1. Operating results
In the first quarter of FY2009 ended September 30, 2008, net sales increased 64.3% compared to the same
period of previous year to 1,030million yen due to the full scale shipment of DNA extractors for major OEM
clients, Roche Group and QIAGEN Group. As a result, Gross margin improved 57.1% to 465 million yen.
On the hand, selling, general and administrative expenses reduced by 22.8% to 322 million yen as cost
reduction efforts, implementing from last fiscal year, became effective. Therefore, operating income recorded
142 million yen compared to the 121 million yen operating loss in the same period of previous year, while
ordinary income for the three month improved to 123 million yen (123 million yen loss in same period of
previous year) in and net income for the three month became 108 million yen (142 million yen loss in same
period of previous year)
Net sales according to customer are as follows: (Unit: Million yen)
The shipment of upgrade models of DNA extractors to Roche Group and QIAGEN Group contributed to large
sales increase for the period, while sales to Mitsubishi Kagaku Medience, Inc., was slow.
For the sales to other customers, there was increase due to the steady shipment to OEM partners in the US.
Information by business segments is as follows:

Technology. In addition to DNA auto-extractors, this category includes immunochemical luminescent
measuring system, an OEM product for Mitsubishi Kagaku Medience, Inc. and Purelumn, auto protein
purification system, for which we have had exclusive sales agreement with GE Healthcare Bio Science Inc.
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the sales on this category increased 196.3 % to 623
million yen thanks to brisk sales of new models to Roche Group and QIAGEN Group.

b) Other laboratory equipment This category consists of automated instruments used in institutions such as research facilities, as well as
developmental projects commissioned by governmental ministries, agencies and affiliated organizations.
During the three months period ended September 30, 2008, the sales of this category decreased 85.0% year on
year to 3 million yen as system sales to clinical test centers became weak. The sales in this category tend to be
significantly impacted by the number of orders received for specially ordered systems.
c) Other products
This category includes sales generated from spare parts (replacement) and maintenance of equipment, pre-
packaged reagents for the extraction and purification of nucleic acid used in the Company’s DNA auto-
extractors, and software development.
During the three months period ended September 30, 2008,
sales in this category amounted to 161 million
yen (81.4% increase compared to the previous year). Since sales derived from spare parts and equipment
maintenance tends to increase in direct proportion to the cumulative number of systems sold, steady
growth in the sales of this category is expected.
d) Merchandise (plastic consumables)
This category consists of disposable plastic parts such as tips and cartridges consumed in the use of systems.
Consumables designed exclusively for use in the PSS manufactured DNA auto-extractors comprise the major
part of this category.
During the three months period ended September 30, 2008,
sales in this category decreased 21.1% to 236
million yen due to the slow sales of DNA extractors, sales recognition modification, etc. The sales derived
from plastic consumables tend to increase in direct proportion to the cumulative number of systems sold,
steady growth in the sales of this category is expected in the future. For the first quarter, it was relatively
slow due to the week shipment to Roche Group although it would be improved in 2
nd
and successive period as
shipments of upgraded model have started.
(2) Investment business
In investment business, the net sales were 6 million yen and operating income was 3 million yen,
respectively as PSS Capital Co., Ltd. received management fee from Bio-Contents Fund LLP.
Due to the tightened economic and financial circumstances, there were fewer IPOs in the period. While many
bio-ventures felt difficulty to secure necessary fund, our investment activities had to be conservative. For the
three months period, there was no investment made by Bio-Contents Fund LLP.
