Q1.: The operating income of 140 billion yen that was forecast for FY 2015/03 seems a little conservative. Why did you settle on this figure?
Q2.: Why was the Network System Solutions business that aimed for large growth in new MTP pegged at -3.9% in the plan for FY 2015/03?

Q1.: The operating income of 140 billion yen that was forecast for FY 2015/03 seems a little conservative. Why did you settle on this figure?
A1.: The plan may seem conservative. However, we made this plan on the assumption that we will invest in new business this year. A lineup of new MFP products was launched last year and we are also moving along with structural reforms. Our priority is realistically achieving the target FY 2015/03.

Q2.: Why was the Network System Solutions business that aimed for large growth in new MTP pegged at -3.9% in the plan for FY 2015/03?
A2.: A PC-related irregular high demand occurred in FY 2014/03 because of the end of support for Windows XP and before the rise in the Japanese consumption tax. So we assume that demand will decrease as a result of a backlash to these factors. We intend to extend our business globally and steadily over the medium term. We are implementing various measures against this background.
