Despite all the upsides, there were some significant downsides that brought our first fiscal half earnings lower. In addition to the slow recovery of the HDD spindle motor business, the rotary components business suffered sluggish performance due to the poor sales performance of some of our motor products.

Losses widened for brush DC motors, vibration motors and precision motors as well. Lackluster sales of vibration motors were simply due to the drop in production yield triggered by the launch of a new product for a large customer, which generated a loss of almost 100 million yen per month. This is a setback due to an isolated incident, and earnings will improve once the production of that particular product ends.

The deficit in brush DC motors was due to the appreciation of the ringgit, the currency of Malaysia where our production operations are based, as well as a delay in our new S series products.
The performance of precision motors, which are mainly used in automobiles, is still reeling from the impact of the sluggish sales and R&D activities we experienced a few years ago. New product launches for the automobile industry always take time. I will explain more about how these motor products will do later on.
