The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 37,231 million, a 3.4% up from Yen 35,994 million in the previous term.  Demand for cameras and other broadcasting equipment increased, however profits deteriorated due to price competition, rising costs of materials and R&D outlays for digital broadcasting equipment and development.  Reported Yen 184 million operating losses, Yen 132 million recurring losses and Yen 199 million net losses, respectively.  This compares with Yen 825 million recurring profit and Yen 604 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 400 million and the net profit at Yen 300 million, on a 0.6% fall in turnover, to Yen 37,000 million.  Broadcasting system sales remains high thanks to strong demand for terrestrial digital TV broadcasting products.  Focusing on security products and testing equipment.
