Net revenues and operating income are lower compared to the 1st quarter of the previous year which saw the release of highly popular title, METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS, along with the effects of changes in the economic environment.

Digital Entertainment segment saw solid sales of sports titles such as baseball and soccer games, music titles and card games. In the Health & Fitness segment, we opened a total of five new directly managed fitness clubs, including relocations and rebuilds as well as four new contract- based facilities. Furthermore, we also closed a number of facilities.

As leading titles are scheduled to be launched in the second half of the year, we are in-line with the financial guidance for this fiscal year.
