Digital Information Equipment recorded sales of 158.9 billion yen, an increase of 18.5%, and operating loss of 1.3 billion yen, improved by 18.8 billion yen compared to 1Q fiscal 2012, showing improvement both in sales and operating result.
LCD TVs
In overseas markets, sales were slow in the U.S. and Europe. In Japan, there was progress in shifting to large-screen models of higher average-price. We will continue to strive for improving profitability by enhancing the product lineup of models 60 inches and larger, strengthening sales in significant markets such as emerging countries, and developing new products such as 4K models.
Mobile phones
The sales of mobile phones increased both in monetary and unit basis, compared to 1Q fiscal 2012, the period when we suffered from a lack of procurement of major components. We expect a severe ongoing environment, such as fierce competition with domestic and overseas brands. We will strive to win back market share in Japan by enhancing our lineup of models equipped with IGZO LCDs.
We revised our forecast of Digital Information Equipment, as we revised our sales forecast of mobile phones, considering the recent severe business environment.

Health and Environmental Equipment recorded sales of 82.3 billion yen, an increase of 5.2% from 1Q fiscal 2012, due to healthy sales of air conditioners and air purifiers. On the other hand, there was a 22.1% decrease in operating income compared to 1Q 2012 to 6.4 billion yen, due to the negative impact of a weakening yen on profit in the Japanese market.
We expect a severe environment in securing profitability due to rapid changes in terms of trade. We will strive to improve financial results by promoting local production for local consumption, and by expanding overseas business centering on the ASEAN region.
