Business Performance and Cash Flows 1. Business Performance (1) Overview In the entertainment industry as it is relevant to our group, all of the next-generation computer entertainment systems, Nintendo's 'Wii' and Sony's 'PLAYSTATION(R)3'('PS3'), in addition to the already released 'Xbox360' video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, are now on the market. Video game consoles now all offer online capabilities as a standard feature [?c=8212]including for the handheld systems 'Nintendo DS' and 'PlayStation(R)Portable'('PSP') - and sales of products and services on line are expanding. The success of Nintendo DS has supported an increase in the number of the game users in a wide age group; as a result, demand has grown, preferences have diversified, and the market continues to expand. The Healthcare Reform Act, enacted in June 2006, demonstrates the trend towards prevention in the health industry relevant to our group. As of 2008, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will require health insurance associations and other health insurers to provide what are called 'designated checkups and health guidance' at the national level to fight lifestyle-related diseases. The public is taking full-scale measures towards health maintenance, particularly by establishing exercise habits and improving diets. This in turn has led to an increasing awareness of health issues, and the market promises to grow even further. In these circumstances, the Digital Entertainment segment enjoyed strong sales in the market for video game software. The soccer game series 'Pro Evolution Soccer 6', released in Europe in October 2006, has proved particularly popular with its multiplatform compatibility. Cumulative sales of the soccer game series recorded over 7,580,000 units for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, already surpassing the volume for the whole of the previous year, itself a record. Sales of products utilizing the 'e-AMUSEMENT' system, a service connecting amusement arcades nationwide via a network, recorded consistently stable sales by introducing innovative new titles on top of the established mainstays. Additionally, sales of 'GRANDCROSS', a large-size token-operated game for amusement arcades, were also steady. In the Health and Fitness segment, the revised profit structure of our directly managed facilities has improved progress in the 'scrapping and building' of our facilities. We believe we have managed to improve the profit structure of our fitness clubs and obtain more stable revenue. We are continuing to open large stores next to stations and in other prime locations, and also, revise our fee-based programs and introduce our original IT health management system in our facilities, which we believe will provide services that improve customer satisfaction. In the Gaming and System segment, Konami's sales have increased in the growing North American market due to efforts to expand sales volumes. Sales of the 'Konami Casino Management System' in particular have risen steadily. In system sales, we believe the increase in the number of units installed helps to maintain our ongoing income from maintenance and servicing, expected to be a stable source of income. As a result, consolidated net revenues during the current quarter, was Y92,838 million, a 15.1% increase compared to the same period in the previous year, and Y212,437 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, a 10.3% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. Results of our operating income during the current quarter amounted to Y16,583 million, a 1.2% increase compared to the same period in the previous year, and Y26,698 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, a 12.0% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. During the current quarter, consolidated net income amounted to Y9,473 million, a 2.1% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year and Y14,587 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, a 12.3% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year. The primary reason of the year-to-year decrease in consolidated net income resulted from the sales of shares of an affiliated company, recording gain on sale of Y6,917 million, executed in the same period of the previous fiscal year. (2) Performance by Business Segment Summary of net revenues by business segment: Millions of Yen Nine months ended Nine months ended December 31, 2005 December 31, 2006 Digital Entertainment Y124,110 Y129,447 Health & Fitness 60,859 66,636 Gaming & System 8,000 11,847 Other, Corporate and Eliminations (420) 4,507 Consolidated net revenues Y192,549 Y212,437 Digital Entertainment segment: In our Computer and Video Games business in Japan, our soccer titles 'J.LEAGUE Winning Eleven 10 + EUROPE LEAGUE '06-'07' for the PlayStation(R)2 and 'WORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven DS' for the Nintendo DS, as well as 'Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops' for the PSP recorded strong sales. In North America, 'Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops' for the PSP, 'Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin' for the Nintendo DS, 'Elebits' for the Wii, and the flagship 'Dance Dance Revolution' music series likewise recorded strong sales. In Europe, a multiplatform version of 'Pro Evolution Soccer' series appeared and has already outsold the previous version. In our Toy & Hobby business, the mainstay 'Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game' series continued to record steady sales worldwide during the current quarter. In October 2006, meanwhile, the innovative new portable electronic toy 'OTOIZUMU' went on sale, along with 'Attame Kenkyujo (Labo)' and the 'Digi' series. In the market for action figures, our original contents 'BUSOU SHINKI' series continued to record strong sales. In our Amusement business, in the area of video games, the 'MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB' series, which utilize, the 'e-AMUSEMENT' service, a network-linked arcade game connecting amusement arcade machines nationwide, continued to garner favorable reviews. Several new releases also recorded strong sales: 'BASEBALL HEROS 2', the latest version of a popular video game series played with cards bearing the portraits of professional baseball players; 'NOVA USAGI no GAME de RYUGAKU!?', an English quiz game developed with the cooperation and supervision of Nova Corporation, a major language school; and 'CURUCURULABO', an innovative new game that activates the brain with special training exercises. Music games also maintained strong sales. Among token-operated games, 'GRANDCROSS', an extra-large token-operated gaming machine, likewise continued to sell well. Strong sales were also recorded by 'GI-HORSEPARK EX', the latest offering in the 'GI' series of large-size token-operated horseracing games. In our Online business, Konami began offering consumers new ways to have fun as two new services debuted: an online match-up service for 'MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB' game consoles for PSP and PS3, already performing well in the commercial market; and 'e-AMUSEMENT SPOT', a wireless LAN service, available in amusement arcades throughout Japan. The company intends to continue aggressively promoting new network-based services. In the mobile-related business, several new services were launched in October 2006, and their membership has grown favorably. They include 'deco R', a free site for image-enriched e-mail, and the 'KONAMI MUSIC CALL' service site, where customers can change the ring tone of their cell phone to whatever tune they choose. Performance was also strong in overseas distribution of mobile content, done via major carriers across the globe. In our Multimedia business, a series of new items tied in with our popular contents such as video game guides, novels, picture books, and original music CDs and animated DVDs were released and sold well. In addition, an originally developed animated TV program, 'SaintOctober', started its broadcast in January 2007, following in the footsteps of 'FAIRY MUSKETEERS AKAZUKIN' and 'TOKIMEKI MEMORIAL Only Love'. We intend to produce original content that capitalizes on synergies between the different areas of our digital entertainment business. As a result, the Digital Entertainment segment recorded consolidated net revenues of Y65,907 million (a 14.7% increase compared to the same period in the previous year), during the current quarter and Y129,447 million (a 4.3% increase compared to the same period in the previous year), for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Health & Fitness segment: In our fitness clubs business, in October 2006, Konami Sports Club Kawasaki (Kanagawa), a new facility under Konami's direct management, opened in LAZONA Kawasaki plaza, which is directly accessible from JR Kawasaki Station. With an impressive area of 4,500 m(2), the club is equipped with the e-XAX IT-enabled health management system and the latest exercise machines, and offers a full range of recreational amenities, including bathing facilities, an esthetic salon, a therapy center, and a cafeteria. Since opening it has received praise. Konami Sports Clubs offer a wide assortment of health programs that are enjoyable and offer peace of mind. Besides fitness, diet, spa, and esthetic services, programs to prevent lifestyle diseases are also available. The '6 WEEKS' fitness program for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases assists participants on two fronts; work outs and meal plans. In the nursing care and prevention business, as Japan's population steadily ages, Konami has been taking extra steps to help people maintain and enhance their health both inside and outside its facilities. For example, it operates a community support service on contract from local government, whereby Konami facilities send out exercise instructors; runs the 'HATSHURATHU KENKOJYUKU', which provides follow-up to this program and develops and markets fitness equipment designed for senior citizens. In our product development activities, as a way to expand sales channels, Konami has started offering products on line. In December 2006, 'KONAMISPORTSCLUB ONLINE' and 'i-revo Kenkou' site were launched and goods that are available in stores, as well as special items only available on the Web site, are offered. In October 2006, Konami's proprietary 'e-XAX', IT-enabled health management system, was conferred an award of excellence for the year 2006, 'NetKADEN Grand Prix' sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The 'e-XAX' system supports people in their efforts to build fitness by keeping an ongoing record of their exercise history in various real-life situations - at sports clubs, when out and about and at home - and managing health-related data. As a result, Health & Fitness segment recorded consolidated net revenues of Y22,191 million (a 9.6% increase compared to the same period in the previous year), during the current quarter and Y66,636 million (a 9.5% increase compared to the same period in the previous year), for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Gaming & Systems segment: The 'Konami Casino Management System' continues to sell well in North America, where casinos have enthusiastically adopted information technology. The number of units installed increased steadily as new casinos opened in Oklahoma and Mississippi in October 2006. Monthly sales from maintenance and servicing have also risen steadily. This, along with installation of new machines under profit-sharing agreements, is helping our gaming business achieve stability by generating steady revenues. Moreover, in Pennsylvania, where gaming has recently been legalized, Konami has obtained a license and started selling equipment, further strengthening the 'K2V' series platform. While the Australian market remains flat, Konami has been working to develop business and secure new clientele both locally and abroad, focusing particularly on sales of two items: the 'K2V', which went on sale this spring in Australia following its North American debut; and the Linked Progressive jackpot system, which connects gaming machines and enhances the added value of their content. Also, at the Global Gaming Expo 2006 held in Las Vegas in November 2006 - the world's biggest gaming show - Konami unveiled its new '27 Ways' mechanical reel slot machine (the type that dominates the North American market), as well as the 'ScatteReel' video slot machine. Our extensive lineup of machines with the popular built-in progressive jackpot also generated much excitement. As a result, our Gaming & System segment recorded consolidated net revenues of Y4,129 million (a 26.2% increase compared to the same period in the previous year), during the current quarter and Y11,847 million (a 48.1% increase compared to the same period in the previous year), for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. 2. Cash Flows Cash flow summary for the nine months ended December 31, 2006: Millions of Yen Nine months ended Nine months ended Year ended December 31, 2005 December 31, 2006 March 31, 2006 Net cash provided by operating activities Y6,831 Y15,471 Y23,879 Net cash provided by (used in) investing 6,317 (9,536) (7,266) activities Net cash used in financing activities (29,013) (31,966) (38,330) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 1,046 1,082 828 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents (14,819) (24,949) (20,889) Cash and cash equivalents, end of the period 74,764 43,745 68,694 Cash and cash equivalents (hereafter referred as 'Net cash') as of December 31, 2006, amounted to Y43,745 million, a decrease of Y24,949 million compared to Net cash as of March 31, 2006. Cash flow summary for each activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 is as follows: Cash flows from operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 amounted to Y15,471 million, a 126.5% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This mainly results from the fact that, despite the decrease in net income and increase in trade notes and account receivable, consolidated net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 included gain on sale of shares of an affiliated company, which do not effect cash flow from operating activities, and that there were increases in Net cash in connection with accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash flows from investing activities: Net cash used in investing activities amounted to Y9,536 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 (cash provided in the same period in the previous year was Y6,317 million). This was primarily due to proceeds from sales of shares of an affiliated company which was included in the same period in the previous year, decrease in proceeds from sales of property and equipment compared to the same period in the previous year and increased capital expenditures. Cash flows from financing activities: Net cash used in financing activities amounted to Y31,966 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 (a 10.2% increase compared to the same period in the previous year).
