1. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT CONSOLIDATED BUSINESS RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 (1) QUALITATIVE INFORMATION OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

The global economy remained on a moderate recovery trend as a whole during the current first quarter consolidated fiscal period, while the degree of economic confidence varied from region to region and tangible concerns over the ongoing low prices of crude oil and other resources persisted. The US economy stayed on a recovery trend as a whole in spite of sluggishness due to the impact of a strong dollar in the second half of the current first quarter. The European economy remained on a recovery trend in spite of the Greece debt crisis, while the Chinese economy further slowed in Asia. The Japanese economy progressed steadily, backed by an upward trend in corporate investments spurred by ongoing improvements in corporate performance, along with signs of recovery in consumer sentiment. Under these economic conditions, demand for the Company's products remained on an increasing trend in strategically focused markets in spite of stringent factors in some fields. The Company started the "2015 Mid-term Business Plan" on April 1 of this year with the aim at qualitatively restructuring itself into a truly global company, and listed "Increase sales" and "Generate cash flows" as a basic policy. The Company's basic policy for fiscal 2015, the first year of the Plan, is to "Focus on the strategic market." Under this policy we have worked to "Increase sales" and "Expand production capacity" in the environmentally-friendly and energy saving and green energy markets such as automotive, motor, white goods, industrial equipment, communications and new energy. In the first quarter consolidated fiscal period, the first three months of the first year of the Plan, sales of semiconductor devices were sluggish and remained unchanged as compared to the same period in the previous year in spite of the weaker yen, and sales of PS products declined significantly due to the completion of the latest round of corporate investments for telecommunications. Mainly due to such factors, net sales were ¥36,198 million, a decrease of ¥393 million (1.1%) as compared to the same period in the previous year. For income, operating income declined significantly as compared to the same period in the previous year, as we recorded operating income of ¥198 million, a decrease of ¥1,446 million (88.0%). This result was mainly attributable to decreased net sales, revisions in our product mix, and increased expenses relating to the new Sanken ERP system activated in May of this year. We were forced to record both an ordinary loss and quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent company: ordinary loss was ¥137 million (ordinary income of ¥1,515 million in the same period in the previous year) and the quarterly net loss attributable to owners of parent was ¥602 million (quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent company of ¥756 million in the same period in the previous year).
Overview of business by segment is as follows.
In the semiconductor devices segment, sales of automotive products increased by 10.9% as compared to the same period in the previous year, partly thanks to higher sales overall boosted by the weaker yen. Sales of products for white goods such as air conditioners and refrigerators varied greatly in different customer regions, ranging from a significant decline for domestic customers to steady levels for South Korean customers and sharp rises in China. Overall sales of products for white goods exceeded the level of the same period in the previous year by 2.9%. Consolidated net sales from this segment, however, were ¥29,701 million, marking a slight increase of ¥19 million (0.1%) as compared to the same period in the previous year mainly due to significantly declined sales of products for industrial machinery and TVs and audio products. For income, consolidated operating income was ¥1,316 million, marking a substantial decrease of ¥1,177 million (47.2%) as compared to the same period in the previous year, mainly due to sluggish sales, revisions in our product mix, and increased expenses relating to the new Sanken ERP system activated in May.
For the power modules segment, sales of products for printers for office and industrial machinery stayed on the same level as the previous year, while sales of durability-type adapters for emerging countries expanded. As a result, consolidated net sales from this segment were ¥4,068 million, an increase of ¥459 million (12.7%) as compared to the same period in the previous year. Meanwhile, for income we were forced to record consolidated operating loss of ¥285 million (consolidated operating loss of ¥238 million in the same period in the previous year) mainly due to depreciation associated with investment in production facilities.
2
Sales for the power systems segment remained sluggish. Sales of the relevant power-supply units declined significantly due to the completion of the latest round of large-scale corporate investments for telecommunication facilities mainly for mobile phones, while sales of products in new energy fields, a sector that should complement the aforesaid decline, lacked strength. As a result, consolidated net sales from this segment were ¥2,428 million, a decrease of ¥871 million (26.4%) as compared to the same period in the previous year. For income, we recorded consolidated operating loss of ¥123 million (consolidated operating loss of ¥62 million in the same period in
the previous year).

(2) QUALITATIVE INFORMATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

Assets as of the end of the three months ended June 30, 2015 were ¥195,094 million, an increase of ¥1,827 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in inventories of ¥5,157 million, total property, plant and equipment of
¥3,075 million and a decrease in notes and accounts receivable-trade of ¥6,213 million.

Liabilities were ¥131,912 million, a decrease of ¥1,666 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in bonds payable of ¥15,000 million and a decrease in commercial papers of ¥12,500 million.

Net Assets were ¥63,182 million, an increase of ¥160 million from the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year. This was mainly due to

an increase in foreign currency translation adjustment of ¥1,100 million and a decrease in retained earnings of ¥1,026 million.

(3) QUALITATIVE INFORMATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL FORECAST

We expect that the global economy will overall continue to recover, with ongoing recovery for the time being in the US, moderate expansion of the Chinese economy in spite of concerns about weak stock and real estate markets and an overall slowdown in growth, and an ongoing recovery of the economy in Europe thanks to steady personal consumption in spite of concerns about the impact of the Greece debt crisis. We also forecast a moderate recovery trend in the Japanese economy as personal consumption recovers amid ongoing improvements in employment circumstances and income conditions. Under these circumstances, the Company will strive to reinforce the sales of its existing products, steadily expand the demand for new functions and products in strategic markets relating to environmentally-friendly and energy saving and green energy, and develop its supply capability to keep up with increased orders received by expanding its capacity for wafers supply and strengthening its capacity for semiconductor assembly processes. Through these measures, the Company will make
concerted efforts to achieve the group plan for fiscal 2015.
