Non-consolidated net sales of 18,205 million yen for the fourth quarter of 2007 were down 2.5% from the third quarter of 2007 and down 6.4% from the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year 2007, net sales were a record high of 73,485 million yen. However, the sales did not reach by 2.3% the previous forecast amount (75,200 million yen), announced on February 1, 2008. The drop in sales brought about by weaker-than-expected sales of precision processing equipment since our customers, mainly in Asia, postponed their capital investment, reflecting the global economy slowdown and stagnating semiconductor market conditions. Consumable sales also decreased slightly from the previous quarter due to a decline in the production volume of semiconductors and electric components.
The next preliminary report for individual earnings and consolidated sales for the fourth quarter will be released on April 22, 2008.
