(Supplementary information on the consolidated results of operations)
For this three months period, while declining U.S. dollar in the foreign
exchange market and rise in crude oil price continued, corporate capital
investments and individual consumption showed a steady trend and the Japanese
economy was, on the whole, felt to have made a little improvement.
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 5.0% from
the same period of the previous year to 52,461 million yen. At the results
by segment, net sales of Medical Equipment Division were 22,573 million yen
(increaesed by 1.5%), Pharmaceutical Division were 9,876 million yen

(increased by 22.5%), Supermarket Division were 16,127 million yen (decreased

Operating income increased by 12.0% to 3,963 million yen, and recurring
income decreased by 4.4% to 3,387 million yen, due to affect of foreign
exchange gain and loss. On the other hand, net quarter income increased
by 54.1% to 1,624 million yen, due to the decrease of extraordinary loss etc.
