Let's look at the electronic devices and components business segment. Sales for this fiscal year fell by 26.3% or 50.1 billion yen from the previous year to 140.3 billion yen. Sales were down in all areas with the exception of measuring components for which we enjoyed good sales in game console applications. Operating loss totaled 4.1 billion yen. Profit increased for measuring components, but losses increased in HDD spindle motors and speakers, while information motors, keyboards and electronic devices slipped into the red.
Net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 are projected to decline year-on-year in all areas excluding the positive effect of the corporate acquisition, and will reach between 125.8 billion yen and 106.7 billion. Despite a slow recovery in sales, we expect to see a much smaller operating loss in HDD spindle motors as well as a decrease in the operating loss in information motors, while profitability in electronic devices will be restored, due to various measures taken to improve profitability. For measuring components, we expect to see a decrease in operating income.
