While we will withdraw from keyboard production and sales, we will continue to manufacture membranes (keyboard parts). Although I cannot announce any details yet, we have been looking into various alternative business developments employing membranes, which could lead to new products and a new outlook for the future.
We will record 1.1 billion yen in losses due to business restructuring this third quarter, while deferred tax assets will increase by 4.8 billion yen in the fourth quarter due to accumulated tax losses. Even though we will withdraw from keyboard production and sales, the EMS (Electro Mechanics Solution) business unit will continue to oversee R&D and production of new input devices that integrate the technology used in keyboards, lighting devices, wireless devices and measuring components. EMS will also focus on membrane technologies to develop new products.
