Japanese economy in the first half of this fiscal year has generally been solid
with an increasing trend of export powered by high economic growth in Asia and
demands in emerging countries. This brisk economy, however, weakened to some
extent since the uncertainty of the future economy prevailed as material prices
hovered at a high level and the U.S market decelerated due to adjustments in a
housing market.
Under these circumstances, in the IT-related markets, inventory adjustments
progressed in the beginning of this year. Demands are now in a moderate
recovering trend based on the global market expansion of flat panel TVs or PCs.
Our consolidated net sales in this first half were 9,837 million yen, up 0.8%
compared to the interim results of last year.
As for profits, operating income decreased 5.6% to 776 million yen, compared to
the first half of last year. The transfer and reorganization of production
equipment of the Machinery Ceramics division squeezed the profit. Net income
was 567 million yen, down 10.1% due mainly to 193 million yen of loss on
disposal of fixed assets.

Ceramic Components segment
Total sales of this segment in the first half of this year were 9,286 million
yen, down 5.0% compared to the first half of the previous year. Operating
income was 1,186 million yen, down 8.3%.
After the first quarter which had been inactive due to inventory adjustments in
markets, demands started to recover in the second quarter. Profits, however,
decreased due to transfer and reorganization of production equipment in the
Machinery Ceramics division to a manufacturing subsidiary in Malaysia
Circuit Ceramics
The Circuit Ceramics division includes ceramic substrates for chip resistors
which are essential for a wide range of electronic appliances, glazed substrates
for thermal printer head (TPH) used for FAX or bar code label printers, large
ceramic substrates for hybrid ICs, and Aluminum Nitride (AlN) substrates used
for power modules or automotive components.
Total sales of this division were 3,560 million yen, down 3.4% compared to the
same period last year because demands for glazed substrates and large ceramic
substrates, which had moved at a high level last year, decreased.
Machinery Ceramics
The Machinery Ceramics division includes quarts glass products especially for
semiconductor equipment, magnetic head-supporting blocks for PCs, ceramic faucet
valves, and ferrite magnet materials used for measuring equipment or medical
purposes. Products in this division require high precision processing
techniques.
Sales of quarts glass products increased; on the other hand, sales decreased
particularly for the product for which demand comes to an end in a market.
Total sales in this first half were 2,655 million yen, up 13.6% compared to the
same period last year.
Radio Frequency Products
The Radio Frequency Products division includes device products such as band pass
filters used mainly for wireless communication industries, dielectric ceramic
filters required in mobile communication industries, thin film substrates used
for optical information/communication industries, and multi-layer ceramic
substrates for automotive components.
Total sales of this division in the first half jumped 26.9% to 966 million yen
compared to the first half last year due mainly to that sales of multi-layer
ceramic substrates started to be added in this division since this year.
EMC Components
The EMC Components division includes multi-layer ceramic capacitors of
high-voltage/high-capacitance especially used for digital cameras, LCD
backlights, or power supply parts of electronic devices, and a product line as a
countermeasure against noise/surge, including EMI filters, chip varistors, chip
beads and inductors. There are increasing demands for such components for
various electronic appliances such as communication tools, including mobile
phones and PCs, digital home appliances, amusement equipment or automotive
electronic devices.
Total sales in this period were 2,105 million yen, up 2.2% compared to the same
period last year.
Some products, including EMI filters grew in Asia to increase revenues.
Lighting Equipment segment
This segment includes lighting equipment for public works such as roads and
bridges, and most of sales are particularly posted in the end of a fiscal year
as expenses exceed sales until then.
Total sales in this period decreased 40.1% to 551 million yen from the same
period last year, and operating loss was 131 million yen.
Although lighting equipment for public works significantly dropped, operating
loss increased only by 7 million yen due to our cost reduction efforts.

In this fiscal year, sales of the Ceramic Component segment recovered in the
second quarter from a slowdown in the first quarter influenced by inventory
adjustments from the last year-end. On the other hand, in the second half of
this year, sales growth will gradually slow down due to uncertainty in the
semiconductor-equipment market.
According to the above, net sales forecast is 21,280 million yen, 1.0% up from
the last year, operating income are 2,120 million yen, up 10.2%, and net income
are 1,400 million yen, up 4.9% million yen.

Total assets at the end of this interim period were 33,121 million yen, a
decrease of 751 million yen from the last year-end as a result of operating
activities in this period. It is mainly due to a decrease of trade notes and
accounts receivable particularly from MARUWA SHOMEI Co., Ltd. Inventories
increased 562 million yen, and net property, plant and equipment also increased
452 million yen due to an increase of machinery through investments.
Liabilities were 4,903 million yen, down 1,062 million yen compared to the last
year-end also due particularly to a decrease of trade notes and accounts payable
at MARUWA SHOMEI.
Total net assets increased 311 million yen due to net income and other factors,
in spite of a decrease due to dividend payment.
As a result, equity ratio was 85.2%, up 2.8 points from the last year-end.
Net cash provided from operating activities was 1,189 million yen, an increase
of 401 million yen compared to the last interim period especially because of a
decrease of trade notes and accounts receivable due to the improvement of trade
terms and conditions.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased 539 million yen to 886 million
yen from the same period last year as loans provided to subsidiaries decreased
while payments for purchase of property, plant and equipment increased.
Net cash used in financing activities was 265 million yen, down 80 million yen
compared to the interim period last year, mainly used for purchase of own
shares, 87 million yen, and dividends paid by the parent company, 130 million
yen.
As a result, cash and cash equivalents at the end of this interim period were
6,026 million yen, a decrease of 1,200 million yen from the same period last
year.

3. Dividend policy and dividend of this year
MARUWA considers allocating acquired cash flows from business operations for
active investment into new growing fields, dividends calculated through
comprehensive analysis of consolidated business results, and saving for internal
reserves to control flexibly changes in a business environment. While we secure
internal reserves for strategic investment necessary for sustainable expansion
of our core business, we focus on profit returns to our shareholders.
Dividend for this interim period will be 12 yen per share, the same amount as
the previous interim dividend, as announced in May.
