(1) Review of operations
Japanese economy in this year moved steadily in spite of slow growth in
private consumption, supported by a revenue increase in the corporate business
sector in a continuing business sentiment improvement trend and increases in
capital expenditures. The global economy continued to expand in general,
showing high growth of Chinese economy and underlying strength of the U.S.
economy for which slowdown had been concerned.
Under these circumstances, MARUWA's business situation in this fiscal year
generally moved favorably, influenced by a positive production increase trend in
IT related industries while raw materials prices sharply increased and product
price competition was severe.
Therefore, consolidated net sales of this fiscal year were 21,062 million yen,
up 3.9% compared to the previous fiscal year.
As for profits, operating income increased 13.6% to 1,924 million yen compared
to the previous fiscal year. This increase was due to a revenue increase in
Circuit Ceramics division and the contribution of Machinery Ceramics division
which was enhanced in a profitable structure throughout the last year, while
there was the burden of expenses for the reorganization of manufacturing
equipment. Net income was 1,334 million yen, up 17.5% compared to the last
fiscal year.

Circuit Ceramics
Circuit Ceramics include ceramic substrates for chip resistors which are
essential for a wide range of electronic appliances, glazed ceramic substrates
for thermal printer head (TPH) for FAX or barcode label printers, large ceramic
substrates for hybrid ICs, and Aluminum Nitride (AlN) for power modules and
automobiles.
Total sales of this division were 7,603 million yen, up 19.8% compared to the
previous year, reflected solid orders in information communication devices such
as digital home appliances and PCs and industrial machineries markets.
Ceramic substrates for chip resistors continuously enjoyed high demands,
gradually showing positive effects from preparation for a production increase.
Also, a sharp increase of demand for large substrates for power modules and
Aluminum Nitride substrates contributed to the increase in revenue.
Machinery Ceramics
Machinery Ceramics include quarts glass products mainly for semiconductor
equipment, magnetic head-supporting blocks for PCs, and ceramic facet valves.
The products in this division require high precision process techniques.
In this division, quartz glass products saw a sales increase due to favorable
orders for semiconductor equipment-related; on the other hand, sales of some
products for which demand comes to an end decreased. Therefore, total sales in
this year were 4,946 million yen, up 11.3% compared to the last year.
Radio Frequency Products
Radio Frequency Products include device products such as band pass filters for
wireless communication appliances such as mobile phones and base stations,
dielectric ceramics for filters used in mobile communications, and thin film
substrates for optical information and communications.
Total sales of this division were 1,635 million yen, up 2.9% compared to the
last term.
Sales of dielectric ceramics and device products increased thanks to products
for base stations and wireless communications for commercial-use. Thin-film
products were affected from inventory adjustments by customers.
EMC Components
EMC Components include multi-layer ceramic capacitors of high-voltage/
high-capacitance mainly for digital cameras, LCD backlights, and power supply of
electronic devices, and components as a countermeasure against noise/surge,
including EMI filters, chip varistors, chip beads, and inductors. Such
components against noise/surge are expected to be more required in the future
for various electronic appliances such as information communication tools
including mobile phones and PCs, digital home appliances, amusement equipment,
and automotive electronics.
Total sales were 4,157million yen, down 2.2% compared to the previous fiscal
year.
EMI filters and chip varistors increased in sales, but a part of lineups were
influenced by inventory adjustments at customers.
Lighting Equipment
This segment includes lighting equipment for public works such as roads and
bridges, and sales tend to be largely concentrated in the end of a fiscal term,
and expenses exceed sales until then.
Total sales in this year were 2,721 million yen, a decrease of 25.5%, and
operating loss was 73 million yen.
Although this segment has focused on the sales of LED lighting since this
year, other lighting equipment decreased both sales and income due to the
shrinking of public construction and severe price competition.

Operating income 1,924 2,400 476 24.7%
Net income 1,334 1,560 226 16.9%
Ceramic Components segment is expected to have a good demand due to high
performance and further multi-functions of electronics and demand expansion in
newly developing countries.
Circuit Ceramics division had invested in plant and equipment to adapt to high
demand for Alumina substrates, and positive effect from production increase is
expected. Aluminum Nitride substrates will also reorganize the production
system, aiming for share growth in the market. Total sales of Circuit Ceramics
in next fiscal year, therefore, are expected to increase 9.5% to 8,325 million
yen compared to this fiscal year.
In Machinery Ceramics division, some products are coming to an end, decreasing
sales continuously; however, solid demand is expected for quartz glass products.
Total sales of Machinery Ceramics in next year is expected to increase 10.0%
to 5,440 million yen from this year.
For Radio Frequency Products, it is expected that products for communication
devices and multi-layer substrates for automobiles will contribute to revenue
increase, forecast total sales increase of 29.1% to 2,110 million yen in next
term.
For EMC Components, demand is expected to expand for digital home appliances
and automotive electronics as growth is expected for our components including
EMI filters and inductors. The forecast total sales of EMC Components in next
year are 5,225 million yen, up 25.7% from this year.
In Lighting Equipment segment, it is expected that sales of non-LED lighting
will significantly drop due to budget cuts for public works and price
competition following this year. MARUWA aims to accelerate the shift of a
business model to private sector by providing our management resources into the
R&D and marketing of LED lighting. Totals sales forecast of this segment for
the next fiscal term is 1,500 million yen, down 44.9% from this term.
According to the above, forecast net sales for next year are 22,600 million
yen, up 7.3%, operating income 2,400 million yen, up 24.7%, and net income 1,560
million yen, up 16.9% from this year.
In addition, forecast net income includes the loss of 240 million yen on
disposal of facilities.
*Cautionary statements: the above forecasts are based on the present business
environment and currently-available information, and include forward-looking
statements involving risks and uncertainties. The reader is cautioned not to
place reliance entirely on the above forecasts for making investment decisions.
Due to a number of factors such as future economic situations and market
environment changes, actual results may differ significantly from these

Depreciation 1,481 1,614 1,740 126 7.8%
Total assets at the end of this fiscal year were 33,872 million yen, an
increase of 828 million yen from the end of last fiscal year as a result of
operating activities through this year. Inventories increased 690 million yen,
and net property, plant and equipment increased 639 million yen due to an
increase of machineries with capital expenditures compared to last year end,
respectively.
Total liabilities decreased 522 million yen to 5,965 million yen from the last
year end due mainly to a decrease of accrued pension and severance costs.
Shareholders' equity increased 1,350 million yen with an increase of retained
earnings.
As a result, shareholders' equity ratio at the end of this year was 82.4%, up
2.0 points from the previous year end.
Net cash provided from operating activities was 1,422 million yen, down 614
million yen compared to the previous year due mainly to 557 million yen of
increase in notes and accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled 3,029 million yen, up 1,795
million yen compared to the previous year, due especially to capital
expenditures to prepare for an increase of Ceramic Components production and
2,285 million yen in payment for purchase of net property, plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was 700 million yen, increasing 751
million yen from the last year particularly because of 328 million yen of
purchase of treasury stock and 263 million yen of dividends payment.
Consequently, cash and cash equivalents at the end of this year were 5,939
million yen, a decrease of 1,960 million yen from the previous year end since
the sum of net cash used in investing and financing activities were larger than
net cash provided in operating activities.
