Investor Meeting Presentation for FY 3/2014 held on May 9, 2014

This slide highlights the automobile industry to illustrate one of the reasons behind growing ball bearing sales. It compares annual sales volumes of the ball bearings we identify as being used by the automobile industry with annual global automobile production volumes.
As noted on the slide, use of our parts is increasing and will continue to increase because they address the needs for safety, energy savings, higher quality, and environmental protection. Today German luxury models use about 45 Minebea size bearings per vehicle while standard models use about 20. This usage is expected to gradually expand. Given that backdrop, our ball bearing sales should remain quite robust for a while. It was also a stroke of good fortune that we completed our new factory building just before Thailand was hit by major flooding.
Sales of ball bearings employed in fan motors used to cool data centers are also currently up. Since this application requires high-speed fan motors, fan motors employing ball bearings are selling very well around the world. Widespread use of brushless motors is also continuing to pick up every year, and this is another area where Minebea size ball bearings will be increasingly used.
