[Qualitative information regarding consolidated operational results]
Since the beginning of the current fiscal year, some Japanese and foreign manufacturers have rapidly reduced their capital expenditures due to excess inventories, mainly of CCD/C-MOS imagers used in camera-equipped mobile phones. This downturn caused delays in decisions to make capital expenditures and postponements of some orders already placed. To increase their production capabilities, a growing number of manufacturers have been remodeling and upgrading existing facilities while holding down purchases of new equipment. Furthermore, sales tend to slow down in the third quarter (December – February) due mainly to seasonal factors. As a result of the above and other factors, third-quarter (December 2006 – February 2007) sales in the electronics testing equipment business were 203 million yen.
On the other hand, after overhauling its product line-up and actively pursuing orders, the Group has received orders for several major development projects in the security systems business. The development work and sales related to these projects are on target. As a result, the Company expects to record a profit in the second half, but it does not expect to be able to post a profit for the full fiscal year. Therefore, it has become necessary to revise the tax-effect accounting at BIJ Corporation and the Company posted an interim net loss resulting from the deferred income tax of 52 million yen.
The Company reported sales of 1,327 million yen, ordinary loss of 76 million yen and net loss of 119 million yen. Compared with the previous nine-month period, these were increase of 239 million yen and 61 million yen, but decrease of 37 million yen, respectively. Sales by product category were as follows.
In the electronics testing equipment business, illuminator sales were 849 million yen (139.7% of the same period in the previous fiscal year), which was 64.0% of total sales, as the Company sold 69 units for the current nine-month period.
IP module sales were 88 million yen (98.7%), which was 6.7% of total sales, as the Company sold 17 units.
Sales of supplied parts, units and maintenance services were 316 million yen (92.2%), which was 23.8% of total sales.
In security systems business, sales was 72 million yen (157.0%), which was 5.5% of total sales.

made in accordance with information available at the time this report was prepared. Forecasts therefore embody risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from these forecasts for a number of factors.
[Qualitative information regarding consolidated forecast]
Although the operating environment of the electronics testing equipment business remains severe as semiconductor manufacturers slash capital expenditure, the recent steady decline in orders has been reversed and orders are gradually recovering from the beginning of 2007. The Company is committed to working harder to reduce manufacturing costs by introducing more efficient manufacturing infrastructure at its Kumamoto site and shorting lead times while at the same time stepping up marketing to win more orders for illuminators. However, the forecast of sales resulting from the above marketing initiatives could be affected by delivery schedules specified by clients and the actual delivery timing of testers.
On the other hand, aggressive marketing is bringing in more orders in the security systems business and this business is now in a position to start contributing to sales.
Due to the above items, the Company expects sales of 1,954 million yen, ordinary income of 45 million yen and a net loss of 30 million yen, as stated in the “Notice of Revisions to Operating Forecasts” issued on December 26, 2006.
Along with focusing its efforts on marketing, the Company will work even harder to cut the cost of sales and other operating expenses.
Regarding dividends, management believes that raising corporate value and paying adequate dividends are important methods of sharing profit with our shareholders. INTER ACTION’s basic policy is to pay stable dividends while at the same time building up adequate reserves to strengthen the company’s financial position. In accordance with this policy, we plan to declare a dividend of 600 yen per common share applicable to the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007.
