(Qualitative information, financial statements and others)
1. Qualitative information on the consolidated results of operation
The situation of Japanese economy for this nine-month period generally
remained in the trend of gradual expansion due to the steady capital
investments, while we were afraid of a negative impact from the continuous high
oil prices and the underperforming economy in the United States.
On the other hand, as we are in a drastic changing period of the medical
business field, we have made effort to develop progressive medical equipments
by a unique point of view and reinforce injection drug, oral drug, artificial
organs and regenerative medical business to establish a worldwide brand to be a
real global enterprise.
As a result, net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was
129,982 million yen, decreased 10.8% from the same period of the previous
fiscal year because of our discontinuation of the Store business, which had the
sales of 30,973 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The
sales of Medical Equipment business was 83,281 million increased 15.9% from the
same period of the previous fiscal year, the sales of Pharmaceutical business
was 37,491 million yen increased 17.2% from the same period of the previous
fiscal year, the sales of Glass and Materials business was 8,491 million yen
decreased 16.6% from the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Operating income increased 10.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal
year to 11,021 million yen and recurring income increased 7.7% from the same
period of the previous fiscal year to 9,840 million yen. However, net quarter
income decreased 38.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to
5,270 million yen due to the decrease of extraordinary profit.
2. Qualitative information on the consolidated financial position
Total assets increased 25,353 million yen to 344,189 million yen from the end
of previous fiscal year. Current assets increased 6,778 million yen to 151,061
million yen and fixed assets increased 18,574 million yen to 193,128 million
yen, from the end of previous fiscal year. Current assets increased mainly due
to the increase in the trade notes and accounts receivable, and inventories.
Fixed assets increased mainly due to the increase in buildings and structures,
machinery and vehicles in tangible fixed assets.
Total liabilities increased 21,407 million yen to 22,265 million yen. Current
liabilities increased 8,318 million yen to 113,715 million yen and fixed
liabilities increased 13,089 million yen to 108,890 million yen, from the end
of previous fiscal year. Current liabilities increased mainly due to increase
in current portion of bonds and notes payable for plant and equipment, and
fixed liabilities increased mainly due to increase of long-term borrowings.

previous fiscal year. Earned surplus in the net assets increased 1,605 million
yen to 40,293 million yen.
