1. Operating results (1) Analysis regarding operating results (i) Overview of the fiscal year under review (from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012)

In the global economy, the uncertain situation continued despite steps toward gradual recovery in the U.S., mainly because of the stagnation in most European countries resulting from the sovereign debt crisis as well as the weakening pace of growth in China. In the Japanese economy, the business environment faced by the domestic manufacturing industry continued to be extremely severe as a result of deterioration in the export climate mainly due to the strength of the yen last year and this year, weak personal consumption, electric power problems, and high crude oil prices, among other factors. This was despite of the economy recovering gradually in line with restoration and reconstruction following the Great East Japan Earthquake. The environment surrounding the NEG Group was increasingly severe day by day as customers made substantial downward revisions to production levels amid continuing adjustment in the market. In this environment, even though our business performance showed signs of moderate recovery in the first quarter (from April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011), it slowed in the second quarter (from July 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011) as the business environment became more severe. From the third quarter (from October 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011), our business performance declined steadily, mainly because of further deteriorating situations for many product fields, price declines, and having to implement production adjustments. Furthermore, in the fiscal year under review, impairment loss on production facilities was recognized for the glass for plasma display panels (PDP) business. As a result of the above, our performance in the fiscal year under review was substantially lower than that of the previous fiscal year.

(Net sales) Glass for electronic and information devices: Sales of glass for flat panel displays (FPDs) switched to a gentle recovery in the first quarter but then slowed in the second quarter due to the effect of production adjustments by customers. From the third quarter, product prices declined because there was little improvement in supply and

demand, and sales were weak overall as a result. Sales of glass related to optical products were generally firm on the back of communications infrastructure demand in emerging countries, despite signs of an adjustment phase in the second and third quarters. Regarding sales of cover glass for image sensors, increased shipments for digital single lens cameras compensated for a slump in sales for compact digital cameras. Sales of substrate glass for solar batteries were favorable. Glass for others: For glass fiber, the pace of sales from the beginning of the fiscal year under review exceeded that of the previous fiscal year thanks to solid overseas demand for its application in auto parts. Even so, sales slowed down towards the fiscal year-end due to an adjustment phase that started in the summer. Regarding sales in the business areas of heat resistant glass, building materials and others, the recovery that had started in the housing industry and related markets lost its tempo, and there was also weakening production in some fields. As a result, sales remained weak overall.

(Profits) Factors constraining profits included declining sales and falling prices, as well as lowered capacity utilization resulting from production adjustments to reduce inventory and the execution of facility repairs and improvements and other works, while productivity improvements took longer than initially expected. Profits were also under downward pressure from increased depreciation and amortization costs and fuel costs. In addition, loss related to the competition law with respect to glass for color cathode ray tubes and impairment loss on production facilities for glass for PDPs were recorded under extraordinary loss. Also, the NEG Group conducted a reversal of deferred tax assets following a tax revision. As a result of the above, profits were significantly lower than those of the previous fiscal year.

(iii) Outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 (Billions of yen) Three months ended

June 30, 2011 Three months ending

June 30, 2012 Change (%)

Net sales 95.7 70.0 - 80.0 (27) - (16) Operating income 28.0 2.5 - 7.5 (91) - (73) Ordinary income 27.5 1.5 - 6.5 (95) - (76) Net income 13.6 0.5 - 3.5 (96) - (74)

Note: Amounts less than 100 million yen are omitted. The current uncertain situation is expected to continue, primarily with respect to movements in the global economy but also including raw material and fuel prices and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Under such an environment, in the business of substrate glass for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), our core business, a structure has been developed to facilitate an efficient response to future demand. This has been achieved with the start up of facilities to accommodate the thinning of glass substrates and the completion of a series of facility repairs. In addition, demand is recovering in the electronic devices related field and glass fiber, among others. In view of this background, the NEG Group’s business performance is expected to recover gently, having bottomed out in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year under review (from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012). As such, although the business performance in the next quarter (the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013; from April 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012) is not expected to reach the level of the same period of the fiscal year under review, both sales and profits are expected to show improvements on the fourth quarter of the fiscal year under review. Regarding future prospects, there are concerns about further declines in product prices due to intensified competition in the our customers’ industry sectors and demand trends, while macroeconomic conditions may have an adverse impact on business performance on the cost front, and as a result, on an overall level the business environment is forecast to continue to be severe. However, the NEG Group’s business performance is expected to continue on a gentle recovery track in the second quarter (from July 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012), thanks to the expected effects of productivity improvements.

(Concerning Disclosure of Earnings Forecasts) In addition to the disclosure of information according to the standards for timely disclosure stipulated by the stock exchanges, the NEG Group provides earnings forecast for current reporting period as described in the table below, aiming to deliver earlier and more appropriate earnings information to investors.

Disclosure schedule Earnings forecast for current reporting period

(cumulative basis) (disclosure of numerical figures)

Late June Three months Late September Six months Late December Nine months

Late March Full year Note: The outlook for the next reporting period (three-month basis) will be disclosed with the quarterly financial results

report, which is disclosed at the time the quarterly earnings results are announced. The forward-looking statements, including earnings forecasts, contained in these materials are based on certain assumptions deemed to be reasonable by the NEG Group and include risks and contingencies. Actual business results may differ substantially due to a number of factors. Factors that may impact actual business results include the economic conditions of global markets, various rules and regulations such as those concerning trade, significant fluctuation of supply and demand of products in principal markets as well as the financial situation showing extensive changes in prices on capital markets and extensive changes in exchange rates between the yen and other major currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the Euro, interest rates and rapid technological advancement. Factors not mentioned here also could have a significant impact on business results.

(2) Analysis regarding financial position (i) Overview of consolidated financial position for the fiscal year under review (Billions of yen)

As of March 31, 2011 As of March 31, 2012 Change

Total assets 692.6 687.0 (5.6) Liabilities 224.5 211.3 (13.2) Net assets 468.0 475.7 7.7

Note: Amounts less than 100 million yen are omitted. (Total assets) In current assets, cash and deposits decreased, mainly due to the payment of capital for facilities. In addition, due to a fall in sales, while there was a decrease in notes and accounts receivable trade, merchandise and finished goods increased. Apart from these movements, there was a decrease in deferred tax assets. Regarding fixed assets, although there was impairment on production facilities for glass for PDPs, there was an increase in production facilities mainly for glass for LCDs, and tangible fixed assets increased as a result. Furthermore, deferred tax assets under investments and other assets increased following the above-mentioned impairment loss. (Liabilities) Regarding current liabilities, there was an increase in other under current liabilities under current liabilities mainly due to an increase in accounts payable-other in connection with facilities, despite a decrease in income taxes payable due to the payment of tax and a decline in profit in the current period. In noncurrent liabilities, provision for special repairs increased, while there was a decrease in long-term loans.

(Net assets) Although retained earnings increased, there were decreases in both valuation difference on marketable securities due to stagnation in the stock market, and foreign currency translation adjustments from the erosion of investments into overseas subsidiaries due to appreciation in the yen.

(ii) Overview of consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year under review (Billions of yen)

Fiscal year ended March 31, 2011

Cash flows from operating activities 133.3 83.7 (49.6)

Cash flows from investing activities (96.8) (79.8) 17.0

Cash flows from financing activities (11.7) (14.7) (3.0)

Period-end cash and cash equivalents 116.3 105.2 (11.1)

Note: Amounts less than 100 million yen are omitted. Cash flows from operating activities Net income before income taxes decreased substantially, while there was an increase in inventories. As a result, there was a decline in proceeds compared to the previous fiscal year, despite a decrease in income taxes paid. Cash flows from investing activities There was a decrease in expenditure compared to the previous fiscal year mainly because of a decline in expenditure resulting from acquisition of fixed assets. Cash flows from financing activities While there were increases in proceeds from long-term loans and others, there were also expenditures including the repayment of short-term loans and dividend payments. As a result, there was an increase in expenditure compared to the previous fiscal year.

(3) Basic policy on allocation of profits and cash dividends for this fiscal year and next fiscal year (Basic policy) While ensuring adequate retained earnings to provide for reinforcement of the Company’s financial standing and future business development, the Company decides on the amount of dividend payment based on a basic policy of maintaining a long-term and stable return of profits to shareholders that is not significantly affected by fluctuations in earnings, but it also takes the financial situation etc. into consideration. Regarding the funds from retained earnings, the Company aims to fulfill the expectations of shareholders through boosting its corporate value by appropriating retained earnings funds for future research and development and future business expansion. (Year-end dividend) The Company shall present the year-end dividend payment of 8 yen per share (which combined with the 7 yen per share interim dividend makes an annual dividend of 15 yen per share, an increase of 2 yen from the previous fiscal year) for approval at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on June 28. (Dividend forecast for the next fiscal year) Both the interim dividend and the year-end dividend are expected to be 8 yen per share, respectively (annual dividend of 16 yen per share), an increase of 1 yen from the fiscal year under review.
