Imaging Solutions (3rd Quarter Fiscal 2008 Earnings)

Demand for color films and digital minilabs continued to decrease, but rise in sales in color papers led by the increase of digital camera print volumes restrained the decrease in the Imaging Solutions segment's consolidated revenue from the level in the same period of the previous fiscal year to only 7.2%, and this revenue amounted to ¥443.7 billion.

Operating income for the segment amounted to ¥16.0 billion. Although the segment's operating profitability was negatively affected by the stubbornly high price of the silver, this was offset by our progress in improving the segment's cost structure through such structural reform measures as those aimed at reorganizing manufacturing systems and streamlining workforces. The improved operating profitability also reflected the benefits of yen depreciation.
