1. Business Performance

1. Analysis of Business Performance

(1) Business Overview

Although the economic environment remains uncertain due to a variety of factors including the Japanese government’s recent decision to raise the consumption tax, the business environment surrounding the Konami Group shows positive signs as personal consumption is expected to rebound due to the anticipated effects of government stimulus, improvement in the export environment prompted by the continuing depreciation of the yen, and optimism following the news that Tokyo will host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In overseas markets, while there is uncertainty surrounding emerging markets, including the slowing growth rate in China, the European and U.S. economies have shown signs of recovery, including indications of a gradual recovery in the U.S. and signs that problems surrounding sovereign debt in Europe have begun to stabilize to some extent.

In the entertainment market, with improving performance in mobile devices due to the rapid spread of smartphones and tablet PCs and the development of information and telecommunications infrastructure, game platforms continue to diversify while next-generation game consoles are being introduced and business opportunities in the game industry are increasing. The gaming business is expected to continue to grow. In overseas markets, the development of tourist resources will help to spread the casino market internationally, while in Japan, the decision to hold the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo increased expectations that the Japanese government will pass legislation to legalize casinos.

In the health and fitness industry, there is a growing health consciousness throughout society, especially among senior citizens and women, who year after year have shown an increasing tendency to focus their leisure activities on improving health and physical strength. We continue to see growing health-consciousness, a preference for sports and an interest in preventing the need for nursing care in old age.

Against this background, in the Digital Entertainment segment of Konami Group, content for social networks, includingDRAGON COLLECTION, continued to grow. Meanwhile,METAL GEAR SOLID: THE LEGACY COLLECTION andWORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven 2014 (known in the U.S. and Europe asPro Evolution Soccer 2014), the latest title in theWORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven series, were also released, andMonster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE sold steadily.

In our Health & Fitness segment, based on the concept “you can continue”, we updated our services for Konami Sports Clubs and we introduced a new pricing plan, which enables customers to select a pricing plan based on the number of times they use our facilities. We also made it easier for customers to use more than one facility. These efforts have been received favorably in the market.

In our Gaming & Systems segment, sales of products such as thePodium video slot machine and theAdvantage mechanical slot machine series continued to be received favorably mainly in the U.S. market.

In the Pachinko and Pachinko Slot Machines segment, we launched a new product of pachinko slot machines calledContra 3D.

In terms of the consolidated results for the six months ended September 30, 2013, net revenues amounted to ¥97,928 million (a year-on-year decrease of 8.2%), operating income was ¥3,771 million (a year-on-year decrease of 70.0%), income before income taxes and equity in net income of affiliated company was ¥4,217 million (a year-on-year decrease of 63.3%), and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION was ¥2,016 million (a year-on-year decrease of 71.0%).

Digital Entertainment

Content for social networks includingDRAGON COLLECTION, SENGOKU COLLECTION,Professional Baseball Dream Nine series andCROWS×WORST—Saikyou Densetsu - continued to enjoy steady sales and contributed to our revenue. We also began to distribute new titles includingCROWS×WORST—Dynamite -, Sencolle Kizuna Cross for the Japanese market and Star Wars™: Force Collection for the overseas markets on application stores in more than thirty countries, including the U.S. and U.K. These titles received favorable reviews.

As for computer and video games,METAL GEAR SOLID: THE LEGACY COLLECTION has sold well in both the Japanese and overseas markets. We released the latest title in theWORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven series, WORLD SOCCER Winning Eleven 2014 (known in the U.S. and Europe asPro Evolution Soccer 2014), and it has also enjoyed stable sales.

Amusement arcade video games continued to generate stable revenues due to the stable operation of the e-AMUSEMENT Participation system and the large-scale mass-medal arcade games. We also began to distribute an application for smartphones,MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB Sp from theMAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB series. This application is expected to contribute to increasing revenues by creating synergies with amusement arcade machines. In addition,Monster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE andDRAGON COLLECTION -The Ambition of The Pepper Gang received significant attention following the announcement that they would be turned into an anime, resulting in a boost to the market value of the titles.

TheYu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME series, developed in the global market, continued to perform strongly and contributed to our revenue due to its strong popularity in various parts of the world.

Health & Fitness

In our Konami Sports Clubs, with growing health consciousness among consumers and stronger interest in preventing the need for nursing care in old age, we set a vision, called “Total Health Partner”, with the aim of establishing ourselves as not only providing places for exercise but also becoming the most reliable provider of a wide range of health and body services for all of our customers, from children to senior citizens. In addition, we upgraded our services with a new concept called “so you can continue everything”, which promotes continuing a healthy lifestyle, one of the most important ways to achieve health.

Responding to customer demands for “easier ways to access and continue our services” and for “more customized pricing plans”, we introduced new pricing plans which enable customers to select a plan based on the number of times per week they need to use our services to meet their goals at their pace. These plans also enable customers to easily use more than one facility. In addition toMY Fit Planner, a counseling system offering the most suitable training method and a continuous fitness life plan for each customer, we added a new way for customers to check the frequency of their training in order to offer training programs which let even light-using customers continue easily and experience the effects of their training. Moreover, we also began to offer programs other than training programs in our facilities that allow customers to train in their homes and began providing nutrition advice in order to help enhance our customers’ overall health.

We also introduced personal programs for customers who need to reduce stress and relax their mind and body. For example,Personal Stretch strengthens health in order to help customers enjoy everyday life and better endure injuries and stress.Core Training helps to comfortably build up daily physical strength and strengthen customers’ cores, regardless of age or sex. These programs aim to respond to the various needs of our customers.

InUndo-jyuku, the school programs for children, we changed the name ofjunior funk, a series of dance lesson programs for children, toDancing Stars and reworked the concept of the programs with a focus on dancing in order to grow the body and mind. With the increasing demand for dancing schools since dancing became a required subject of the compulsory education curriculums in Japan, we are offering step-up style dance programs to meet each goal, from beginners to children who would like to develop their skills. We also fully redesigned our dance recitals asDancing Stars’ Dance Challenge, where children can demonstrate their progress. We intend to continue to support dance and healthy growth for children.

With respect to the management of facilities outsourced to Konami Group, using the know-how and accomplishments in operation and guidance accumulated over the years, we commenced management of 16 facilities including public sports facilities in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Oita City, Oita Prefecture. We are working to promote the health of residents in local communities through the operation of public facilities in all regions.

In terms of financial performance, consolidated net revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2013 in this segment amounted to ¥38,583 million (a year-on-year decrease of 4.3%).

In the North American market, thePodium video slot machine, which has become a staple item, and theAdvantagemechanical slot machine series continued to enjoy favorable sales. We expanded our lineup of premium products, which have been met with high expectations from players, by introducing products such asPodium Goliath, which increased the size ofPodium, a product that is subject to a participation agreement (in which profits are shared with casino operators). We also launchedSYNKROS, a new-generation Konami Casino Management System enhanced with various new functions.

In the Oceania market, we continue to distributePodium. Full-scale marketing is also in progress in Asia, Central and South America and Europe, where we are working on building distribution networks.

At Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2013, we displayed a diverse range of gaming machines, each boasting what we believe is tremendous entertainment value, includingPodium Goliath,Dragon’s Law andSolstice Celebration (both created for 3D-compatible next-generation platformKP3), and the large-sized multi-station cabinetTitan 360.

3. Outlook for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2014

Digital Entertainment

With the spread of smartphones and tablet PCs worldwide, the available means of providing game software continue to diversify, and opportunities to reach an even greater audience for game software are increasing. Against this background, our belief is that we can increase the number of “outlets” for the Konami Group’s game content by taking advantage of opportunities presented by the emergence of new devices and developing our business around game content. We intend to develop ways of playing games that match the characteristics of each device.

As for content for social networks, we are further focusing our managerial resources on the development of content that we believe will become major hits in order to produce more hit content. Looking ahead, we will continue to expand our lineup, utilizing previously established production and operational expertise and rich content resources. We also intend to develop more for new global platforms not only for markets in the U.S. and Europe but also for Asian markets. We also plan to enhance new releases with attractive content by creating synergies with established content.

As for computer and video games, we will focus our efforts on continued global development utilizing the production know-how of the Konami Group, while also continuing the production of content for selected existing AAA titles, and continue to strive towards producing hit titles by leveraging existing content. We also opened a new Los Angeles Studio in September 2013 as one of our production studios in the entertainment industry heartland of Los Angeles. In this way, we intend to enhance local production systems in order to develop localized content tailored to the needs of our overseas game users as quickly as possible. In addition, for ourWinning Eleven series, we are currently developing a specialized soccer game engine, based on FOX ENGINE, to provide a more realistic soccer game experience.

As for amusement arcade machines, Konami Group intends to work to revitalize the amusement arcade industry by providing entertainment that can be enjoyed only at an amusement facility through “interpersonal communication” using the e-AMUSEMENT system. We intend to propose innovative services that will lead the industry. This will involve promoting the continual development of equipment compatible with the eAMUSEMENT community site services, the PASELI e-money service and e-AMUSEMENT Participation, which are currently in operation, as well as enhancements to and the expansion of various services. Such enhancements include products and services with our strong content forMonster Retsuden ORECA BATTLE andDRAGON COLLECTION -The Ambition of The Pepper Gang with the aim of further improving content-value. The market reception of these titles is expected to increase even further following the decision to develop “anime” cartoon series based on these titles.

As for card games, we will continue the global development of theYu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME series.

Health & Fitness

In our Health and Fitness business, we will continually aim to accurately grasp the needs of our increasingly diverse customer base and offer a new lifestyle with the aim of creating value-added Konami Sports Clubs. The public has become more aware of the importance of health and fitness as Japan’s population continues to age and the government takes measures to combat lifestyle diseases and develops new plans for boosting the healthy-aging industry as part of a governmental growth strategy. We believe that we will be able to continue to operate fitness clubs and develop and market health and fitness equipment, while also continuing to promote good health in the future to various types of potential customers in various age ranges.

Amidst the growing demands from various types of customers, we intend to update our studio programs for Konami Sports Clubs. We intend to develop the following three low-intensity studio programs in order to help prevent locomotive syndrome, decreases in mobility.Step Up uses slow-paced up and down movements to build customers’ physical strength and burn fat.Locomo Fit promotes youthful bodies and mobility by training the entire body, with a special focus on the thigh area.Locomo Coreuses core training to improve posture and mobility.

By leveraging our strengths in the operation of more than 300 of Japan’s large-scale sports clubs, we intend to update our services as a “Total Health Partner” with our concept “you can continue”, which is one of the most important ideas in achieving health by helping customers to maintain and enhance their health in various situations whether in or outside our facilities. We also intend to establish ourselves as the most reliable partner in daily life for all of our customers in every aspect of their health and body.

Gaming & Systems

In regard to slot machine sales, we will promote the strengthening of sales together with product expansion, focusing onPodium video slot machines, which have received positive reviews, and slot machines mounted withKP3, a software-controlled next generation platform capable of real-time, high-resolution 3D graphics. For our mechanical slot machines, we will continue to aggressively promote sales of theAdvantage series. Furthermore, we intend to stabilize our operational results by increasing periodical income through the expansion of participation agreements, including with respect to the large-size multi-station cabinetTitan 360, as part of our strategy of profit sharing with operators and adequately respond to the market as well as enhance sales and address the needs of casino operators by expanding our products. In the Asian, Central and South American and European markets, we plan to continue to develop sales by adapting to local needs.

Furthermore,SYNKROS, which is a brand-new and new-generationKonami Casino Management System enhanced with various new functions, has received positive reviews by major operators at various trade shows and business conferences.

Pachinko & Pachinko Slot Machines

None

2. Adoption of simplified methods in accounting principles for quarterly consolidated financial statements:

None

3. Changes in accounting principles, procedures and reporting policies:

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Effective April 1, 2013, KONAMI has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. ASU 2013-02 requires the presentation of the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, and to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. This ASU only updates disclosure requirements.

Change in Depreciation Method

Previously, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries had principally used the declining-balance method for computing depreciation expense of property and equipment. Effective April 1, 2013, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries changed their depreciation method to the straight-line method in order to appropriately reflect recent changes in the business environment. In the Health & Fitness Segment, management has decided to limit new capital expenditures for additional facilities and has begun implementing a new strategy to improve retention for the longer-term membership. This will enable the Company to achieve a more stable utilization of the existing facilities. In addition, in other segments, the products and services have generally begun generating consistent revenue and the centralization and enhancement of the production and manufacturing systems have resulted in a change in the pattern of consumption, and it better reflects the future economic benefit from the usage of the property and equipment. The effect of the change in depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”.

As a result of the change in depreciation method, depreciation expense for the six months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by approximately ¥375 million, and net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION and basic net income attributable to KONAMI CORPORATION per common share increased by ¥232 million and ¥1.68, respectively.
