Q1.

What are the factors behind the drop in MFP hardware sales overseas in FY2012/03 Q4?

A1.

We were not able to supply our products fully by February due to the impact of Thai flood. The issue had been almost resolved in March, but there was not enough time for us to clean up all of the back-orders. As a result, we were not able to recover from the decline of January and February.

Q2.

The forecast for restructuring cost for FY2013/03 has been decreased and at the same time the benefit has been increased. How do you work it out?

A2.

We accelerated part of our 3-year structural reform plan in FY2012/03. Due to this we now think we will be able to implement reform at lower costs while reaping a greater effect than initially planned for FY2013/03. We have not changed the actual three year plan for structural reform, including reducing the workforce by around 10,000.

Q3.

Is there any possibility of increasing dividend when you achieve your first half plan?

A3.

It could be reviewed if conditions improve.

Q4.

Do you have any plan of the free cash flow for FY2013/3?

A4.

We are expecting cash-in of around 60.0 billion yen, including the following accumulated factors:
Net income: 33.0 billion yen
Depreciation and amortization: 95.0 billion yen
Capex: 85.0 billion yen
Control and working capital management, including downsizing Inventories: 20.0billion yen
