1. Analysis of Business Results

(1) Overview of the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 (three months ended June 30, 2007)

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, despite a downturn in the U.S. economy owing mainly to a slowdown in the housing sector, the global economy experienced moderate growth overall, with sustained high growth in China, and steady growth in Asia and Europe.

The Japanese economy also enjoyed continued steady growth due to a sustained increase in capital expenditures, amid an improvement in business results and a recovery in consumer spending, as a result of an improvement in the employment environment.

Amid this business environment, NEC recorded consolidated sales of 1,007.8 billion yen for the first quarter, a decrease of 23.7 billion yen (2.3%) year on year. Despite an increase in sales, in the Information Technology (“IT”)/Network Solutions business, particularly of network systems to enterprises and telecom carriers overseas, the year on year decrease is mainly due to the streamlining of the Mobile Terminal business overseas and the sale of the personal computer (“PC”) business in Europe in the second half of the previous fiscal year by the Personal Solutions business, in the Mobile/Personal Solutions business.

Regarding profitability, operating income rose by 3.4 billion yen (42.5%) year on year, to 11.3 billion yen. This was due to a decrease in loss owing to streamlining of the Mobile Terminals business overseas and an increase in income from increased development efficiencies in the area of Mobile Terminals in the Mobile/Personal Solutions business, despite a drop in profit in the IT/Network Solutions business due to a change in the product mix in the area of Network Systems.

NEC recorded an improvement in non-operating income and expenses of 2.1 billion yen year on year, mainly owing to an improvement of 4.5 billion yen in foreign exchange gains and losses, despite a worsening of 3.4 billion yen in equity in earnings and losses of affiliated companies. As a result, ordinary income increased by 5.5 billion yen year on year, to 8.2 billion yen.

Income before income taxes and minority interests was 12.0 billion yen, an amount in line with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in special gains of 5.7 billion yen year on year, as a result of the recording of 6.5 billion yen in gains on transfer of securities to the pension trust in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, despite an increase in ordinary income.

NEC recorded consolidated net income of 1.0 billion yen, an increase of 0.7 billion yen year on year.


(2) Results by business segments (including inter-segment transactions and profit/loss figures)

Sales and operating income of NEC’s main segments were as follows (figures in brackets denote increases or decreases as compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year):

IT/Network Solutions Business

 

Sales:

   572.5 billion yen      (+4.2%)

Operating income:

   15.6 billion yen      (-14.1 billion yen)

Total

   572.5    549.5    +4.2
              

Sales of the IT/Network Solutions business for the three months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to 572.5 billion yen, an increase of 22.9 billion yen (4.2%) year on year.

Sales by products and services were as follows:

The area of IT Services/System Integration recorded sales of 159.9 billion yen, an increase of 9.4% year on year, due to a steady increase in sales to most sectors including the financial sector. In addition, in the area of Network Systems, sales increased by 9.1% year on year, to 247.4 billion yen, as a result of good sales of network systems to enterprises and telecom carriers overseas. On the other hand, in the area of IT Platforms, sales fell by 8.9% year on year, to 111.4 billion yen, mainly owing to the impact of the transfer of the sales function of optical disc drives and the effect of large server orders in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. In the area of Social Infrastructure, sales remained flat year on year at 53.8 billion yen.

Operating income decreased by 14.1 billion yen (47.5%) year on year, to 15.6 billion yen. This was mainly due to a change in the product mix in the area of Network Systems.


Mobile/Personal Solutions Business

 

Sales:    211.3 billion yen      (- 16.8%)
Operating income:    9.6 billion yen      (Improvement of 25.8 billion yen)

Sales of the Mobile/Personal Solutions business for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were 211.3 billion yen, a decrease of 42.7 billion yen (16.8%) year on year.

Sales by products and services were as follows:

In the area of Mobile Terminals, sales were 84.0 billion yen, a decrease of 10.0% year on year, due to streamlining of overseas business. In the area of Personal Solutions, sales fell by 20.8% year on year, to 127.3 billion yen. This was mainly due to the sale of the PC business in Europe.

Operating income improved 25.8 billion yen year on year, to 9.6 billion yen. This was due to completion of structural reform of overseas business in the area of Mobile Terminals, which put an end to expanding losses, and to increased development efficiencies.


Electron Devices Business

 

Sales:

   205.9 billion yen      (+ 0.2%)

Operating loss:

   4.4 billion yen      (-0.3 billion yen)

Sales of the Electron Devices business for the three months ended June 30, 2007 remained flat year on year at 205.9 billion yen.

Sales by products and services were as follows:

In the area of Semiconductors, sales increased 5.1% year on year, to 173.6 billion yen, owing mainly to an increase in sales of semiconductors for game consoles and PCs. In the area of Electronic Components and Others, sales amounted to 32.3 billion yen, a decrease of 19.7% year on year, due to a decrease in sales of small-sized LCDs, despite steady growth in the electronic components market overall.

Although there was a decrease in operating loss owing to an increase in sales in the area of Semiconductors, in addition to a decrease in research and development expenses, the Electron Devices business recorded an operating loss of 4.4 billion yen, an amount in line with that of corresponding period of the previous fiscal year, due to a decrease in sales in the area of Electronic Components and Others.

Note

The results for the area of Semiconductors are the official public figures of NEC Electronics Corporation, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The difference that arises as a result of the adjustment to Japan GAAP is included in Electronic Components and Others.


2. Analysis of Financial Condition

(1) Analysis of condition of assets, liabilities, net assets, and cash flow

Total assets were 3,583.4 billion yen as of June 30, 2007. This was a decrease of 148.3 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. Current assets as of June 30, 2007 were 1904.0 billion yen, a decrease of 143.7 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to collection of notes and accounts receivable, trade. Although investment securities increased 11.6 billion yen owing to an increase in unrealized gain accompanying an upturn in the market value, fixed assets decreased 4.6 billion yen due to a decrease in tangible fixed assets of 8.5 billion yen and in long-term deferred tax assets of 8.1 billion yen.

Total liabilities as of June 30, 2007 were 2,333.7 billion yen, a decrease of 157.8 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year, mainly as a result of the payment of notes and accounts payable, trade. The balance of interest-bearing debt was 869.5 billion yen as of June 30, 2007, an increase of 10.2 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. Debt-equity ratio as of June 30, 2007 was 0.83 (no change as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year). The balance of interest-bearing debt (net) as of June 30, 2007, obtained by offsetting the balance of interest-bearing debt with the balance of cash and cash equivalents, amounted to 467.4 billion yen, an increase of 31.4 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. Net debt-equity ratio as of June 30, 2007 was 0.45 (a worsening of 0.03 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year).

Total net assets as of June 30, 2007 were 1,249.6 billion yen, an increase of 9.5 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. As a result, owner’s equity ratio as of June 30, 2007 was 29.2% (an improvement of 1.4 points as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year).

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 1.8 billion yen, an increase of 29.3 billion yen year on year. Although there was a decrease in cash received owing to a fall in sales, this was mainly due to a decrease in cash used in payment of material costs as a result of cost reductions.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 26.1 billion yen, an improvement of 16.8 billion yen year on year. This was mainly due to cash provided by the transfer of business and a decrease in cash used for acquisition of stock of affiliated companies. As a result, free cash flows (the sum of cash flows from operating activities and investing activities) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were cash outflows of 24.3 billion yen, an improvement of 46.1 billion yen as compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 2.0 billion yen. This was mainly due to the redemption of bonds and the payment of dividends, despite the issuance of commercial paper. As a result, cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2007 amounted to 402.1 billion yen, a decrease of 21.3 billion yen as compared with the end of the previous fiscal year.

3. Financial Forecast

There is no change to the forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, previously disclosed on May 21, 2007.

4. Others

(1) Significant changes in scope of consolidation

There are no significant changes in scope of consolidation for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

(2) Adoption of concise accounting policies

Parts of physical inventory are omitted. Concise accounting methods have been adopted for the part of the retirement benefit obligation, depreciation expenses and others.

(3) Changes in accounting methods from most recent consolidated fiscal year

In accordance with changes in corporate tax law, some domestic subsidiaries adopted the (new) 250 percent declining-balance method for tangible fixed assets acquired after April 1, 2007, where the depreciation rate is calculated by multiplying the depreciation rate of the straight-line method by 2.5.

The change had little effect on the consolidated statement of operations and segment information.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:

This material contains forward-looking statements pertaining to strategies, financial targets, technology, products and services, and business performance of NEC Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “NEC”). Written forward-looking statements may appear in other documents that NEC files with stock exchanges or regulatory authorities, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and in reports to shareholders and other communications. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains, and other applicable laws may contain, a safe-harbor for forward-looking statements, on which NEC relies in making these disclosures. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “aims,” or “anticipates,” or the negative of those words, or other comparable words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, beliefs, plans, targets, or intentions. Forward-looking statements necessarily depend on currently available assumptions, data, or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and NEC may not be able to realize the results expected by them. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect NEC’s analysis and expectations only. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include (i) uncertainty relating to NEC’s ongoing analysis necessary to prepare the financial statements for inclusion in the 2006 Form 20-F, (ii) global economic conditions and general economic conditions in NEC’s markets, (iii) fluctuating demand for, and competitive pricing pressure on, NEC’s products and services, (iv) NEC’s ability to continue to win acceptance of NEC’s products and services in highly competitive markets, (v) NEC’s ability to expand into foreign markets, such as China, (vi) regulatory change and uncertainty and potential legal liability relating to NEC’s business and operations, (vii) NEC’s ability to restructure, or otherwise adjust, its operations to reflect changing market conditions, and (viii) movement of currency exchange rates, particularly the rate between the yen and the U.S. dollar. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for NEC to predict these events or how they may affect NEC. NEC does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The management targets, included in this material, are not projections, and do not represent management’s current estimates of future performance. Rather, they represent targets that management will strive to achieve through the successful implementation of NEC’s business strategies.

Finally, NEC cautions you that the statements made in this material are not an offer of securities for sale. The securities may not be offered or sold in any jurisdiction in which registration is required absent registration or an exemption from registration under the applicable securities laws. For example, any public offering of securities to be made in the United States must be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and made by means of an English language prospectus that contains detailed information about NEC and management, as well as NEC’s financial statements.
