1. Business Review for the First Quarter Ended June 30, 2002
Overview
Within the entertainment industry in which we operate, as for home video game hardware, the Sony
PlayStation 2 achieved strong sales and the Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox also sold well in
this first quarter.
As for home video game software, soccer games made very favorable sales.
In this environment, consolidated net revenue for the first quarter ended June 30, 2002 totaled Y
50,059 million, up 32.7% compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, due primarily to
the contribution made by sales of soccer games of the Consumer Software segment, card games of the
Character Products segment and fitness club operations by the Health and Fitness segment.
Consolidated ordinary income increased by 49.8% to Y 4,485 million and consolidated net income also
increased by 20.9% to Y 844 million compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.

Consolidated Y37,723 Y50,059 132.7
Note: Each amount of the segments above include intersegment sales.
Consumer Software
In the domestic market, World Soccer Winning Eleven 6 for the PlayStation 2, the latest version of the
Winning Eleven series, was released in April 2002. At the end of June 2002, this title recorded strong
sales with more than one million copies shipped. Tennis no Oujisama: Genius Boy Academy for the Game
Boy Advance and Hikaru no Go: Heiangensoibunroku and Captain Tsubasa: Aratanaru Densetsu-Josho for the
PlayStation also made favorable sales.
As for the overseas market, Yu-Gi-Oh! achieved healthy sales in the U.S. International Superstar
Soccer 2 for the GameCube and Pro Evolution Soccer for the PlayStation 2 posted solid sales in Europe.
Consequently, consolidated revenue of the Consumer Software segment amounted to Y17,004 million, up
95.6% compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.
Character Products
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game Duel Monsters series continued to contribute to sales of the segment.
Especially in the U.S., the card game series enjoyed popularity due to synergistic effects generated
from other content featuring Yu-Gi-Oh!, such as a highly-rated TV animation program, which has been
broadcast since last year, and home video game software. Also in the domestic market, new titles of
the standard card game series made stable sales.
As for products other than card games, the electronic toy DigiQ of the Micro IR series, which has been
distributed through Takara Co., Ltd. since the previous years made solid sales. In terms of candy
toys, which are popular for their exquisite figures, SF Movie Selection: Thunderbird 1 recorded sales
of more than one million packs and established a dominant position in the candy toy market.
Consequently, consolidated revenue of the Character Products segment amounted to Y6,678 million, up
15.7% compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.
Amusement Contents
As for amusement arcade games, Mah-Jong Fight Club, the first e-Amusement title launched in the
previous year with the catch phrase of live communication and ubiquitous game, and music simulation
games such as the Popn Music series posted stable sales.
Sales of pachinko LCD units declined compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year
because the pachinko industry voluntarily refrained from installing new pachinko machines from the
beginning of May to the end of June, during which the World Cup Soccer tournament was held. However,
we plan to release distinctive LCD unit products after the second quarter of this year.
In terms of fitness-oriented games, we continued to work to expand sales of Dance Dance Revolution:
Famimat and Martialbeat, which were launched in the previous year. Additionally, a new type of
exercise product Bodyroop was released this April.
As a result, consolidated revenue of the Amusement Contents segment totaled Y3,215 million, down 52.8%
compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.
Gaming Contents
Since the previous year, we have enjoyed strong sales of the token-operated horse racing game machine
GI-Winning Sire, which offers live performance type entertainment, and the large-sized token-operated
game machine Fortune Orb with its exciting entertainment effects. Monster Gate II, the sequel to
Monster Gate, won popularity as a new genre of large-sized token-operated game machine and made solid
sales.
As for our overseas gaming business, we increased the number of our video slot machines installed as
well as our product line-up and made stable sales in various North America states such as Nevada,
Indiana and Michigan. In Australia, the combination of the stand-alone progressive system Wild Fire
and our existing gaming products have been well accepted by the market. With gaming licenses held in
all states of Australia, we had solid sales especially in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.
As a result, consolidated revenue of the Gaming Contents segment amounted to Y4,502 million, up 618.6%
compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.
Health and Fitness
We actively increased new club locations, including the acquisition of third parties existing club
businesses: 11 directly-operated clubs such as Moriguchi branch (Osaka prefecture), Nishi-funabashi
branch (Chiba prefecture) and Yamato-yagi branch (Nara prefecture), and 3 franchised clubs such as
Mihagino branch (Fukuoka prefecture). We made solid sales due to the addition of Daiei Olympic Sports
Club, Inc. (currently Konami Olympic Sports Club Corporation), which was acquired in February 2002, to
the consolidated results as well as the increase in the number of new club facilities mentioned above.
At the end of June, the number of the club facilities totaled 230 (197 directly operated clubs and 33
franchised clubs).
Consolidated revenue of the Health and Fitness segment totaled Y17,959 million, up 24.1% compared with
the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Other
Consolidated revenue of the Other segment amounted to Y699 million, down 48.0% compared with the
corresponding period of the previous year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Scope of Consolidation
(1) The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KONAMI CORPORATION
(the Company) and its 36 consolidated subsidiaries (See 1. Organizational Structure
of Konami Group, which shows major subsidiaries).
In the first quarter ended June 30, 2002, Konami Computer Entertainment School, Inc.
merged with Roppongi Monitoring Center, Inc. and changed its name to Konami School,
Inc.
In addition, Konami Amusement Operation, Inc. spun-off its amusement facility
operation business and established a new company named KAO Co., Ltd. as a
wholly-owned subsidiary. Konami Amusement Operation, Inc. then transferred all
shares in KAO Co., Ltd. to Amlead Co., Ltd.
(2) KCE Enterprise, Inc. is excluded from the scope of consolidation since each of its
total assets, net revenue, net income, and retained earnings is immaterial, and has
no significant effect as a whole on the consolidated financial statements.
2. Application of Equity Method
(1) Four affiliated companies, TAKARA CO., LTD., HUDSON SOFT CO., LTD., Genki Co.,
Ltd., and Mobile 21 Co., Ltd. are accounted for by the equity method.
(2) The equity method is not applied to one unconsolidated subsidiary because it has
no significant effect on the consolidated net income and retained earnings, and is
immaterial as a whole.
3. Fiscal Year-end of Consolidated Subsidiaries
The fiscal year-end for Konami Olympic Sports Club Corporation is September 30, 2002, which is different
from that of the Company. The fiscal year ending September 30, 2002 includes only seven months irregularly.
Therefore the pro forma financial statements as of June 30, 2002 are used for the consolidated financial
statements.
All other consolidated subsidiaries use the same balance sheet date as that of the Company.
4. Accounting Standards
a. Valuation of Assets
(1) Marketable and Investment Securities
Available-for-sale securities for which the market value is readily determinable are
stated at fair value as of the balance sheet date. Net unrealized gain or loss on
securities available-for-sale is reported as a separate component of shareholders
equity.
The cost of securities sold is determined primarily by the moving average method.
gAvailable-for-sale securitiesh for which the market value is not readily
determinable are stated at cost based on the moving average method.
(2) Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value.
(3) Inventories
Inventories other than merchandise and work in process are stated at cost determined
by the moving average method.
Merchandise is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined mainly
by the first-in, first-out method.
Work in process consisting of hardware products is stated at cost determined by the
moving average method while work in process consisting of software products is
stated at cost determined by the specific identification method.
