2. Business Performance and Cash Flows
1. Business Performance
(1) Overview
The entertainment industry in which we operate enjoyed a booming market in the third quarter of the current fiscal year
especially as to year-end sales with the release of new-style portable game consoles by Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Sony
Computer Entertainment Inc. In the health industry, demand continued to be strong with increased interests in sports
due to the outstanding performances by Japanese athletes at the Olympics Games in Athens this summer.
In the Computer & Video Games segment, the long-awaited releases of the blockbuster METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER both
in Japan and the U.S. generated favorable sales. Our newly released software titles for the latest generations of
new-style portable game consoles included MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB, etc. for the PSP from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
and THE PRINCE OF TENNIS 2005 CRYSTALDRIVE for the Nintendo DS from Nintendo Co., Ltd.
In the Toy & Hobby segment, sales of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game remained strong in the U.S. and Europe. We also
launched NEKKETSU PAWAPUROCHAMP, the latest title in the new virtual game PLAY-POEMS series, during the year-end sales.
In the Amusement segment, the cumulative number of subscribers to our online arcade game service exceeded three
million. Our amusement games continued to enjoy high popularity, especially MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB3.
In the Gaming segment, we achieved steady growth by expanding sales areas through the acquisition of gaming licenses
and enhancing product lineups. We are also constructing a new facility to keep in pace with expected increase in sales
in the future.
In the Health & Fitness segment, a large number of our sports club members participated in the HONOLULU MARATHON 2004,
an event co-sponsored by Konami Sports Corporation. We announced the opening of a new Konami Sports outlet in Okinawa
as part of our ongoing effort to expand our nationwide network of facilities.
As a result of the foregoing, our consolidated net revenues were Y81,494 million for the three months ended December
31, 2004 (99.0% of consolidated net revenues for the same period of the previous year) and Y195,503 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 2004 (92.1% of consolidated net revenues for the same period of the previous year).
Consolidated operating income stood at Y16,037 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 (120.4% of
consolidated operating income for the same period of the previous year) and Y27,888 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 2004 (79.6% of consolidated operating income for the same period of the previous year). Consolidated net
income stood at Y8,389 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 (104.3% of consolidated net income for the
same period of the previous year) and Y10,015 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 (53.0% of
consolidated net income in the same period of the previous year).

production subsidiaries, Konami Computer Entertainment Studios, Inc., Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, Inc., and
Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, Inc. effective April 1, 2005 was resolved. Also, by simultaneously merging with

and production know-how, which separated so far among three production companies, and will be concentrating our
managerial resources on online game business, an area expected to grow in the future.

In the Computer & Video Games segment, we released a new title for the METAL GEAR series, METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE
EATER, in North America in November 2004 and in Japan in December. The series achieved cumulative sales of 14.6 million
units. The METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER is receiving high reviews in various media and the unit sales are growing
steadily. In Europe, Pro Evolution Soccer 4, the latest title in the popular Pro Evolution Soccer series, tallied a
million sales with its release in October release. The Pro Evolution Soccer series (named the WINNING ELEVEN series in
the Japanese market) achieved million-sales for three consecutive terms in Japan and Europe, respectively. In North
America, our new original title RUMBLE ROSES received favorable reviews after its release in November.
As a result, consolidated net revenues of the Computer & Video Games segment were Y40,496 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2004 and Y73,161 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
In the Toy & Hobby segment, we are strengthening our product lineup with a focus on toys for boys. In line
with a new TV series which started in October 2004, we introduced THE JUSTIRISERS toys series, a follow-up
to the GRANSAZERS series released earlier. The release of PLAY-POEMS, in November 2004, a new type of
virtual game featuring high-performance semiconductor chips POEMS installed on-board, attests to our
ongoing efforts to expand new markets. We also achieved steady sales for the globally marketed Yu-Gi-Oh!
card game with new releases launched in Japan, the U.S., and Europe.
As a result, consolidated net revenues of the Toy & Hobby segment were at Y12,818 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2004 and Y30,815 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
In the Amusement segment, we received favorable reviews for new titles in our e-AMUSEMENT lineups of video games for
amusement arcades, most notably QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY II, the latest version of quiz battle that allows players to
compete intellectually with others nationwide via an on-line connection and the MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB series. Sales of
music game series such as pop'n music 12 also remained strong. Among token-operated products, WingFantasia, a new
product based on the concept of ' snakes-and-ladders,' with party-game-like fun which was not enjoyed by
coin-operated machines before, expanded sales. Sales of GI-TURFWILD2, a token-operated horse racing game with a more
advanced ' virtuality' and game features than GI-WINNING-SIRE, also growing steadily.
As a result, consolidated net revenues of the Amusement segment were Y6,168 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 and Y25,160 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
In the Gaming segment, we operate mainly in North America and Australia. In North America, we continued to mark
solid sales, mainly in Nevada, California, Michigan and Wisconsin, with robust demand for video slot machines, our
main product, and the Advantage Series, a mechanical slot machine product newly introduced during the previous
fiscal year.
Although the Australian market leveled off, we had steady sales of our video slot machine products such as Show
Queen. We are also aggressively developing sales in other overseas market, as well. We currently hold gaming
licenses in 25 states in North America (20 states in the United States, 4 states in Canada, and 1 Commonwealth of
the United States). During the third quarter, we also commenced sales activities in several U.S. states in which we
had no previous experience, and expanding our sales areas. We own gaming licenses in every state in Australia.
As a result, consolidated net revenues of the Gaming segment were Y2,763 million for the three months ended December
31, 2004 and Y8,661 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
In the Health & Fitness business, we expanded the Konami Sports Club network by consolidating two neighboring
facilities in Ogaki, Gifu Prefecture, into a new-style, large-scale facility in November 2004. In JUNIOR FUNK, the
dancing school in Undo-Jyuku (a sports school that promotes sound minds and sound bodies by enhancing the abilities of
children through sports), we recently introduced STAR TEAM, a superior class for students selected from among
applicants from the normal class to serve as a model for the children.
In the fitness products business, the EZ series, which utilize our knowledge in entertainment and network technologies,
were successively introduced into Konami Sports Club, and has won highly favorable reviews from the customers. We also
made efforts to increase sales of existing home-use products such as Refreshmentbike, a home use fitness machine
equipped with a function to generate highly concentrated oxygen and negative ions, Kenshin-Keikaku, a PC software
application to display and manage exercise data stored in the e-walkeylife, a pedometer with multi-functions,
FLAVANGENOL UP50 and FLAVANGENOL MSMPLUS, our original supplement products, and Diet Channel and MARTIALBEAT2 for
PlayStation2, a game application for fitness that emulates diet-related content.
As a result, consolidated net revenues of the Health & Fitness segment were Y19,909 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 and Y 59,687 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
