New customers were developed on the strength of Konica
Minolta’s inkjet technology and proprietary ink technology used in printer heads and industrial printers such as textile printers.
The fiscal year ended March 2007 marked the second year of full-fledged operations for this business, and the business expanded
favorably during the year on active development of new customers. In addition, sales were strong for printer heads and other products
in the components segment.
As a result, consolidated net sales for the Industrial Inkjet business in the fiscal year ended March 2007 were ¥6.0 billion and
operating income reached ¥1.3 billion.

As the Group intends to completely exit the Photo Imaging
business by the end of September 2007, it continued working during the fiscal year ended March 2007 to wind down this
business in Japan and overseas.
In the photo-related business (color film and photographic paper), the number of products and volume produced was wound down in
stages and production was discontinued from the end of March 2007. In addition, marketing activities of related domestic and overseas
sales companies or offices have been discontinued, with the closure and sales of these companies and offices expected to be completed
by the end of September 2007.
For the fiscal year ended March 2007, consolidated net sales in the Photo Imaging business were ¥47.8 billion and the operating loss
was ¥0.8 billion.
