2. Management Policy
1. Management Policy
Our management policy places priority on our shareholders, sound relationships with all stakeholders, including
shareholders, and a wide range of social contributions as a good corporate citizen. We aim to make optimum use of
our group's management resources, taking into account the three keywords of our management policy: ''Adaptation to
Global Standards'', ''Maintaining Fair Competition'' and ''Pursuit of High Profits''.
In order to maximize our shareholders' values, we strive to continuously increase and improve our market
capitalization and provide stable dividends as a means to return profits to shareholders. Retained earnings will
be used for investment focused on business fields with good future prospects and profitability to increase our
corporate value and source for dividends.
We are working on maintaining sound relationships with our stakeholders, including investors, end-users,
suppliers, employees and the community in general, as well as contributing to the society by supporting a wide
range of activities that promote education, sports and culture. In January 2004, we entered into an agreement of
Japanese Olympic Committee ''JOC'' official partnership with JOC. As the Olympic Games were held this year, we
supported athletes by offering our Konami Sports Club facilities to athletes nominated by JOC and the Japanese
national team for the Athens Olympics.
Pursuant to this basic management policy, we aim to create ''High Quality Life'' full of ''dream'' ''surprise''
and ''fascination'' in everyday life of people all over the world by offering entertainment and health products
and services with universal appeal.
2. Profit Appropriation Policy
We consider stable cash dividends and an increase in corporate value as important means for returning our profits
to shareholders. Retained earnings will be used for investment focused on business fields with good future
prospects and profitability to strengthen our growth potential and competitiveness.
3. Medium to Long-term Strategies and Objectives
Establishment of Strong Business Portfolio
We believe that competition among entertainment companies will be intensified, thus an innovative and diversified
corporate strategy and further reinforcement of the corporate structure supporting such strategy are inevitable
for the continuous growth of an entertainment company. Starting from the Amusement business, we have been
expanding our businesses to include such ''hit-businesses'' as Computer & Video Games business, Toy & Hobby
business and Gaming business in entertainment industries for many years. In recent years, we have been making an
effort to enhance the Health & Fitness business as a new business. Since the Health & Fitness business is getting
on the track, we are establishing a solid business portfolio with good profit balance by adding a ''stable profit
business'' to traditional ''hit businesses''.
With a view to broadening profit, we will put strong emphasis on the online business which is expanding on a
global basis.
Strengthening Our Corporate Structure by Enhancing Our Brand Value, Production, Marketing and Financial Resources
To enhance our brand value, from April 2003 we have developed a new logo as the symbol for our new branding
initiative that we are promoting under the tagline from ''Time Consumption'' to ''Valuable Time Creation''. Our
goal is to promote high quality life full of surprise and fascination for our stakeholders.
Strengthening our corporate structure is essential in setting the groundwork for our future growth. We continue to
strengthen our corporate structure in a variety of ways, such as enhancing our production, marketing and financial
resources, building a stronger group management system and establishing a fair and timely disclosure system.
4. Corporate Governance Development
It is necessary for us to develop a strong corporate governance in order to maintain and develop our basic
management policy of placing priority on our shareholders, sound relationship with all stakeholders including
shareholders, and a wide range of social contributions as a good corporate citizen.
The first and most important agenda in our corporate governance development program is the reform of the board of
directors. We employed an outside corporate officer in May 1992 and introduced an executive officer system in June
1999. In June 2001, we reduced the size of our board of directors to nine directors, four of which were from
outside. We now have eight directors, three of which are from outside. We endeavored to accelerate the managerial
decision-making process, separate oversight and executive functions, strengthen the managerial monitoring system,
revitalize the board of directors, and pursue management transparency. The directors from outside are independent
from us.
We are working to implement and activate committees in response to the changing environment in which we operate.
We established Risk Management Committee in April 2000 in order to enhance our ability to prevent and respond
quickly to internal and external risks. We established Compliance Committee in September 2001 to reinforce our
entire system for monitoring and encouraging compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. We
established Disclosure Committee in April 2003 in the wake of listing our stock on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Disclosure Committee is working on the establishment of inner management system and development of group
company reporting procedures that facilitates timely and accurate disclosure.
We also established Konami Group Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Konami Group Officers and Employees
Conduct Guideline in order to integrate direction and improve its standard at all group levels.
3. Business Performance and Cash Flows
1. Business Performance
Overview
In this interim consolidated accounting period, Japanese economy has been in recovery trend resulting from the
recovery of corporate performance with strong export, the growth of capital investment and the gradual increase
in individual consumption. Also the world economy has been in restoration as the U.S. economy and Chinese
economy continue to grow.
In the entertainment industry in which we operated, sales of software continued steadily in the global home
video game market. Both Nintendo and SONY will introduce a new mobile style game machine in the second half of
this year and are expected to vitalize the market.
In the health industry, with the arrival of graying society, there was a health conscious trend and especially
the middle-aged and senior groups seemed to have increased concern about exercise. We can develop the market in
the future as the proportion of people participating in sports clubs is still low in Japan compared with the U.S
and Europe.
In these circumstances, in the Computer & Video Games segments, sales of WORLD SOCCER WINNING ELEVEN 8 for
PlayStation2, a popular soccer game, achieved one million copies at the same time of its release in August 2004
and the WINNING ELEVEN series thereby recorded a million-sales for the recent three consecutive years. At TOKYO
GAME SHOW 2004 held in September 2004, our products such as METAL GEAR SOLID 3 SNAKE EATER, the latest title of
the METAL GEAR series, attracted enormous attention from many guests.
The Toy & Hobby segment maintained its solid sales of the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game in the U.S. and Europe. We
held Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament in Los Angeles in the U.S. in July 2004 and the finalists who won
the preliminary hard matches among 10 million people played exciting game match aiming at the position as the
world number one.
In the Amusement segment, e-AMUSEMENT products such as BATTLE CLIMAXX!, the first online professional wrestling
battle video game machine in the industry and MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB3, generated solid achievement.
In the Gaming segment, the business started to grow rapidly in North America by acquisition of gaming license
and diversifying its product line-up. In Australia, we exhibited many of our latest products at Australasian
Gaming Expo 2004 which is the biggest gaming show in Australia.
In the Health & Fitness segment, we installed AED, Automated External Defibrillator, in all Konami Sports Clubs
for safety improvement for our customers offering high quality services continuously. We also released
Refreshmentbike, a home use fitness machine, and FLAVANGENOL UP50, our original supplement, and made a proposal
to sustain healthy condition at various life scenes.
As a result, consolidated net revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2004, amounted to Y 114,009
million, and consolidated operating income, consolidated net income before income taxes and consolidated net
income were Y 11,851 million, Y 11,586 million and Y 1,626 million, respectively.
The interim dividend payout is Y 27 per share.

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 also introduced a new product of 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

atmosphere of last-minute game with throwing dice and offers them unique experience which they have never had,

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 contributed to favorable performance.
As a result, consolidated net revenue of the Amusement segment for the six months ended September 30, 2004 was Y
18,992 million (119.0 % of consolidated revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2003).

Although Australian market leveled off, we secured our sales with export of video slot machines. As to the status of
the acquisition of gaming licenses, we have obtained licenses in the total of 25 states, of which 20 states in the

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim non-consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Marketable and Investment Securities
Investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies and other securities for which the market value is
not readily determinable are stated at cost based on the moving average method.
Other securities for which the market value is determinable are stated at market value as of the balance
sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses on those securities are reported in the stockholders' equity and
the cost of securities sold is determined by the moving average method.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are stated at market value.
3. Inventories
Inventories other than work in process are stated at cost determined by the moving average 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.
4. Depreciation Methods
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the declining balance method while intangible fixed assets
are amortized mainly using the straight-line method. For in-house software, amortization is computed
using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of 5 years.
5. Provisions
(a) Allowance for doubtful accounts
Generally, allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on the actual ratio of
bad debt losses incurred. For specific accounts with higher possibility of bad debt
loss, the allowance is determined by independent judgment.
(b) Allowance for employees' retirement benefits (Prepaid pension expense)
Allowance for retirement benefits to be paid to employees as of balance sheet date is
calculated based on the estimated amount of the projected benefit obligation and the
plan assets at the fiscal year-end. Unrecognized net transition asset or obligation is
amortized over 13 years.
Unrecognized actuarial net gain or loss will be amortized from the following fiscal
year within the average remaining service period of 13 years on a straight-line basis.
(c) Allowance for directors' retirement benefits
Required amount for retirement benefits to be paid to directors as of balance sheet
date is reserved as liability.
(d) Allowance for loss incurred by subsidiaries
Allowance for loss incurred by subsidiaries is provided at the amount determined based
on its financial condition.
6. Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the current
exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and the translation gains and losses are credited or
charged to income.
7. Leases
Finance leases other than those that deem to transfer ownership of the leased property to the lessee
are accounted for as operating lease transactions.
8. Other significant matters
(a) Consumption Tax
Consumption tax is excluded from the stated amount of revenue and expenses.
(b) Income Taxes
Current and deferred income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2003 are calculated on the
assumption of the reversal of reserve for advanced depreciation in appropriations of retained
earnings planned at the fiscal year-end.
