Highlights by Region


<Japan>
Domestic sales ware supported by growing vehicle exports by the Company's customers, as well as the effect of the eco-car incentive programs. Sales were 10,539 million yen, up 15.8 percent year-on-year, and operating profit was 490 million yen.

<USA>
Demand began to pick up, as the slowing U.S. automotive market started to stabilize. Sales in the U.S., however, remained weak due partially to a delay in new business. Sales were 1,480 million yen, up 5.1 percent year-on-year. The division reported an operating loss of 39 million yen.
