[Note] Percentage for net sales, operating income etc. show increase (decrease) from previous third quarter period.
With respect to the handheld game products of the electronic entertainment division, both "Nintendo DS" hardware and software recorded very strong sales for the nine month period ended December 31, 2006. "Nintendo DS" hardware has been the fastest rising game platform ever in the Japan market, and, in addition, has sold well in overseas markets. As a result, sales in the first three quarters have reached 18.88 million units
on a worldwide basis. As for ” Nintendo DS” software, net sales have also accelerated, supported by a number of millon-seller titles. Sales have been led by "New Super Mario Bros.", with 8.64 million units sold on a worldwide basis and continuing strong sales of "Touch! Generations" titles such as "Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!" and "Nintendogs".
In the console business, "Wii" hardware (launched at the end of last year) got off to a favorable start and “Wii” software titles such as "The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess" enjoyed brisk sales as well.
As a result, net sales rose to 712.5 billion yen (72.8% up y/y), causing operating income to reach 167.6 billion yen (102.5% up y/y) despite a rise in selling, general, and administrative expenses, which was primarily driven by higher marketing expenses. Income before income taxes and extraordinary items was 220.7 billion yen (50.5% up y/y) primarily due to 26.0 billion yen (45.2 billion yen last nine-month period) of
foreign exchange gains. Net income reached 131.9 billion yen exceeding last year by 43.1%.

Total assets as of December 31, 2006 increased by 326.1 billion yen compared to the previous fiscal year-end to 1,486.8 billion yen, mainly due to the increase in notes and trade accounts receivable resulting from the recent boost in net sales.
As for consolidated cash flows, net cash from operating activities increased by 115.0 billion yen primarily due to subtracting the payment of income taxes from the income before income taxes and minority interests. Net cash from investing activities increased by 54.0 billion yen primarily due to proceeds from time deposits exceeding the transfer payments for deposits. Net cash from financing activities decreased by 49.3
billion yen primarily due to the payment of cash dividends. As a result, net cash and cash equivalents during the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 increased by 146.3 billion yen versus the beginning of the reporting period to 763.5 billion yen.
