Notes:

1): Percentages for net sales and operating income indicate the rate of increase or decrease compared with the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. Moreover, because Konica Minolta only just started publication of quarterly business results, the change from the previous fiscal year compared with two fiscal years past is not presented.
2): Diluted net income per share for the quarter (the period under review) has also been omitted because there was no residual stock.

Reference:

On August 5, 2003, the Company became Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc., a newly integrated holding company formed by an exchange of shares between Konica Corporation and Minolta Co., Ltd. However, because, under standardized accounting, the merger is being handled as occurring as of September 30,2003, the listed figures for the nine months ended December 31,2003 do not include Minolta's results for the corresponding period and annual results for fiscal year ended March 31,2004 do not include Minolta's results for the first half of the fiscal year. To accurately present the current state of the Konica Minolta Group, aggregate totals for fiscal year ended March 31,2004, including Minolta's first half results, are as follows:

	Net sales		Operating income		Recurring profit		Net income
	Millions of yen	%	Millions of yen	%	Millions of yen	%	Millions of yen	%
