(Supplementary information on the consolidated results of operations)
For this three months period, while decelerating foreign economy and
rise in crude oil price continued, corporate capital investments and
individual consumption showed a steady trend and the Japanese economy
made little improvement in general.
Under the circumstances, we continued to work hard on development of new
products and on reinforcement of productivity and sales capabilities
so as to improve profitability.
As a result, net sales for this three months period increased by 5.7%
from the same period of the previous year to 49,975 million yen.
This was primarily because of the growth of the Medical Division
Operating income increased by 4.1% to 3,537 million yen, and recurring
income increased by 12.0% to 3,542 million yen. On the other hand, net quarter
income decreased by 39.2% to 1,054 million yen, due to impairment loss included
in extraordinary loss.

(Supplementary information on the changes in the financial position)
(1)Changes in the financial position
Total assets decreased by 2,264 million yen from the end of the previous
fiscal year to 291,484 million yen. The decrease consisted of decrease in
current asset by 7,233 million yen and increase in fixed assets by 4,969
million yen.
Current assets decreased mainly because of the decrease in
cash and bank deposits as a result of the payment for income taxes,
purchases of fixed assets as well as repayments for long-term bank loans.
Liabilities, on the other hand, decreased by 2,502 million yen to 192,937
million yen, and Shareholders' Equity increased by 181 million yen to
96,881 million yen.
(2)Cash flows
As regards cash flows for this three month period, net cash used in
operating activities amounted to 1,112 million yen, primarily reflecting
the payment for income taxes. Net cash used in investing activities
amounted to 8,395 million yen mainly due to payments for acquisition of
fixed assets. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 1,219
million yen reflecting repayment of long-term bank loans.
As a result, the balance of cash and cash equivalent at the end of this
three month period decreased by 10,417 million yen to 43,317 million yen.

(Supplementary information on the business forecasts)
The severe management environment is anticipated to continue,
due to the concern in jump in crude oil price and rise in interest rate.
We will, however, continue to work on development of new products,
strengthen productivity of each division, and strive hard to improve
profitability.
There is no amendment to the forecast announced on May 20, 2005.
