1. Qualitative Information on Quarterly Financial Statements (1) Operations Explanation A summary of the Company operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year under review is as follows. In the electronic components industry, many companies engage in the construction and adjustments of new production lines as well as the trial production and testing of new products, in preparation for the full-scale production of new model smartphones which will commence in this fall. The Company reported growth in the sales of electroless gold plating chemicals for thin coating for the motherboards of new model smartphones and hard gold jet plating chemicals for micro-connectors, and expects further growth in the following fiscal years. Meanwhile, demand for PCs, which had been declining due to the growing demand for smartphones, increased as PCs for office use and cloud servers were updated in conjunction with the introduction of new OS. Consequently, sales of pure gold plating chemicals for semiconductor packages and hard gold plating chemicals for rigid and flexible substrates increased mainly overseas after a long time. As a result, the Company recorded sales of 2,339,437 thousand, which decreased by 6.5% year-on-year, operating income of 315,399 thousand, an increase of 37.3% year-on-year, ordinary income of 343,833 thousand, up 36.1% year-on-year, and net income of 240,878 thousand, which increased by 33.1% year-on-year.
