KONAMI CORPORATION

We hereby announce that our consolidated net revenues and operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 were ¥190,932 million ( 81.6 % of the same period in the previous year) and ¥ 17,126 million ( 49.3 % of the same period of the previous year), respectively.

Income before income taxes and net income attributable to Konami Corporation were ¥16,119 million ( 50.8 % of the same period in the previous year) and ¥10,620 million ( 59.6 % of the same period of the previous year), respectively.

The business environment remains uncertain despite showing signs of some recovery from the economic slowdown since last year, resulting in lower net revenues and operating income compared to the same period of the previous year.

In our Digital Entertainment business, we rolled out the latest versions of sports video games and MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB for amusement arcades. Video game titles, such as the new original romantic communication game LOVEPLUS, and card game products enjoyed steady sales. In our Health & Fitness business, we opened new fitness clubs under Konami's direct management and expanded our portfolio of contract-based facilities. In addition to the development and introduction of facilities, we enhanced services that meet the diversifying needs of customers.
