Analysis of Operating Results

Operating results for this period

During the consolidated fiscal year, the Japanese economy remained in a tough situation, especially in employment conditions, although there were signs of gradual recovery in manufacturers’ production in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

In the pachinko business, a part of the amusement industry in which the Daikoku Denki Group (“the Group”) is engaged, there was a growing concern over a decrease in the visitors and operation of pachinko halls because pachinko hall operators in some regions suspended operations by rotation to respond to the shortage of power supply after the earthquake. However, no major impact was seen in the pachinko business in May and afterward. Some pachinko hall operators made small-scale capital investments during their non-business days, which led to a continuous shift from pachinko game machines to popular pachislot game machines.,. On the other hand, since the “Revision of Administration Policy on Advertisement Regulations” issued by the Community Safety Bureau, the National Police Agency became effective in August 2011, operators have shown a reluctant movement toward advertisement and event implementation in hall operations.

According to the “Present Status of Businesses Affecting Public Morals in 2011” surveyed by the Community Safety Bureau, the National Police Agency, the total number of installed game machines was 4,582,784, as a result of a decrease of 55,962 units in pachinko game machines and an increase of 84,346 units in pachislot game machines. Under these market environments, the Information System Segment promoted several proposals including, in particular, “BigMO,” a data display tool, plainly communicating a game element of diversified pachislot to the fans, “IL-AW,” a call-out lamp and “C II,” a hall computing system that serves as a core system.

The Control System Segment sought to improve the quality and efficiency of development operations and strove to propose hardware and software projects in game machines.

As a result, the Company’s cumulative consolidated results for the year were ¥47,096 million in net sales(up 36.6% year-on-year), ¥3,525 million in operating income (up ¥3,298 million year-on-year), and ¥3,541 million in ordinary income (up 894.1% year-on-year).Consolidated net income for the year amounted to ¥1,663 million (up ¥2,005 million year-on-year).

Business results by segment are as follows.

Information System Segment

During the consolidated fiscal year, the Information System Segment promoted expansion of “C II Standard,” a hall management service system using the MIRAIGATE network. “BiGMO,” a data display tool, was highly regarded along with the introduction of large-sized models of pachislot game machines, which also contributed to the introduction of “C II,” a hall computing system.
As a result, sales in the segment were ¥25,741 million (up 9.6% year-on-year), and segment income was ¥4,793 million (up 57.3%year-on-year).

Control System Segment

During the consolidated fiscal year, the number of models ande unit sales of pachinko game machines decreased until September 2011 in the pachinko game machines market, due to shortage in the supply of semiconductors affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, as the models in which t the Control System Segment were engaged received positive reviews in the market, the unit sales continues to surge.
As a result, sales in the segment were ¥20,463 million (up 115.5%year-on-year), and segment income amounted to ¥873 million (up ¥1,902 million year-on-year).

Amusement Content Segment

During the consolidated fiscal year, the Amusement Content Segment was mainly engaged in the development of large-sized models in consumer games that were ordered in the previous consolidated fiscal year. As a result, sales in the segment were ¥905 million (down 42.0%year-on-year), and segment loss amounted to ¥289 million (down ¥230 million year-on-year).

(Note) Figures of segment results include intersegment transactions.

Outlook for the next consolidated fiscal year

The Japanese economy is expected to recover, reflecting the effects from several policies taken by the government. However, the Group anticipates that the future outlook for the economy will remain uncertain due to concerns about rising crude oil prices, power supply restrictions, etc.

Given such market environments, the Group forecasts the Information System Segment to achieve sales of ¥28 billion, up 8.8% from the preceding fiscal year. The segment, through data display tools including BiGMO, which received a high evaluation, will try to improve the quality of hall environments for fans, and also will try to establish a follow-up structure for hall management utilizing network services. The Group forecasts the Control System Segment to achieve sales of ¥26 billion, up 27.1% from the preceding fiscal year. The Control System Segment will make efforts to improve performance by enhancing planning and proposal capability and pursue of development quality through a review of the structure. The Group forecasts the Amusement Content Segment to achieve sales of ¥1 billion, up 10.5% from the preceding fiscal year. The segment will aim to improve development capability so as to increase entrusted development.

As a result of these initiatives, the Group forecasts consolidated net sales of ¥55 billion (up 16.8% year-on-year), consolidated operating income of ¥4 billion (up 13.5% year-on-year), consolidated ordinary income of ¥4 billion (up 12.9% year-on-year), and consolidated net income of ¥2.3 billion (up 38.3% year-on-year).
