Business Performance and Cash Flows 1. Business Performance Overview In the entertainment industry in which we operate, new markets for home video games are being developed with the introduction of new-style portable game consoles by Nintendo and Sony. Demand is expected to rise in the future with the release of new generation fixed-type game consoles by Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. With the rapid aging of the population resulting from a decline in the birthrate, the market in the health industry is expanding in light of increasing health consciousness among middle-aged and senior groups. Under these circumstances, our business results expanded steadily for each segment during the three months ended June 30, 2005, in line with our plans. In the computer and video game business within the Digital Entertainment Business segment, sales of two video game software series grew steadily: ''Pro Evolution Soccer'' for the European markets and ''PROYAKYU SPIRITS 2'' a title which reproduces the expressions and movements of a baseball player through advanced computer graphics. We exhibited numerous titles for our next-generation consoles at ''E 3 2005'' (Electronic Entertainment Expo 2005), the world's largest electronic entertainment show held in the U.S. in May 2005, and received favorable reviews. In the toy & hobby business, sales continued to grow robustly for trading card games, represented by the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game-Duel Monsters,'' in Japan, the U.S. and Europe; the ''PLAY-POEMS'' series, a new genre of virtual game; and ''THE JUSTIRISER, '' a series of toys for boys. In particular, domestic sales of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! '' card games largely exceeded the sales for the same period of the previous year. In the amusement business, products utilizing ''e-AMUSEMENT'' services such as ''MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB, '' received particularly favorable comments. In the online business, we started distributing contents in China to respond to the growing markets. New markets were also expanded as ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE'' services were introduced simultaneously in Japan, the U.S. and Europe. In the gaming business, we steadily acquired market shares in the video slot machine category in the U.S. In addition, we completed our business foundation in North America by improving production capabilities through the launch of operations at our new factory in Las Vegas. In the Health and Fitness segment, we exhibited ''e-XAX'' our original next-generation health management system, at ''Health & Fitness Japan 2005,'' a health industry convention held in June 2005. The new system received wide acclaim. On April 1, 2005, we merged with our three home video game software production companies and two group companies in charge of our online, music and publication businesses. Later, on June 1, 2005, we completed a second merger with a subsidiary specialized in the planning/production/distribution of toys and upscale household goods. Through these mergers, we are building a system capable of adapting to changes in the environment of the entertainment industry. On April 25, 2005, we dissolved our equity relationship with TAKARA Co., Ltd., an equity-method affiliate. On April 27, 2005, we accepted a third party allotment of additional shares and acquired shares of HUDSON SOFT CO., LTD., thereby changing the game software producer from an equity-method affiliate to a consolidated subsidiary. As a result, consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005, amounted to Y 48,029 million, consolidated operating income was Y 3,074million, consolidated income before income taxes was Y 9,927million, and consolidated net income was Y 5,439million. Performance by business segment Summary of net revenues by business segment: Millions of Yen Three months Three months % of previous ended ended period June 30, 2004 June 30, 2005 Digital Entertainment Y23,885 Y 25,573 107.1 Gaming 3,270 2,683 82.0 Health & Fitness 19,210 19,662 102.4 Other, Corporate and Eliminations 956 111 11.6 Consolidated net revenues Y47,321 Y48,029 101.5 In the video game software business within the Digital Entertainment segment, sales of the PlayStation2 version of ''PROYAKYU SPIRITS 2'' expanded in the domestic market. Overseas, the ''Pro Evolution Soccer'' series for the European markets continued to sell at high volumes. The PlayStation2 version of ''ENTHUSIA PROFESSIONAL RACING'' and the PlayStation Portable version of ''METAL GEAR ACID'' also remained popular. In the toy & hobby business, sales of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' card game, series, with an established position as our global strategic product focusing on domestic, U.S., and European markets, to grow. Domestic sales, in particular, substantially exceeded the level of the previous year. As a follow-up to the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' card game series, we released card games drawn from the popular TV animation series ''MARHEAVEN'' and ''EYESHIELD21. '' Both new card games are achieving firm sales. In the amusement business, the ''MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB'' series products exploiting ''e-AMUSEMENT'' services for amusement arcades continued to sell steadily. As for token-operated products, ''GI-TURFWILD2'' a large-scale online horseracing game machine, and ''SAIKARANMAN,'' a single-token game machine with enhanced communication capabilities, received high reviews in the market. The full-fledged launch of the on-line game business, an area expected to grow in the future, started with the provision of on-line game battle services such as ''WORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven 8 LIVEWARE EVOLUTION'' released in March 2005 and the full-scale operation of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE'' commenced in April 2005. The business of delivering mobile contents both in Japan and on a global scale via major carriers progressed steadily as well. In the multimedia business, we released our ''Tokimeki Memorial 10th Anniversary'' CD bundled with a paper craft as a 10-year celebration product of the ''Tokimeki Memorial'' series. The new CD received favorable reviews. Further, we produced an original TV animation program, ''GOKUJO SEITOKAI'' and released derivative products such as music CDs, DVDs, and character goods. In the future we plan to develop further products combining products from each business and utilizing contents from various sectors of the Digital Entertainment segment. As a result, consolidated net revenue of the Digital Entertainment Business for the three months ended June 30, 2005 amounted to Y 25,573 million (107.1% of consolidated net revenue for the same period in the previous year). In the Gaming segment, with the completion of a new office and production facility in North America in June, we are working to further strengthen our business. We sold video slot machines, our leading product, in the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. states of Nevada, California, and Michigan. Mechanical slot machines marketed from December 2003 onward have also been recording steady sales. We are receiving steadily increasing orders for ''Forcise'' a highly profitable casino management system, and we expect the product to contribute further to our revenues. In Australia, where the gaming market is leveling off in general, machines featuring our link progressive jackpot system were well received and maintained sales level. Exports to European and Asian markets are increasing steadily as well. As a result, consolidated net revenue of the Gaming segment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 amounted to Y 2,683 million (82.0% of consolidated net revenue for the same period in the previous year). With regard to management of fitness clubs in the Health and Fitness segment, we expanded our network of Konami Sports Club facilities further and opened Konami Sports Club Honten Hachioji (Tokyo) in May 2005 and Konami Sports Club in Takamatsu (Kagawa prefecture) in June 2005. In the area of fitness products, we have introduced an original line of next-generation training machines with feature that provide entertainment and cater to individuals who want to stay fit while having fun and the ''e-XAX'' an IT health management system that links together the three scenes of customers' daily life, i.e., fitness clubs, home, and outside the home in our nationwide sports clubs. This product has been very well received by customers. We also made efforts to promote sales of existing products such as our original ''FLAVANGENOL'' and ''BIOMETRICS WATER'' supplements. In April 2005, we established Self Fitness Club Co., Ltd. with the aim of developing business under a new brand and developing a price-competitive fitness club that provides an unprecedented self-service style environment. As a result, consolidated net revenue of the Health & Fitness segment was Y 19,662 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 (102.4% of consolidated net revenue for the same period in the previous year).
