1. Overview of consolidated earnings in fiscal year ended March 31, 2014

Consolidated P/L

⇒Page 3 of handout

The consolidated P/L statement for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 reports net sales totaled 114.9 billion yen, operating income was 9.7 billion yen, ordinary income was 9.7 billion yen and net income was 5.3 billion yen.
Compared to the previous fiscal year, net sales up 6.8 billion yen due to an increase in the number of pachinko/pachislot machines sold.
SG&A expenses up 500 million yen due to an increase in the number of pachinko/pachislot titles sold.
The primary factors behind the fluctuations in operating income are as follows.
Sales of pachinko/pachislot machines were solid as a result of an increase in the number of pachinko/pachislot machines sold.
In addition, revenue grew particularly in the licensing business, attributable to events marking the 50th anniversary year for Tsuburaya Productions and the development of a new television series.
At the same time, in the social game business, we refined our lineup and enhanced the efficiency of our operating and development systems, and also continued investing in the creation and cultivation of IP (intellectual property) as part of our efforts to pursue measures and investments focused on medium-to-long-term growth. As a result, operating income decreased 500 million yen.
Ordinary income also decreased 500 million yen.

Number of primary new game titles in fiscal year ended March 31, 2014

⇒Page 7 of handout

At the start of the fiscal year, we had planned to release 13 social games, but ended up releasing 7 games.
This was due to postponements as we reviewed titles under development and created games in order to adapt to the shift from Web-based applications to native applications in the market overall. We did not release any arcade games in this fiscal year, but released “Sailor Zombie” (from NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc.) in April 2014.

Consolidated financial forecasts and information on business strategy conference

⇒Page 12 of handout

We have not provided the forecast of consolidated financial for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 as it is difficult to make logical forecast of financial at this point since the Group’s pachinko/pachislot business is in the midst of negotiations regarding the overall approach to business affiliations with joint ventures. We will explain our forecasts at the business conference to be held on May 7.
