REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
However, sales declined for the term, owing to the effects of the appreciation of the
yen and the decline in demand for digital karaoke machines.
In IT equipment, although sales volumes of CD recorders (CD-Rs) increased
substantially, low selling prices caused sales revenues to stagnate. Benefiting
from the spread of the Internet, ISDN routers continued to produce healthy
sales results.
As a result of these factors, net sales for the segment decreased 5.2% for the
term, to ¥387.0 billion (US$3.65 billion), and operating income declined
11.8%, to ¥27.1 billion (US$0.26 billion).
In fiscal 2001, YAMAHA will strive to increase earnings in this segment
through growth in its existing businesses backed by its 100th-anniversary cam-
paign for YAMAHA pianos and by pursuing new Internet and digital media
related business.
