* The above Sales and Operating income breakdown are calculated based on the location of the Seller (each shipping division) and includes interarea sales and transfers. Therefore, the figures do not match the Sales breakdown of the "net Sales by Resion".

 In the Americas, sales of bearings to the general machinery sector and precision machinery are expected to remain at current levels or slightly decrease due to the slow speed of economic recovery. However, we expect to be able to offset this with increased sales of automotive bearings and components, and believe we will be able to achieve an increase in overall profits.

 We expect the same sales trend in Europe. As the result of our business restructuring activities and increased local production of EPS systems, we expect to be able to reduce our operating losses. Please refer to the next slide.
