The company has two domestic subsidiaries (Techno Core in Tokyo, established 1999; One All, established 2015) and one international affiliate (AUST-JPN BRIDGE PTY LTD in Australia, 1988). Annual revenue is disclosed at approximately ¥35 million, with registered capital reduced to ¥9 million in 2019 from a ¥36 million peak in 2000.
