 after uncovering prior discrepancies: during fiscal 2024 PV calculation errors identified by the former auditor led to an independent investigative committee, which quantified discrepancies and determined prior-period restatements were necessary. The firm amended financial statements for fiscal years 2020–2023 and several quarterly reports, disclosed the issue as a material weakness, and reflected required adjustments; additionally, misstated revenue in its subsidiary’s Media and Media Rep businesses was identified and corrected in consolidated results. These actions address significant impacts on financial reporting, signal heightened governance and regulatory scrutiny, and carry implications for investor confidence and stakeholder oversight while the company implements remedial internal-control measures.

Advance Create Co., Ltd. is a publicly listed company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market and on the regional Fukuoka and Sapporo exchanges. The company reported that after correcting prior-period PV sales calculations following an investigation that identified an excess liability of ¥4,973 million, it amended prior financial statements and submitted its securities report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, thereby regaining compliance with the listing maintenance net-asset criterion. However, Advance Create remains non-compliant with the Tokyo Prime Market’s freely tradable shares market capitalization and free-float ratio criteria; the company says it is strengthening internal controls, pursuing capital and business stabilization measures, and improving profitability to address remaining listing risks and reassure investors and regulators.
