(1) Review of operations
Japanese economy in this year has been solid, supported by brisk private
consumption as well as continuous increasing trend of corporate profits led by
the strong export sector. The economy, however, gradually slowed down due to
global credit shrinkage which has risen from the subprime loan crisis in the US,
soaring energy and raw material prices, and decelerating trend of private
consumption.
Under these circumstances, the electronic components/semiconductor sector has
decelerated; particularly after the new year, inventory adjustments in Asian
markets and yen's sharp appreciation brought about intense competition among
companies, resulting a drop of product prices.
Our consolidated net sales in this year were 20,635 million yen, down 2.0%
compared to last year.
Operating income in this year was 1,576 million yen, a decrease of 18.1% from
last year, influenced by the increase of fixed expenses including depreciation
costs, falling product prices, and expenses for the transfer of manufacturing
equipment. Net income in this year decreased 17.5% from last year to 1,100
million yen due to a loss on disposal of fixed assets of 237 million yen, and a
loss on dissolution of a subsidiary of 96 million yen.

Ceramic Components segment
Total sales of the Ceramic Component segment were 18,479 million yen, up 0.8%,
and operating income was 2,092 million yen, down 18.8% from last year,
influenced by the increase of depreciation costs and other expenses mainly for
the reorganization of manufacturing equipment of our overseas manufacturing
subsidiaries.
Circuit Ceramics
The Circuit Ceramics division includes ceramic substrates for chip resistors
which are essential for a wide range of electronic appliances, glazed substrates
for thermal printer head (TPH) used for FAX or bar code label printers, large
ceramic substrates for hybrid ICs, and Aluminum Nitride (AlN) substrates used
for power modules and automotive components.
Total sales of this division were 7,169 million yen, down 5.7% compared to last
year, reflected a decline in demand for information communication devices such
as PCs and mobile phones, and industrial equipment.
As for our ceramic substrates for chip resistors, sales decreased since demand
sharply fell down in Asia from early this term. Decreasing demand for glazed
substrates and large ceramic substrates, which had been solid in the previous
term, was another factor for the downturn in sales.
Machinery Ceramics
The Machinery Ceramics division includes quarts glass products especially for
semiconductor equipment, ceramic faucet valves, and ferrite magnet materials
used for measuring equipment or medical purposes. Products in this division
require high precision processing techniques.
Total sales of this division increased 3.1% to 5,099 million yen from the
previous year due mainly to that the ferrite magnet products, which were
acquired in last year, posted sales throughout the year even though a
semiconductor equipment-related market has slowed down since the second half of
this year.
Radio Frequency Products
The Radio Frequency Products division includes device products such as band pass
filters used for wireless communication industries, dielectric ceramic filters
required in mobile communication industries, thin film substrates used for
optical information/communication industries, and multi-layer ceramic substrates
for automotive components.
Total sales of this division in this year were 1,922 million yen, up 17.6%
compared to last year by including sales of multi-layer ceramic substrates from
this year, and enjoying the market expansion of thin film substrates for optical
communication.
EMC Components
The EMC Components division includes multi-layer ceramic capacitors of
high-voltage/high-capacitance especially used for digital cameras, LCD
backlights, or power supply parts of electronic devices, and a product line as a
countermeasure against noise/surge, including EMI filters, chip varistors, chip
beads and inductors. There are increasing demands for such components for
various electronic appliances such as communication tools, including mobile
phones and PCs, digital home appliances, amusement equipment or automotive
electronic devices.
Total sales of this division in this year were 4,289 million yen, up 3.2%
compared to the previous year.
The sales of EMI filters grew thanks to demand for flat screen TVs-related uses.
Lighting Equipment segment
This segment includes lighting equipment for public works such as roads and
bridges, and most of sales are particularly posted in the end of a fiscal year
while expenses exceed sales until then.
Total sales of this segment in this year decreased 20.8% to 2,156 million yen
from last year, and operating loss was 6 million yen.
Although sales of lighting equipment for public works significantly dropped,
operating loss was lower than the previous results due to increasing sales of
our new LED lightings.

Total 20,635 20,650 0.1%
There is concern about demand trends for digital/IT related products as a global
economic slowdown is now prevailing. Due to the uncertain market environment,
we have a tight outlook for sales growth; however, we expect a profit increase
based on this year's reorganization of manufacturing equipment in the business
acquired through M&A in the past to reinforce our business foundation.
For the Circuit Ceramic division, we forecast a revenue increase by expanding
production capacity for Alumina substrates and enhancing product lineups of
Aluminum Nitride substrates. According to these measures, forecast total sales
of this division for next term are 7,980 million yen, up 11.3% compared to the
current year.
As for the Machinery Ceramics division, demand for our core products, quartz
glass products, is expected to decline in the semiconductor equipment-related
industry; forecast total sales of this division for next year are 4,610 million
yen, down 9.6% from this year.
In the Radio Frequency Products division, the sales of multi-layer substrates
for automotive components are expected to grow. Therefore, total sales of this
division are expected to increase by 7.2% to 2,060 million yen from this year.
The EMC Components division is expected to decrease its sales by 5.6% to 4,050
million yen compared to this term because of concern for declining demand of
components for digital/IT-related products.
In the Lighting Equipment segment, sales are expected to significantly increase
with our sales enhancement as we shift our business model to the LED lightings
area despite decreasing sales in other lighting equipment for public works.
According to this outlook, forecast total sales in this segment are 1,950
million yen, down 9.6% from this year. Operating income is expected to improve
due to a sales increase in new LED lightings.
According to the above, forecast net sales are 20,650 million yen, up 0.1% from
last year, forecast operating income is 1,760 million yen, up 11.7%, and
forecast net income is 1,140 million yen, up 3.6% million yen. Forecast net
income includes an expected loss on disposal of fixed assets of 120 million yen.
*Cautionary statements: the above forecasts are based on the present business
environment and currently-available information, and include forward-looking
statements involving risks and uncertainties. The reader is cautioned not to
place reliance entirely on the above forecasts for making investment decisions.
Due to a number of factors such as future economic situations and market
environment changes, actual results may differ significantly from these

Total assets at the end of this year were 32,850 million yen, a decrease of
1,022 million yen from the last year-end as a result of operating activities in
this year. It is due to a decrease of current assets by 924 million yen,
including trade notes and accounts receivable. Fixed assets decreased by 98
million yen as investments decreased according to a decrease in stocks of
consolidated subsidiaries due to new consolidation, despite an increase of net
property, plant and equipment with capital expenditure.
Liabilities were 5,076 million yen, down 889 million yen compared to the last
year-end due particularly to a decrease of trade notes and accounts payable.
Total net assets decreased 133 million yen due to a decrease in foreign currency
translation adjustment, in spite of a increase in retained earnings.
As a result, equity ratio was 84.5 %, up 2.1 points from the last year-end.
Net cash provided from operating activities was 2,590 million yen, an increase
of 1,168 million yen compared to last year especially because of a decrease of
trade notes and accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased 1,108 million yen to 1,921
million yen from last year mainly because proceeds from withdrawal of time
deposits were greater than net increase in payments for purchase of property,
plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was 416 million yen, down 284 million yen
compared to last year, mainly used for purchase of own shares, 107 million yen,
and dividends paid by the parent company, 259 million yen.
As a result, cash and cash equivalents at the end of this year were 6,146
million yen, an increase of 207 million yen from last year.

3. Dividend policy and dividend of this year and next year
MARUWA considers allocating acquired cash flows from business operations for
active investment into new growing fields, dividends calculated through
comprehensive analysis of consolidated business results, and saving for internal
reserves to control flexibly changes in a business environment. While we secure
internal reserves for strategic investment necessary for sustainable expansion
of our core business, we focus on profit returns to our shareholders.
Dividend for next year will be 28 yen per share, up 4 yen from this year
(interim: 14 yen, year-end: 14yen).
