The Japanese economy for this nine months period of the fiscal year ended

Under such conditions, Nipro has focused on Research and Development and
conducted active sales activities.

amounted to 142,256 million yen, operating income amounted to 10,066 million
yen, recurring income amounted to 8,049 million yen and net income amounted to
