Business Performance

1.Β Consolidated Results of Operations

(1)Β Business Overview

The business environment surroundingΒ KONAMI CORPORATION and itsΒ subsidiaries ("Konami")Β was harsh due to continued uncertainty regarding the future caused by factors such asΒ the ongoing economic slowdown that began last year, impact of the appreciation of the yen, andΒ decline in consumer spending.

In the entertainment industry, the amusement arcade market is still in a severe state, influenced by the credit crunch. Meanwhile, in the home video game market, various new products and titles were announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 (E3) held in theΒ United StatesΒ in June 2009. The new products and titles shown at the video game trade fair attracted great attention not only inΒ JapanΒ but also in overseas marketsΒ primarily inΒ North America andΒ Europe.

InΒ the health and fitness industry,Β withΒ the arrival of an agingΒ societyΒ andΒ theΒ introduction of specified healthcare guidanceΒ asΒ aΒ measure taken to combat lifestyle diseasesΒ etc.,Β increasedΒ demandΒ forΒ and interest in health maintenance and promotionΒ continue to be expected.

AgainstΒ these backdrops,Β Konami'sΒ Digital Entertainment segment rolled out sports and music home video game software on multiple platforms and marked firm sales. Sales of card games, centering onΒ Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAMEΒ were also favorable.Β In the Health & Fitness segment,Β we strove to enhance servicesΒ supporting health maintenance and promotion by expanding services provided both within and outside our facilities. This includedΒ opening new fitness clubs under our direct management, increasing the number of facilities outsourced to us, developing and reinforcing sales of health-related productsΒ and promoting the computerization of health management.

As for the Gaming & System segment, we reinforced sales of theΒ K2V,Β Advantage 5Β and other slot machine series in the North American and Australian markets. Furthermore, sales through theΒ Konami Casino Management SystemΒ as well as participation agreements (equipment sales in which profits are shared) also progressed steadily.

In terms of the consolidated results for theΒ three months ended June 30, 2009, net revenues amounted toΒ Y55,975Β million (a year-on-yearΒ decrease ofΒ 20.9%), operating income wasΒ Y1,000Β million (a year-on-yearΒ decrease ofΒ 91.4%), income before income taxes wasΒ Y904Β million (a year-on-yearΒ decrease ofΒ 92.3%), and net incomeΒ attributable to Konami CorporationΒ wasΒ Y367Β million (a year-on-yearΒ decrease ofΒ 93.5%).

Digital Entertainment

Computer & Video Games business:Β InΒ Japan,Β JIKKYOU PAWAFURU MAJOR LEAGUE 2009, loaded with theΒ '09 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSICβ„’Β mode, was released in April 2009.Β Winning Eleven PLAY MAKER 2009, the latestΒ titleΒ in theΒ WORLD SOCCER Winning ElevenΒ seriesΒ forΒ theΒ Wii, was released in May.

Regarding the distribution of game software titles for mobile phones and terminals, including the iPhone and iPod touch, Konami promoted development utilizing various popular titles.

Amusement business:Β The impact of a harsh market environment, which began last year, continues to be seen in amusement arcadeΒ video games. Sales were stable, however, inΒ GuitarFreaksV6 BLAZING!!!!Β andΒ DrumManiaV6 BLAZING!!!!, which areΒ popular music titlesΒ that utilizeΒ theΒ e-AMUSEMENTΒ serviceΒ linkingΒ amusement arcades nationwide through its network. In token-operated games forΒ commercialΒ arcades, sales were stable forΒ SPINFEVER2, aΒ medium-sized pusher medal game.

Card games business:Β We continued to record favorable sales in theΒ Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADINGΒ CARDΒ GAMEΒ series.

Meanwhile, in North America and Europe, sales were strong for theΒ DanceDanceRevolutionΒ series (known asΒ DancingStageΒ inΒ Europe) andΒ PRO EVOLUTION SOCCERΒ series. Many Konami titles were announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 (E3) held in theΒ USΒ in June. While the announced titles are receiving favorable reviews and showing steady performance, sales are lower in comparison to the same period last year, which saw the release of the highly popular title,Β METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for theΒ three months ended June 30, 2009Β of this segment amounted toΒ Y24,601Β million (a year-on-yearΒ decrease ofΒ 45.1%).

Β 

Health & Fitness

Β 

Operation of fitness clubs:Β Due to slowdown in business performance caused by the financial crisis continuing since last year and ongoingΒ suppressionΒ of consumer spending resulted from uncertainty over employment and income, there is a progressive trend towards low prices in the fitness club industry. At the same time, there was an increase in the number of fitness clubs and an increased difficulty in capturing members.Β Against suchΒ backdrop,Β Konami strove to enhance quality ofΒ the services it providesΒ bothΒ within and outside the facilities and health-related products, expanding the services and lineup of products that meet regional characteristics andΒ customerΒ needs.

Regarding directly managed facilities, a total of five new fitness clubs were opened, including relocation and reconstruction, in Motoyamaminami (HyogoΒ Prefecture) and Sapporo Maruyama (Hokkaido) in April 2009, andΒ IchikawaΒ (ChibaΒ Prefecture), Kitahama (OsakaΒ Prefecture), andΒ ShinsaibashiΒ (OsakaΒ Prefecture)Β in May.Β VariousΒ effortsΒ were madeΒ to provide services for customers, whose awareness of health is rising, includingΒ the development of facilities that match the characteristic of each area and the upgrading and enlargement of services, as well asΒ the development and introduction of health promotion programs that leverage Konami'sΒ strengths in health management and exercise and nutritional guidance utilizing IT.

Operation of sports facilities outsourced to us:Β In the management of sports facilities outsourced to Konami, promotion of the good health of community residents was advanced by adding four facilities under our management, including Mikamo Clean Center Residual Heat Utilization Facility (Tochigi Prefecture) and Hiroshima Prefectural Sports Center (Hiroshima Prefecture). Those public facilities are operatedΒ fully utilizingΒ Konami's know-how and experience,Β etc. Furthermore, as a result of executing the closure of facilities, etc., the number of sports facilities managed by Konami,Β includingΒ those directly managed orΒ outsourced to us, was 343 nationwide as of the end of June 2009.

Health products:Β In health products, we expanded our sales network through measures such as the launch of health product catalogue sales through an alliance with the Tokyo Branch of Japan Post Network Co., Ltd. in May 2009.Β 

New product launches and utilization of IT for health management were also promoted, and the upgrading and enlargement of products and services to support the maintenance and promotion of good health both within and outside Konami facilities wereΒ pursued, including the launchΒ inΒ JuneΒ of the pre-installment of theΒ Konami Sports Club WidgetΒ inΒ SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp. mobile handsets. This widget enables linkage with the Konami Sports Club website for mobile phones and provides a new, easy-to-use health management function.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for theΒ three months ended June 30, 2009Β of this segment amounted toΒ Y21,438Β million (a year-on-yearΒ decrease ofΒ 3.3%).

Gaming & System

Β 

Stable revenues were secured in the North American market, withΒ theΒ sales of theΒ Advantage 5Β five-reel mechanical slot machine series andΒ theΒ K2VΒ (video slot machine) series, which has become a standard item, continuing to be brisk,Β theΒ sales of theΒ Konami Casino Management System, which secured regular income from maintenance and servicing, as well asΒ theΒ sales through participation agreements progressing steadily. Full-scale sales have also been launched in Central andΒ South AmericaΒ with the building of a distributor network for the market.

The growth in demand has come to a halt in the Australian market due to factors such as the sluggish economic situation,Β restrictions placed in key states on the number of machines installed, the impact of smoking restrictions in clubs and pubs, and tax codeΒ revisions. However, Konami's revenues have improved through the full-scale introduction of theΒ Konami CasinoΒ Management System,Β theΒ sales of theΒ AdvantageΒ 5Β mechanical slot machine,Β ourΒ ongoing launch of new products and theΒ enhancementΒ of services.

Our gaming machines have been exhibited at various trade shows around the world, including the IndianΒ Gaming '09Β Trade Show (in Arizona, USA in April), the Canadian Gaming Summit (in Ontario, Canada in April), the SOUTHERN GAMING SUMMIT (in Mississippi, USA in May), the South American Gaming Suppliers Expo Panama (in Panama City, Panama in May) and the Global Gaming Expo Asia (in Macao, China in June). A wide ranging product lineup that meets the needs of each market was shown, such as theΒ Advantage 5Β series, which is gathering attention in North America; theΒ K2VΒ series, which is installedΒ with aΒ new concept free game;Β Beat theΒ Field, a link progressive machine; and theΒ Podium, a new-generation cabinet (outer structure), all of which receivedΒ good reviews.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for theΒ three months ended June 30, 2009Β of this segment amounted toΒ Y3,907Β million (a year-on-year increase ofΒ 6.4%).

3. Outlook for Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2010

Digital Entertainment

In digital entertainment, we will continue to focus on the large-scale European and North American video gameΒ software markets in addition to the maturedΒ JapaneseΒ market. We will place particular focus onΒ the development of animated games and original games in addition to sports and music games, which areΒ Konami'sΒ strengths. These include theΒ WORLD SOCCER Winning ElevenΒ (overseas name:Β PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER) series and theΒ DanceDanceRevolutionΒ series,Β which remain persistently popular inΒ North America. We will also focusΒ ourΒ efforts on online marketing of titles available for download to game consoles with network connectivity, the ratio of which is increasing, and mobile phones and terminals, as well as the online distribution of content likeΒ Chaotic Eden, a dungeon exploration-type RPG.

In arcade video games, we will further upgrade and enlarge the lineup of products utilizing theΒ e-AMUSEMENTΒ service and launch the music gameΒ jubeat ripples, the horseracing simulation card gameΒ HORSERIDERS 2Β andΒ InfinityRings,Β a mass medal game in a new genre. WeΒ also plan to launch titles for theΒ MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB,Β BASEBALL HEROESΒ and other standard series as well as new titles while keeping an eye on the marketΒ environment.Β 

In card games, we willΒ continueΒ to rolloutΒ Yu-Gi-Oh!Β TRADING CARD GAMEΒ series titles worldwide.

As for popular content, we will pursue high synergy through multifaceted development that is not restricted to home video game software,Β videoΒ for commercial platforms orΒ card games.

Health & Fitness

Under the themes "exercise," "leisure" and "nutrition," Konami is involved in the development and provision of health programsΒ that combineΒ theΒ guidance in both physical exercise techniques and nutrition. We alsoΒ developΒ effective and highly useful healthcareΒ related equipment.Β We will continue to explore the possibilities of various services in the field of health and fitness.Β Furthermore, with more than 300 fitness clubs underΒ ourΒ management, we are the largest operator of sports facilities inΒ Japan. We will leverage thisΒ strengthΒ to the utmost, create synergyΒ -Β such as the enrichment and expansion of the programs offered atΒ ourΒ facilities, the computerization of health management and the expansion of the product lineupΒ -Β and promote the Konami Health & Fitness segment.

As for the market environment, consumer spending remainsΒ suppressedΒ inΒ JapanΒ due to the effects of the global recession that began last year. Competition continues to intensify with a decline in the number of young members and an increase in the number of new fitness facilitiesΒ available. The number of members per facility is expected to continue to drop and a harsh business environmentΒ may continue for theΒ foreseeableΒ future.

However, with the arrival of an aging society and the introduction of Specific Health Guidance as a government measure to counter lifestyle diseases, health consciousness is escalating acrossΒ theΒ Japanese society, and we believe thatΒ businessΒ opportunities will become even greater for fitness facility management and healthcare equipment development and sales.

Konami will continue to endeavor to rollout services that meet regional characteristics and customer needs as well as expand its product lineup. We will also aim to upgrade and enlarge services both within and outside of our facilities that support the maintenance and promotion of good health, according to changes in the business environment.

Β 

Gaming & System

TheΒ Advantage 5Β mechanical slot machine series is proving popular in the North American and Australian markets.Β AggressiveΒ marketing towards other markets will also be carried out. As for video slot machines, which areΒ mainstream itemsΒ inΒ AustraliaΒ and Central andΒ South America, we will continue to roll out products, with a focus on theΒ K2VΒ series, which continues to be the standard item in these regions, as well as reinforce sales, and develop and launch new products including theΒ Podium, a new-generationΒ cabinetΒ (outer structure).Β 

Furthermore, the adoption of theΒ Konami Casino Management SystemΒ is progressing in the North American and Australian marketsΒ particularlyΒ at theΒ major casino operators. In the future, we will proactively sell this system to other markets as well as strive to reinforce the strength of the system while developing new features andΒ pursuingΒ strategic alliances with other companies. Furthermore, we willΒ reinforceΒ theΒ sales of participation agreements,Β increaseΒ the amount of steady, periodical income andΒ stabilizeΒ operations.Β 

We will also furtherΒ reinforceΒ theΒ collaboration between our three basesΒ -Β theΒ US,Β AustraliaΒ andΒ JapanΒ -Β and promote the efficiency of operations andΒ supportΒ production and sales. Furthermore, we will make use of our three bases to develop new products that respond to changes in society and demand, andΒ endeavorΒ to enhance the added value ofΒ ourΒ existing products. We will continue to use Konami'sΒ strength in theΒ domain of entertainmentΒ as the foundation for proposing new products that will bring even greater enjoyment to customers.

Projected consolidated results for theΒ fiscal year ending March 31, 2010Β are as follows: net revenue of 310,000 million yen; operating income ofΒ 30,000 million yen; income before income taxes ofΒ 28,500 million yen; andΒ net income attributable to Konami Corporation ofΒ 16,000 million yen. Thus, there is no change from the figures released in theΒ "ConsolidatedΒ financialΒ results for theΒ yearΒ ended March 31, 2009"Β datedΒ May 14, 2009.

Konami, as a business affected by "hit" products, requires flexibility in how its products are released and is subject to fluctuations in sales throughout the course of the year. For this reason, projected consolidated results for theΒ six months ending September 30, 2009Β are not disclosed.

As for the disclosure of quarterly financial results, we will continue to make an effort toΒ provideΒ them asΒ thoroughlyΒ as possible.

Special Note:

This document contains "forward-looking statements," or statements related to future events that are based on management's assumptions and beliefs in light of information currently available. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make investments, you should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Actual results may be affected by a number of important factors and materially different from those discussed in forward-looking statements.Β Such factors include, but are not limited to,Β changes in economic conditions affecting our operations, and market trends and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar and the Euro.
