> In the Others business category, Olympus mainly engages in the
manufacturing and sales of industrial endoscopes, non-destruc-
tive testing devices, printers and bar code scanners, and system
development.
Along with the organizational restructuring in April 2005,
industrial endoscopes, printers, and bar code scanners were
transferred from the Industrial Systems Business.
Net sales surged by 58.1% to ¥64,446 million (US$560 mil-
lion), contributing to ¥1,443 million (US$13 million) of operating
income, even though Olympus had experienced ¥1,834 million of
operating loss in the previous fiscal year.
Olympus has acquired R/D Tech Inc. in Canada to fortify its
position in the non-destructive testing market and formed new
subsidiary Olympus NDT Inc. in the U.S. in order to take over
and successfully promote the R/D Tech business that has been
so highly acclaimed in the industry. Thus in the Inspection &
Maintenance Systems industrial business segment, Olympus’ leg-
acy visual inspection videoscope, as well as its ultrasound & eddy
current flaw detection products, have shown significant increases
both in revenues and operating profit.
In the information equipment field, Olympus commenced sales
of new, high-speed printers in line with its business alliance with
RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION, contributing to an increase in the
sales amount of printers and expendable supplies.
In the biomedical materials field, revenues increased, owing
to the enhanced lineup of artificial bones that created synergistic
effects with existing products. Furthermore, sales were up due to
ITX Corporation’s entry into the field as a consolidated subsidiary
in the second half of fiscal 2005, as it had a positive effect on the
Information & Communication Business.

> In the area of non-destructive testing, we will propose ideal solu-
tions for maintenance systems, including high-precision measuring
and remote inspection technology. In the industrial printers seg-
ment, we will supply products to satisfy the needs of an expanding
range of business scenarios. In fiscal 2007, net sales is expected
to be ¥75 billion and operating income ¥2.5 billion.
