2 To Our Shareholders In new product development, we succeeded in developing a number of new products as planned, and they are competitive with the best in the industry in terms of performance, energy saving and reliability, as described below. In manufacturing, we began production of servo amplifiers in addition to power supplies, stepping motors and servo motors in the third factory of SANYO DENKI PHILIPPINES, INC. To Our Shareholders 1 I would like to take the opportunity of the publication of our 114th Semiannual Business Report to say a few words to you. The SANYO DENKI Group has been carrying out structural reforms since the beginning of the last fiscal year in an effort to deliver products and services that boast uniform high quality to customers around the world. Additionally, we have been working to have the Group companies around the world perform the same functions as the parent company in Japan. Specifically, we have established technical centers at each base and have introduced a uniform system in terms of accounting, internal rules and the development of human resources across the Group. However, in the second quarter a sharp slowdown in the Chinese economy significantly impacted the factory automation industry, one of our major markets. The Company s operating results for the interim period ended September 3, 215 are described below. For the interim period, we declared cash dividends of 9. per share, an increase of 1. compared with the same period last year. We thank you for your continued support and understanding of the Group. December 215 Shigeo Yamamoto CEO / President & COO In May 215 we established a new local subsidiary, SANYO DENKI INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, in Chennai, the gateway to southern India.

8 Review of Operations Review of Consolidated Operations 7 During the six-month period ended September 3, 215, the overall Japanese economy was stagnant despite the continuous but weak recovery in capital expenditures, and mainly due to the impact of economic slowdown in China. In this economic climate, demand weakened from manufacturers of machine tools, robots, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other capital-intensive equipment the Company s primary customers. As a result, consolidated net sales for the six-month interim period under review decreased 1.3% year on year, to 4,41, while consolidated operating income fell 14.9%, to 3,41. Consolidated ordinary income declined 2.5%, to 3,141, and net income attributable to SANYO DENKI amounted to 1,959, representing a 31.2% drop from the previous six-month period. The amount of orders received decreased Net Sales (after adjustment*) 4,41 YoY.% Down 16.6%, to 4,228, and the order backlog fell 26.1%, to 12,544. Previously, in preparing the consolidated financial statements, the necessary adjustments for consolidated accounting were made using the financial statements of 14 overseas consolidated subsidiaries as of three months earlier. Effective from the fiscal year ended March 31, 215, however, to prepare the most up-todate consolidated financial statements, we have changed our accounting method to use the financial statements of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries for the same period as that of the Company. Accordingly, the results for the interim period ended September 3, 214 include the three-month results from January 1 to March 31, 214 of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries. Operating Income (after adjustment*) 3,41 YoY 3.1% Down Ordinary Income (after adjustment*) 3,141 YoY 1.9% Down Net Income Attributable to SANYO DENKI (after adjustment*) 1,959 YoY 22.7% Down Order Received 4,228 YoY 16.6% Down Order Backlog 12,544 YoY 26.1% Down * The figures have been restated as a year-on-year change after adjustment compared to the six-month results for the interim period of the previous fiscal year that excluded the three-month results from January 1 to March 31, 214 of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries.

10 Operating Results by Business Segment Net Sales Composition Net Sales by Business Segment Review of Consolidated Operations Electrical Works Contracting Division 2.6% Electrical Equipment Sales Division 9.8% Servo Systems Division 49.4% Cooling Systems Division 26.8% Power Systems Division 11.4% 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, 842 2,56 1,915 4,776 8,921 67,67 5,945 18,1 2,766 5,274 21,45 1, /3 215/3 87,14 8,491 4,17 29,666 1,96 4,429 3,647 31,371 14,27 12,42 19,781 14,324 1,58 4,41 3,962 19,962 4,618 1,89 215/9 First half Full year 9 Note: Net sales for the year ended March 31, 215 are shown as the operating results that exclude the results of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries from January 1 to March 31, 214. Cooling Systems Division San Ace, SANYO DENKI s brand name for cooling systems products, experienced increased demand from the telecommunications and network industry. Conversely, reflecting sluggish demand both for power conditioners for photovoltaic generation systems from the environment industry and for machine tools from the factory automation industry, orders received declined. As a result, net sales decreased 15.3% year on year, to 1,89. The amount of orders received fell 15.3%, to 1,739, and the order backlog climbed 4.7%, to 2,862. Power Systems Division SANUPS, SANYO DENKI s brand name for power supply equipment, saw stagnant demand for power conditioners for photovoltaic generation systems due mainly to the increased time necessary for system interconnection deliberation. On the other hand, we enjoyed brisk demand for power conversion supplies from the telecommunications and network sector, stimulating new demand from other industrial sectors. Accordingly, net sales fell 13.3% year on year, to 4,618. The amount of orders received decreased 8.3%, to 6,114, and the order backlog declined 3.7%, to 3,782.

11 Servo Systems Division SANMOTION, SANYO DENKI s brand name for servo system products, enjoyed strong demand for domestic capital expenditures. In contrast, orders received declined due to a decrease in demand from domestic manufacturers of machine tools and robots exported to China, and sluggish demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, in addition to a significant drop in demand caused by the economic slowdown in China. Consequently, net sales decreased 1.2% year on year, to 19,962. The amount of orders received fell 2.7%, to 18,26, and the order backlog declined 17.4%, to 4,294. Electrical Equipment Sales Division Sales of industrial electrical equipment, control equipment and materials for electric equipment showed signs of stagnation in machine tools, the industrial robots-related market and the medical-related equipment market, despite steady growth in the general industrial equipment market. Demand remained healthy for equipment for control panels for photovoltaic generation systems. In the steel-related market, which saw stable demand, abundant orders were received for the replacement of outdated equipment for production facilities. We saw strong demand for spare parts for critical equipment necessary to maintain stable operations. Regarding business transactions that were made as an agent, net sales and cost of sales were recorded as total amounts for the year ended March 31, 215, but we changed the method of recording the net amount of net sales and cost of sales (subtracting the cost of sales from net sales) from the beginning of the fiscal year under review. Consequently, net sales increased 8.6% year on year, to 3,962. The amount of orders received fell 15.4%, to 4,138, and the order backlog dropped 8.3%, to 837. Review of Consolidated Operations 1 Electrical Works Contracting Division As for works related to steel mill plant equipment, renewal construction works for superannuated production equipment and repair works for facilities maintenance progressed as expected. Conversely, regarding works related to total construction including equipment installation, and construction design of photovoltaic generation systems, we experienced a slight decline in orders received from new customers due to the reduced purchase price of photovoltaic generation power. As a result, net sales declined 3.5% year on year, to 1,58. The amount of orders received fell 5.8%, to 1,28, and the order backlog decreased 1.4%, to 767. Note: With regard to net sales and orders received for the first three segments above, from the Cooling Systems Division to the Servo Systems Division, the year-on-year change between the six-month results for the interim period of the previous fiscal year, excluding the results of the overseas consolidated subsidiaries from January 1 to March 31, 214 and the results for the interim period ended September 3, 215, is as follows: Net sales Cooling Systems Division: up 1.7%, Power Systems Division: down 12.4%, Servo Systems Division: up.9%. Orders received Cooling Systems Division: up 1.8%, Power Systems Division: down 7.5%, Servo Systems Division: down 11.1%.
