| [Qualitative Information on the Current Progress towards Operating Results (Consolidated)] |
Japan's economy in the third quarter of the current financial year has been on a steady recovery track mainly due to the rise in corporate earnings, an increase in equipment investment in the private sector, the improvement in employment conditions, and a rebound in consumer spending.
According to an announcement by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), the domestic personal computer market continued to be strong in the third quarter of the current fiscal year (October to December 2005) with 2.89 million units sold (5% over the same period of the previous year). This represented positive growth for 11 consecutive quarters in terms of the number of units. As a result of the continued fall in unit selling prices, however, the value of personal computer sales remained at 92% of those posted in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. The personal computer market for corporate customers remained favorable, with equipment investment resulting from improved business results also being active in the small and medium-sized business sectors, and strong replacement demand for the personal computers playing a major role in the marketplace. The consumer market, spurred by the increase in bonus payments, also continued to be brisk.
With “Challenge for new growth – Quality and Quantity” as its catchphrase, our group aims to become a distributor chosen by customers by handling products in large volumes and improving the quality of our service, as well as by pursuing our basic policy of customer-first, community-based sales and low-cost operations. As in the previous year, we are currently promoting a sales campaign to sell 1.2 million the personal computers and 50 thousand servers to achieve the targets “Over The Million” and “Challenge for 50 thousand servers,” respectively.
We held software solution and security seminars nationwide to institute anti-information leakage measures and IT-based asset management. To boost our business results, we also focused our efforts on sales expansion in such business categories as security, service and support, digital home information equipment, IP Internet Phone, database software, middleware, software licensing, our exclusive product lines, and backup hardware and software.
ZOA Corporation went public on the Jasdaq Securities Exchange. With the selling-off of its shares, voting rights held by DIS decreased to 40%. As a result, ZOA Corporation became an affiliate accounted for by the equity method from the previous consolidated subsidiary, and “over-the-counter retailing of information technology products” disappeared from our list of segmented business categories during the current consolidated fiscal period.
Consolidated sales in the third quarter of the current fiscal year came to 259.864 billion yen, with an operating profit of 1.886 billion yen and a pretax profit of 1.776 billion yen.
We posted a special profit of 79 million yen from the selling off of the shares in ZOA Corporation, and a variable profit of 146 million yen based on the equity method. With an extraordinary decrease of 115 million yen from the loss in the elimination of fixed assets, our net profit for the third quarter of the current fiscal year amounted to 1.05 billion yen. |

| [Characteristics of our group’s business results for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year] |
| In Japan, many businesses have fixed the end of their business year at March. Therefore, the introduction of new systems, their reception after inspection, and their delivery tend to be concentrated in March, the end of the fiscal year. It is likely that performance in the fourth quarter (from January to March, 2006) will significantly affect our group's business results for the entire fiscal year. |

| [Qualitative information on fluctuations in our financial situation (consolidated)] |
The financial conditions of our group in the third quarter of the current fiscal year were as follows.
Compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, total assets declined by 2.125 billion yen to 121.685 billion yen. A major factor for this decrease was that cash, deposits, and long-term borrowings declined because ZOA Corporation became an affiliate accounted for under the equity method instead of a consolidated subsidiary.
Capital funds increased by 5.892 billion yen from the same period of the preceding year to 34.14 billion yen. This is due to corporate bonds with share warrants issued in October 2004 were converted into shares. The shareholder capital ratio saw a sharp rise to 28.0% from 22.8% from the same period of the preceding year.

| [Qualitative information concerning the expected business results] |
In the third quarter, everything moved nearly as planned, and we have therefore not changed our projection for the business results announced on November 2, 2005.
The expected net profit per share has been corrected to account for the increase in the number of shares issued following the conversion of the corporate bonds with share warrants into shares in the third quarter of the current fiscal year. |
