1. Business Performance

1. Consolidated Results of Operations

(1) Business Overview

Although the Japanese economy showed signs of recovery from the recent economic and financial slowdown, the business environment surrounding the KONAMI CORPORATION and its subsidiaries (“KONAMI”) continued to be severe. This was due to factors such as restrained consumer spending and consumer preferences for low-priced items and goods.

In regard with the entertainment industry, the Nintendo 3DS, and in consoles, new products for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 offering new ways to operate and play video games were unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 (E3), which was held in the US in June 2010. They attracted great attention not only in Japan but in the overseas market as well, mainly in North America and Europe. Furthermore, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the home video game market became favorable so that it responded to “Year of Sports” festivities when soccer fans were becoming even more passionate than usual.

Meanwhile, a severe business environment persisted for major casino operators in Las Vegas and elsewhere. However, there are some promising signs overseas, including an increase in the number of U.S. states that are lifting their gaming bans as part of measures to turn around ailing state finances and the legalization and opening of casinos in Singapore.

In the health and fitness industry, heightened interest in and demand related to the maintenance and promotion of good health is expected to continue into the future due to the aging population as well as concern over lifestyle diseases.

Against such backdrop, Digital Entertainment segment of KONAMI rolled out the latest titles in home video game software series, such as the METAL GEAR series, METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER and Winning Eleven (known in the US and Europe as PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER) series on multiple platforms. Those sales progressed favorably.

As for the Gaming & System segment, KONAMI continued to reinforce product rollout and marketing with a focus on the Podium.

In the Health & Fitness segment, we increased the number of new fitness clubs under KONAMI’s direct management and expanded the portfolio of fitness clubs outsourced to us. At the same time, we reinforced the marketing of health products, drove forward the computerization of health management and strove to expand and enrich services, both within and outside our facilities, supporting the promotion and maintenance of good health.

In terms of the consolidated results for the three months ended June 30, 2010, net revenues amounted to ¥53,183 million (a year-on-year decrease of 5.0%), operating income was ¥2,879 million (a year-on-year increase of 187.9%), income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated company was ¥2,452 million (a year-on-year increase of 171.2%), and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION was ¥1,265 million (a year-on-year increase of 244.7%).

Digital Entertainment

Computer & Video Games business: METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER, the first sequel in the METAL GEAR series for the PSP, was launched in Japan in April 2010, and in North America and Europe in June 2010. Sales of this title progressed steadily, with the game receiving favorable reviews—it became the first PSP title to receive a perfect score of 40 points in an industry magazine’s cross review. Furthermore, co-op modes, etc., which leverage the characteristic features of handheld gaming devices, are being well received by hardcore METAL GEAR fans.

Meanwhile, WORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven 2010 Aoki Samurai no Chosen was launched on multiple platforms in May to coincide with the once-every-four-years festivities that excite soccer fans worldwide. This title includes the ‘Japan Challenge Mode,’ which has the Japanese national team competing to become No. 1 in the world. Steady sales were recorded for this game in Japan, while the re-launch of PES 2010 - Pro Evolution Soccer, also saw solid sales in Europe and the Americas (with a focus on South and Central America).

LOVEPLUS, which preceded the new romance communication game LOVEPLUSPLUS that was released in June, created a big social phenomenon in Japan. The game features a new twist—enjoying daily life with a girlfriend whose heart the player has captured. The major attention LOVEPLUS received from various media outlets was recognized by the MM Research Institute, with the title receiving the High Profile Award at the MM Research Institute Contest 2010. The sequel, LOVEPLUSPLUS, achieved a larger first week sales volume than the volume marked by its predecessor. Furthermore, the LOVEPLUSPLUS boom is continuing to heat up as the game is rolled out in a variety of other forms, including the simultaneous serialization of an adaptation over five comic magazines published by Kodansha as well as through the sales of related products, such as figurines.

In Japan, the realistic professional baseball game PUROYAKYU SPIRITS 2010, which, for the first time in the series, is now also available for the PSP, was launched on multiple platforms in April. Meanwhile, the academy romance simulation game for women TOKIMEKI MEMORIAL Girl’s Side 3rd Story and the new animated title FAIRY TAIL PORTABLE GUILD were launched in June, both recording strong sales.

Amusement business: Sales of medal games launched in the previous fiscal year remained healthy. Furthermore, the PASELI e-money service, which was launched in March with QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY VII, was expanded in April to include MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB GARYOTENSEI.

Card Games business: Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game series continuously sold well.

Overseas, an undertaking in the US utilizing DanceDanceRevolution to fight obesity is expanding, and sales of the series’ titles are progressing robustly. As for the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 (E3), which was held in the US in June, KONAMI exhibited high-profile games such as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the latest in the Castlevania series created with the assistance of Kojima Productions, which is known for the METAL GEAR series. Also exhibited was PES 2011 - Pro Evolution Soccer, the latest title in the Winning Eleven series and the first video game in the world to include Copa Libertadores, the soccer tournament that determines the top club team in South America. The exhibits at the trade fair helped foster high expectations and focus on upcoming KONAMI game content.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 in this segment amounted to ¥25,016 million (a year-on-year increase of 1.7%).

Gaming & System

In the North American market, the Podium continues to enjoy favorable sales. Sales through participation agreements (in which profits are shared with casino operators) increased and are steadily expanding market shares. Full-scale marketing is also under progress in Europe and Central and South America, building a distributor network for the market.

In the Australian market, the Podium progressed favorably. The introduction of the Konami Casio Management System in the market also contributed to the improvement of KONAMI revenues. In the Asia market as well, full-scale marketing is under progress, building a distributor network for the market.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 in this segment amounted to ¥4,346 million (a year-on-year increase of 11.2%).

Health & Fitness

Operation of fitness clubs: A difficult business climate persisted in the fitness club industry as consumer spending remained under pressure due to uncertainty over the future economic climate, price-competition progressed further and the increase in the number of fitness clubs made it difficult to recruit new members. Against such backdrop, KONAMI opened two facilities in April: one in Niigata (Niigata City) and another in Kami-Ooka (Yokohama City). Both fitness clubs are located in complexes that are directly connected to train stations, and they are proving popular for such features as unique studio programs and excellent bathing facilities. Furthermore, we promoted the development and enrichment of services that meet the characteristics of each community where our fitness clubs are located as well as boosted the content of the instruction provided at the fitness clubs’ golf schools by introducing digital golf simulators, which are receiving positive customer feedback.

We also developed and introduced new health programs utilizing IT, that is KONAMI’s strengths, in health management, exercise and nutritional guidance, and provided upgraded services to our customers, whose health consciousness is on the rise.

Operation of sports facilities outsourced to us: In the management of facilities outsourced to KONAMI, we added 30 facilities, including the health promotion center at the area for general health in the Toyooka City (Hyogo Prefecture) and the Kitakyusyu City sports facilities (Fukuoka Prefecture), to the portfolio during the three months, and we continued to promote the health of community residents by making use of KONAMI’s know-how and experience in the operation of public facilities, etc.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 in this segment amounted to ¥21,428 million (a year-on-year decrease of 0.0%).

3. Outlook for Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2011

Digital Entertainment

In digital entertainment, we will continue to focus on the expanding overseas video game software market. We plan to launch Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Winning Eleven (known in the US and Europe as PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER) series, which was exhibited at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 (E3) to great response, worldwide.

Regarding music games, which continue to enjoy perennial popularity in North America and Europe, we plan to launch a varied lineup, such as the latest title in the DanceDanceRevolution series for which demand is now also increasing for use in the promotion of physical fitness; the karaoke game Karaoke Revolution Glee, which is based on the highly popular musical comedy TV series “Glee” broadcast in the US on Fox Broadcasting; and Def Jam Rapstar, in which famous artists have collaborated with his/her record label. Furthermore, we will also devote our efforts to the online marketing of titles for the increasing number of game consoles with network connectivity as well as mobile phones and mobile terminals.

In arcade games, we are scheduled to launch the much-awaited gun-action warfare game METAL GEAR ARCADE, which makes use of 3D visuals. Furthermore, in addition to new titles in such popular series as MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB, BASEBALL HEROES and QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY, we plan to launch new titles while keeping an eye on the market environment. As for the PASELI e-money service, which was launched this spring to help boost demand, we will sequentially expand the number of arcade cabinets, including those for music games, through which the service can be used, and we will continue to propose innovative services that drive the arcade industry. As for popular content, we will pursue high synergy through multifaceted development that is not restricted to home video game software, arcade games or card games.

Gaming & System

In slot machine marketing, regarding steppers, we will continue to implement the aggressive marketing of the Advantage 5 series which is enjoying popularity. Regarding video slot machines, we will carry out product development with a focus on the Podium, which is a standard series, and seek to improve our sales.

The Konami Casino Management System continues to be adopted in the North American and Australian markets, particularly by major operators. In the future, we intend to aggressively market the system in other markets, develop new functions, pursue strategic alliances with other companies, and reinforce the system’s strength as a product. Furthermore, we intend to stabilize our operational results in this segment by increasing the amount of steady, periodical income through expansion of participation agreement (profit sharing with operators) sales.

KONAMI intends to further reinforce collaboration between its three bases – the United States, Australia and Japan – and promote the efficiency of our operations and reinforce our production and sales. Furthermore, we intend to develop new products that respond to changes in society and meet demands and enhance the added-value of existing products. We will continue to use KONAMI’s strengths in the domain of entertainment as the foundation for proposing new products that will bring even greater enjoyment to our customers.

Health & Fitness

Market conditions are expected to remain harsh for the health and fitness segment. However, we believe that opportunities for the operation of fitness clubs and the development and marketing of health and fitness equipment will continue to increase with heightened social awareness, against the backdrop of an aging society and government measures taken against lifestyle diseases, of promoting good health. Under such circumstances, KONAMI strives to accurately grasp diversifying customer needs and aim to enhance the added-value of Konami Sports Clubs by proposing new lifestyles.

We intend to offer extensive programs that meet the various needs of customers of all ages—from children to adults—by opening facilities at highly convenient locations in communities that promise to become a center of various people’s lives, adopting fitness equipment such as golf training programs, which utilize the latest digital golf simulators, the BODYBIKE (stationary bicycle), which allows body fat to be burned while pedaling to music, and programs like the LES MILLS PROGRAMS (group exercise), which is featured in 75 countries around the world, and an enriched and expanded Undojuku (sports school), based on the concept of physical and mental training as well as self-development.

We plan to promote our health and fitness business by leveraging our strengths in the operation of more than 300 of Japan’s largest-scale sports clubs, rolling out new facilities that meet regional characteristics and customer needs, expanding our products and services and by creating synergy through the enrichment of the programs offered at the facilities, the computerization of health management and the upgrading, the expansion of our product lineup and other efforts.

Projected consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 are as follows: net revenue of 285,000 million yen; operating income of 24,500 million yen; income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated company of 22,500 million yen; and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION of 13,500 million yen. Thus, there is no change from the forecast figures released in the “Consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2010” dated May 13, 2010.

Konami, as a business affected by “hit” products, requires flexibility in how its products are released and is subject to fluctuations in sales throughout the course of the year. For this reason, projected consolidated results for the six months ending September 30, 2010 are not disclosed.

As for the disclosure of quarterly financial results, we will continue to make an effort to provide them as thoroughly as possible.

Special Note:

This document contains “forward-looking statements,” or statements related to future events that are based on management’s assumptions and beliefs in light of information currently available. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make investments, you should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Actual results may be affected by a number of important factors and materially different from those discussed in forward-looking statements.
