                  For the six months ended September 30, 2006

Konami Corporation hereby announces the forecast of our results for the six
months ended September 30, 2006.

1. Forecast of Consolidated Results for the six months ended September 30, 2006 

                                                                                 (Millions of yen)

Forecast of Results for the six

(2005/4 - 9)                              111,870             7,462         14,335          6,964

We forecast our income before income taxes and net income for the six months
ended September 30, 2006 will decrease from the previous year due to
approximately Y6.9 billion of gain on sales of entire shares of TAKARA Co., LTD
reported in the previous same period.  However, we forecast our consolidated
operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2006 will increase by
35.4%, to Y10,100 million due primary to the increase in membership and the
improvement of revenue structure in the Health & Fitness Segment as well as
solid sales of slot machines and Konami Casino management systems for North
America in the Gaming & System Segment.


Meanwhile we are not revising our forecast of consolidated financial results for
the year ended March 31, 2007 from that announced in the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2006 filed on May 17, 2006.
