Business Performance and Cash Flows 1. Business Performance Overview In the entertainment industry in which we operate, the mobile and online game markets grew and expanded as a result of the enhancement of broadband. In the home video game market, both Nintendo and SONY introduced new style portable game consoles and are trying to develop a new market. In the health industry, a health conscious trend especially among the middle-aged and senior groups seemed to have encouraged consumption along with improved consumer confidence in Japan's economy. We performed well in most business segments for the three months ended June 30, 2004. In the Computer & Video Games segment, at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2004 held in May in the U.S., which is the biggest digital entertainment fair in the world, we presented many upcoming titles and received favorable feedback. The Toy & Hobby segment maintained its solid performance due to favorable sales of the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game in the U.S. and Europe and increased sales of a new product called the GRANSAZERS series, which was introduced in the fall 2003 as a boy's toy. We also participated in the planning and development of the Get Ride! AMDRIVER, a TV originated animation, which has been broadcasted on Japanese TV since April 2004, to start a big media-mix project. In the Amusement segment, we released BATTLE CLIMAXX!, the first online professional wrestling battle video game machine in the industry and GIGADRAKE, a token-operated product with a combination of a card game and a slot, and those e-AMUSEMENT products generated solid achievement. As for the Gaming segment, we recorded favorable sales in North America and Australia by enhancing our products line-up. In the Health & Fitness segment, we introduced our original fitness machines at the Health & Fitness Japan 2004, the industry's convention held in June 2004, and received favorable reviews. In addition, with advocating 'fun and healthy' as a concept of our business, we newly released Refreshmentbike, a home use fitness machine, and Kenshin-Keikaku, a PC software for improving living habits. In addition, we announced our participation in development and sales of supplements, and proposed new life style of 'sustaining health with fun' at every scene. As a result, the consolidated net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to Y47,321 million, the consolidated operating income was Y2,947 million, the consolidated income before income taxes, minority interest and equity in net loss of affiliated companies was Y2,870 million, and the consolidated net income was Y264 million.

In the Computer & Video Games segment, we recorded favorable domestic shipment for Professional Baseball Spirits 2004 and SILENT HILL 4 -The Room- for PlayStation 2, both of which were released in March 2004. As for overseas market, the Yu-Gi-Oh! series maintained its popularity. Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshelf of Destruction for Game Boy Advance and Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 for Game Boy Advance increased sales in North America and Europe, respectively. As a result, the consolidated net revenue of the Computer & Video Games segment was Y9,101 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (69.5% of the three months ended June 30, 2003). In the Toy & Hobby segment, we have been developing our business presence mainly in boy's toy field since last year. We paid our attention to the continuously growing animation market further to explore the boy's toy field, and we fully participated in a planning and development of the Get Ride! AMDRIVER, a TV originated animation, which has been broadcasted on Japanese TV since April 2004, with which we have started a big media-mix project by tying up with the multimedia. We will foster the content to the extent it generates the synergy effects among each segment of Konami group. We also introduced a new product for the GRANSAZERS series which we have been facilitating the commercialization in line with a TV program broadcasted since October 2003 and we increased sales as a result of this. In other categories, sales of the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game continued strong in the U.S. and Europe and the Yu-Gi-Oh! series achieved global expansion in Japan, the U.S. and Europe. As a result, the consolidated net revenue of the Toy & Hobby segment was Y7,110 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (42.7% of the three months ended June 30, 2003). In the Amusement segment, in the video game, e-AMUSEMENT products for amusement arcades, such as BATTLE CLIMAXX!, a professional wrestling trading card game and the MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB series, which allows online match-up among remote players nation-wide received favorable reviews. Music simulation game series, such as drummania, GUITARFREAKS and pop'n music, remained strong as a result of the development of the new versions and the e-AMUSEMENT system also pushed up the sales. In the token-operated products, GI-TURFWILD 2, a large scale token operated horse racing game, which makes players feel as though they are in the race track and has more advanced features than GI-WINNING SIRE, and GIGADRAKE, a new style battle game with a combination of card game and slot were continuously in a good demand. In addition, Fantasic Fever, penny-falls game machine which produces the fusion of sounds and lights, received favorable reviews. As a result, the consolidated net revenue of the Amusement segment was Y8,969 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (136.0% of the three months ended June 30, 2003). As for the Gaming segment, we continued to mark solid sales from our main products, including MARIACHI MADNESS and SOLSTICE GOLD in the North America market especially in Nevada and California, and Ontario in Canada. We introduced ADVANTAGE SERIES, a Mechanical Slot Machines product in December 2003 which increased our sales. Although Australian market leveled off, we secured our sales with our main products such as EGYPTAGON. As to the status of the acquisition of gaming licenses, we have obtained licenses in the total of 23 states, of which 18 states in the United States, four states in Canada and one dominion of the United States after we acquire a license in Saskatchewan in Canada in April 2004. We own gaming licenses in every state in Australia. As a result, the consolidated net revenue of the Gaming segment was Y3,270 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (128.6% of the three months ended 30, 2003). With regard to the Health & Fitness segment, in the business to operate sports club facilities, we opened the Fukuokatenjin branch in Fukuoka in April 2004 and the Oitaakino branch in Oita in May 2004 to expand the Konami Sports Club's facility networks. As to new products and services, we introduced a new corporate membership system which offers members a choice between pay-per use and pay-per month, and under which members' families at age 16 or over can use the facilities. As to the existing facilities, we have been introducing services such as massage, esthetic and clinic services for treatment in our exercise facilities gradually to improve customers' satisfaction. As to the fitness products business, for commercial use, we utilize our knowledge in entertainment business and our network technologies to promote expansion of our fitness machine products line-up such as the EZ series and introduced them into our exercise facilities and received highly favorable reviews from our members. As for home use, we entered into the market of home use fitness products and released Refreshmentbike, a home use fitness machine which features a function to generate the highly concentrated oxygen and negative ions, and Kenshin-Keikaku, a PC software to display and manage exercise data stored in e-walkeylife, a pedometer with multi-functions. And also we introduced Diet Channel for PlayStation 2, a game software which emulates contents concerning diet, and we also made efforts to increase sales of the existing products such as MARTIALBEAT2. As a result, the consolidated net revenue of the Health & Fitness segment was Y19,210 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 (101.2% of the three months ended June 30, 2003).
