New product developments such as the TAURUS Plus, a combination machine able to produce DVD/R as well as CD-R through simple conversion, contribute to strengthening the business and defending the international market position. We expect the segment Recordable Optical Disc to be able to achieve a positive result for the full-year 2007. New orders in the 2nd quarter and the current demand for machines in the segment Advanced Process Equipment make us confident for the future development of this division. We expect HamaTech APE to make a positive earnings contribution in the fiscal year 2007.
