SQUARE ENIX 2004 07
linked structure, Square Enix intends to develop a new
relationship with various hardware and software com-
panies to define new platforms that will be a
combination of many technologies provided by the
various industry players.
With regard to our medium-term outlook, we plan
to lay the groundwork for earnings in fiscal 2004 and
fiscal 2005 based on products currently in the pipeline.
We expect an outline of the new industry structure to
emerge in fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006. Therefore, Square
Enix has chosen the first two years as a period for rein-
forcing its business foundation and making
forward-looking investments. As a part of these efforts,
we enhanced our management and organization of
overseas operations in the U.S., Europe and China,
beginning in April 2004. In fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008,
we will take partin full-fledged competition within the
IT industry as a whole, and I have chosen these years as
a time for expansion. By 2010, the Square Enix Group
plans on becoming one of the largest and best digital
content providers in the world and profiting from its
endeavors.
We are now setting out on a new adventure. To this
end, we ask for the steadfast support of our sharehold-
ers.
