1-2 Highlight 　

◆Decrease in income and profit year on year Net sales decreased 19.0% year on year mainly due to exclusion of Motor business subsidiary, Fuji Micro Co., Ltd. and the impact of the earthquake. Although operating income increased 4.1% thanks to improved gross margin rate and reductions in SGA costs, the net income decreased 80.9% to \17 million, because of factors such as recorded extraordinary loss and the foreign exchange loss. Both sales and income performed over the original forecast.

◆Improved profit in Plastic businessAlthough it was improved after second quarter, sales in Precision Springs and Plastics (mainly in OA equipment and automotive market) decreased due to the impact of the earthquake. Profitability in Plastic business both in domestic and overseas was improved. Domestic income in Precision Springs was improved, although it was decreased in overseas.

◆Decreased loss amount due to downsizing of mobile phone handset business in Hinge Although the loss was increased compared to the forecast due to the delay of downsizing the business, it was reduced by rise in sale prices and reduction of fixed costs such as labor cost after the second quarter.

2-2 　 Forecast for FY ended March 2012

◆Decreased in both net sales and income for the full FY2012Although net sales and income resulted better than original forecast in 1st Half, income in the 2 nd Half of FY2012 is expected to be decreased due to decreased net sales in Precision Spring and Plastic business. Downward revision as the full FY2012 will be expected due to increased loss from the delay in downsizing Hinge business.

◆Slow down in Precision Spring business from the 3QLess orders from tablet terminator or OA equipment markets are expected both in domestic and overseas from the 3rd quarter, since customers’ production adjustment. In addition, a decrease in sales at our subsidiary in Thailand which suffered from the historical flood and customers’ production adjustment both in domestic and overseas operations given the parts shortage are expected. Thus we forecasted decrease of \500 million in net sales and \150 million in operating income.

◆Extraordinary loss from share exchange will be recordedAlthough we will record an extraordinary loss of \122 million from the share exchange to make Strawberry Corporation a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanex in the 3 rd quarter, we also expect to record an extraordinary income from the change in employee pension plan. As a result, the influence will be reduced.

Although sales and income in Precision Spring business resulted better than the original forecast, they are expected to be decreased due to the less orders from PC related and OA equipment markets from the 2nd half. In addition, decrease of \500 million in net sales and \150 million in operating income is forecasted from the historical flood in Thailand. In Plastic business, although the sales is decreased for automotive markets, profitability both in domestic and overseas will be improved. Net sales will be increased in Hinge business, due to the delay in downsizing the business, and loss will be expanded in income.
