Open System Infrastructure Business

Net sales 8,883 million yen, up 15.4％ YoY
 Sales of LifeKeeper*, which is the Group's
core product developed in-house, increased
year on year in Japan, as did sales of
software products sourced from Red Had
Inc.* This was partly because we received
project orders ahead of schedule and partly
because we received several large project
orders from new clients.
 OSS*-related products also achieved a solid
increase in sales.

Net sales 5,957 million yen, down 0.6％ YoY
 Revenues from the provision of support for
system development and implementation,
primarily to educational institutions, achieved
solid growth.
 Revenues from our core software applications
for MFPs*, which were developed in-house,
declined. This was because an increasing
number of corporate users had switched from
a perpetual licensing model to a subscription
model* for these applications.

Segment income
Loss of 8 million yen, compared with an
income of 4 million yen the year before
13
 A year-on-year increase in revenues from the
provision of support for system development and
implementation to educational institutions had a
positive impact on the segment income. In
addition, income from the provision of support for
system development and implementation to financial
institutions was up due to the absence of unprofitable
projects that had affected negatively the profitability
of this segment the previous fiscal year.
 These favorable factors were more than offset by the
declined revenues from software applications for
MFPs, and, as a result, the segment loss increased
from the previous year.
