5 1. Operational Results (1) Analysis of Operational Results Overview of Consolidated Results Previous Year (Year ended March 31, 2011) Ratio Current Year (Year ended March 31, 2012) Ratio Change Change Net sales 130, , Operating income 18, , Ordinary income 19, , , Net income 9, , , Earnings per share (yen) The business environment in Japan continued under significantly uncertain conditions during the year ended March 31, Business activities and consumer buying behavior were slowed down by the tremendous damages resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake in March The accidents at Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant and the electric supply shortage associated with those accidents also affected economic activities. Under those circumstances, the Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Group unified its efforts toward the recovery of Sendai Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a production subsidiary stricken by the earthquake, demonstrating its management philosophy to provide good comfort to people and society. To maintain a stable product supply to the extent practicable, other production sites within the Group took over the production of the quake-stricken subsidiary until it could be restored. As a result of our unified efforts, the subsidiary resumed full production operations in June. We also continued to introduce products and services that will create new markets, serve newly discovered needs of customers and vitalize the market. As a result of these efforts, the Company achieved consolidated net sales of 131,166 million yen, an increase of 342 million yen (0.3%) from the previous year. Operating income increased by 677 million yen (3.6%) to 19,298 million yen, and ordinary income increased by 1,082 million yen (5.7%) to 20,092 million yen. Consolidated net income for the year ended March 31, 2011 totaled 11,726 million yen, an increase of 2,390 million yen (25.6%) from the previous year. The following is an overview of segment performance. Consumer Products Business 17 new items were introduced during the year, with the aim of creating new markets and expanding existing markets. Sales of Atto-Non, an ointment to minimize wound scarring, and Tomarina, a medicated toothpaste to prevent gum recession, among other new products, were very strong and contributed to the business growth of the Company. Among existing products, sales of Eye-Bon (medicated eyewash) Inochi-No-Haha (health medication for women) and Shoyo (medicated toothpaste to prevent alveolar pyorrhea) were strong, contributing to overall sales growth. Since consumer consciousness regarding electricity saving has become strong, sales of Netsusama Sheet (forehead-cooling pads), Netsusama Hinyari Gel Mat (cooling gel mats), Shirt Cool (lasting spray to coat clothing with cooling agent) and other coolness products were strong in summer and sales of body warmers were strong in winter, contributing to overall sales growth. Sales of air fresheners and deodorizers declined, however, mainly because Sendai Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. introduced a distribution quota system (under which it allocated daily shipments by customer) until its quake-stricken production line recovered from the damage. The Consumer Products Business also actively implemented sales promotion, advertisement and other marketing activities. Consequently, net sales by the Consumer Products Business segment for the current year increased by 1,631 million yen (1.5 %) from the previous year to 112,423 million yen. Segment profit (ordinary income) decreased by 398 million yen (-2.2%) to 17,546 million yen. Operating income decreased by 649 million yen (-3.4%) to 18,317 million yen

The segment actively placed advertisements and implemented sales promotion activities, mainly via direct mail, seeking new customers and repeated purchases by existing customers. Consequently, the Mail Order Business segment recorded net sales of 10,380 million yen, an increase of 508 million yen (5.1%) from the previous year, and segment profit (ordinary income) of 137 million yen, a decrease of 180 million yen (-56.7%).

Although companies in this business segment operate individually on a financially independent basis, their business purposes also include contributing to the profits of the three core businesses of the Group. Accordingly, their delivery prices of materials and services to the three core businesses were reviewed and revised as necessary. Consequently, this segment recorded sales of 6,254 million yen, a decrease of 6 million yen (-0.1%) from the previous year, and segment profit (ordinary income) of 1,233 million yen, an increase of 569 million yen (85.8%).

The Company will actively invest in overseas businesses and the mail order business, both of which are expected to grow significantly, for further sales expansion. Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2013 are as follows: Consolidated net sales are expected to total 132,000 million yen, an increase of 833 million yen (0.6%) from the year ended March 31, It is expected that operating income will increase by 701 million yen (3.6%) to 20,000 million yen and ordinary income will increase by 807 million yen (4.0%) to 20,900 million yen. Consolidated net income is expected to total 12,500 million yen, an increase of 773 million yen (6.6%). Forecasts by segment are as follows: In the Consumer Products Business segment, consumer buying appetite has declined, consumers preferring low-priced items. To satisfy these latent needs and create new demand, we introduced 15 new value-added items this spring, including Cleansil (innovative enteral environment-improving drug with medicated charcoal), Shoshugen Aroma Pot (deodorizer with real aromatic fragrance) and Head Cool (head cooling spray, useful for instant head cooling in hot summer). We will also engage in active sales activities for existing brands, based on our marketing plan for each brand. In overseas business, we will implement a sales strategy for expanding sales of body warmers, Netsusama Sheet (forehead cooling pads) and other products. By implementing these efforts, we expect that net sales by the Consumer Products Business segment in fiscal 2012 will increase by 6,676 million yen (5.9%) to 119,100 million yen, and that segment profit (ordinary income) will increase by 1,053 million yen (6.0%) to 18,600 million yen. Operating income is expected to total 19,300 million yen, an increase of 982 million yen (5.4%). In the Mail Order Business segment we will develop new products, mainly in the nutritional supplement and skin care product areas.

Operating income is expected to total 400 million yen, an increase of 267 million yen (201.4%). In the Medical Devices Business segment, 80% of shares of Kobayashi Medical Co., Ltd. are scheduled to be assigned to Mitsubishi Corporation on May 31, Upon completion of this transaction, the status of Kobayashi Medical will change from a consolidated subsidiary to an affiliate reported by the equity method. We expect that as a result of this status change, net sales by the Medical Devices Business segment in fiscal 2012 will decrease by 8,176 million yen (-78.0%) to 2,300 million yen, and that segment profit (ordinary income) will decrease by 534 million yen (-40.0%) to 800 million yen.
