Management comments from Yoichi Wada, President and Representative Director:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 'DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: Joker 2' was released in April and became a million seller (1.25 million units). This success, combined with the continued strength of big titles including 'FINAL FANTASY XIII' and 'Just Cause 2' launched in the U.S. and Europe in March, contributed to favorable earnings in the quarter.

As we continue to strengthen our existing businesses in the second quarter and beyond, we are also vigorously pushing forward our mid- and long-term growth strategies of globalization, becoming 'network centric' and strengthening our own-IPs.
