D ear W acom shareholders,
O n behalf of W acom, I would like to extend my greetings to all shareholders and
express our sincere appreciation of your unchanging support. We are pleased to
present the W acom Annual Report for the 22nd fiscal year from April 1, 2004
through March 31, 2005.
Since opening our doors in 1983, we have focused on researching and developing
unique user interface solutions designed to enhance human creativity. Under the
corporate philosophy of “harmonious development between man and
technology,” W acom has served customers worldwide while growing into a
global company with a presence in all major regions.
Today, W acom is recognized as the leading provider of pen tablets— indispensable
for professional designers and artists in film, animation, games and other graphics
industries. Further, recent growth of broadband communication, digital
photography and liquid crystal displays has led to a rapid increase in the number
of recreational users, which coincided with our expansion into new application
areas such as medical care and education fields. W e also plan to position W acom
technology as the de facto standard of the digital paper era by extending our
reach to new mobile platforms such as Tablet PC, a next-generation mobile
phone, and info-appliances. To ensure long-term growth and generate higher
corporate value, we will invest in development of new technologies and establish
a global brand leadership.
At W acom, we continue in our commitment to the expansion of human creativity
