In the fiscal year 2007, which was the company's commemorable 80th anniversary, Nippon Gohsei achieved two years ahead of schedule the targeted turnover (more than JPY100bn) and the operating income (more than JPY7bn). I believe that the achievement is attributable to the fact that we have unflaggingly created and developed a number of unique merchandises, leveraging the pioneering and technology-focused spirit, which has been accumulated over a long period of history, as well as enthusiasm imprinted on our mind.

With a new medium-term management plan targeting in 2012, Nippon Gohsei will establish a new core business and promote to enhance the operating base, which ensures the safe and steady production giving consideration to the environment as well as product quality.

On behalf of Nippon Gohsei, I ask for your continued support and encouragement in the future.
