Review of Operations

ANNUAL REPORT 2005
Semiconductors, optical equipment,
measuring equipment, leasing, logistic
services, etc.
While the measuring equipment business
was stagnant due to slack demand, and sales
of semiconductors decreased, the optical
equipment and leasing businesses performed
favorably in Japan. Overseas, sales through a
consolidated subsidiary in the optical (analog
camera) related area declined. As a result,
total sales in Other Businesses were down
0.1% from the previous fiscal year, and
stood at ¥222.2 billion ($2,077 million).
Other Businesses segment consists of
semiconductor-related areas (e.g., power supply
ICs, PC interface ICs, and ICs for use in
telecommunications and imaging); areas related
to optical equipment (e.g., digital cameras); areas
related to measuring equipment (e.g., gas and
water measuring devices); areas related to leasing
by affiliates; and others.
As for digital cameras, one standout model is the
high-performance Caplio R2, featuring a large
LCD and super zoom lens.

Network System Solutions Segment
Personal computers, servers, network
devices, software, support and services,
etc.
Sales of solutions business, such as support
and service, continue to increase both in
Japan and overseas. Additionally, demand
for PCs and servers within Japan bounced
back, and as a result total sales for the
segment increased 5.1% from the previous
fiscal year, to ¥205.8 billion ($1,924
million).
To assist customers in optimizing total
printing costs, we further bolstered our
solutions business with useware, document
management and software. The solutions we
proposed were accepted by customers in
Japan and overseas and we saw sales rise in
this area.
