Operating results and financial conditions
I. Analysis of operating results 1. Operating results
During the period, there was change in accounting method on sales recognition for an oversea
OEM client from FOB to DDU standard. The change negatively affected the net sales by 112 million yen compared to the amount if it were recognized in the previous accounting method.
As the timing of upgrading for major instruments has been approaching, on the other hand,
shipment of DNA extractors to OEM clients was slower than expected. Due to the those factors, which are unusual and limited to this fiscal year, net sales for the 9 months declined to 2,335 million yen (down 13.0% compared to the same period in previous year). Affected by sales decline, the gross profit decreased to 985 million yen (down 9.9% yoy) Selling, general, and administrative expenses slightly reduced to 1,177 million yen (3.5% down compared to the same period of previous fiscal year). As a result, operating loss was recorded as 192 million yen and ordinary loss was recorded as 299 million yen, while net loss became 427 million yen. Sales classification by customers:

The sales to Roche Group and Qiagen Group declined due to the above mentioned reasons, while the sales to Mitsubishi Kagaku Medience, Inc. expanded. The sales to other customers were negatively affected by sales decline of specially ordered systems to clinical
testing institutes.
Information by business segments is as follows: 1. Bio-related Business In bio-related business, the net sales decreased 12.9% to 2,316 million yen, while operating loss expanded to 81 million yen. The sales of bio-related business by each product category: For

1) DNA auto-extractors This category consists of automated systems utilizing the Company’s internationally patented Magtration
Ⓡ
Technology. In addition to DNA auto-extractors, this category includes
immunochemical luminescent measuring system. With progress being made in the bioresearch field and the ensuing need for speedy processing of multiple specimens, we believe that this category has strong potential for future market growth. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, due to the weak sales to Roche Group and Qiagen Group, the overall sales of this category resulted in 542 units or 977million yen (24.6% down year on year). The quarterly sales units and amount of DNA auto-extractors are shown in below chart

2) 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 FY 2008 third quarter, the sales of this category decreased 64.8% year on year to 98 million yen. The sales in this category tend to be significantly impacted by the number of orders received for specially ordered systems. 3) 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 FY 2008 third quarter, sales in this category amounted to 355 million yen (21.6% 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. 4) 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 FY 2008 third quarter, sales in this category expanded to 884 million yen (11.9% increase compared to the previous year). Since 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. 2.
