We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all shareholders for your

ongoing support of PALTEK CORPORATION.

Review of Fiscal Year 2012

In the electronics industry, where the PALTEK Group operates, fiscal year

2012 was a year of sharp contrasts, displaying both bright spots and

shadows in terms of customers and the product market. It was a year that

tes ted the adaptab i l i t y o f the bus iness . For example , in the

telecommunication infrastructure market, the rapid spread and expansion of

smartphones and tablet devices was accompanied by vibrant activity,

whereas in the AV equipment market, competition heated up with the rise of

overseas manufacturers, while the industrial applications market was sluggish due to the economic slump in

Europe and weakened growth in emerging countries.

In this market environment, while the PALTEK Group performed strongly in sales targeting telecommunication

infrastructure, sales aimed at medical equipment and industrial applications declined. As a result, net sales

amounted to 13,231 million yen (a 19.2% decrease compared to the previous period).

In terms of profit and loss, although we carried out reductions in selling and administrative expenses, an

operating loss of 317 million yen (operating income of 221 million yen for the previous period) was posted.

This was due to a decline in net sales, a rise in cost of sales associated with a decrease in yen valuation of

purchase discount due to yen appreciation, along with lower gross profit margin resulting from the write-

down of products whose salability had declined.

With regard to ordinary income or loss, although a foreign exchange gain of 145 million yen was posted for

the consolidated fiscal year under review, an ordinary loss of 185 million yen (ordinary income of 198 million

yen for the previous period) was recorded. In terms of net income or loss, a net loss of 106 million yen (net

income of 48 million yen for the previous period) was posted, mainly due to 46 million yen recorded as

restructuring loss.

In these circumstances, recognizing that improving the earning capacity of the semiconductor business is

an urgent task, the PALTEK Group has been resolutely carrying out a reform of the business structure since

the latter half of fiscal year 2012.

Implementation of concentration and streamlining of management resources

Since the latter half of fiscal year 2012, the PALTEK Group has engaged in efficient allocation and use of management resources, with waste eliminated. We have identified highly profitable products, and signif icant ly revised assignment of human resources. In the PLD business, we have promoted a fur ther increase in added value through combinations with other products.

Furthermore, we have carried out drastic revisions in costs, achieving reductions of approximately 220 million yen in selling and a d m i n i s t r a t i v e e x p e n s e s a t t h e PA LT E K CORPORATION alone, bringing down the break-even point considerably.

Getting on track for growth through improved profit in the semiconductor business

The PALTEK Group believes that we can expect growth from fiscal year 2013 onwards through stabilization of profits in the semiconductor business.

Performance has been favorable in the design service business, which is becoming a stronger presence in high value-added designs. In order to enhance this business as a PALTEK Group strength, Explorer Inc., a superior company in design such as image processing, was added to the Group in July 2012. As a result, we are leveraging this business to draw up plans for ver t ica l expans ions o f “ in -house product development” etc., which are currently being put into practice.

The smart energy business is a frontier business not included within the framework of the electronics industry; taking advantage of telecommunications and other technologies built up in the electronics industry, it responds to the needs of society as a whole. We believe that this business can exert the true value of PALTEK, as a company that has combined the seeds of various technologies from around the world with the many needs of Japanese electronics manufacturers.

I was raised in Saroma-cho in Hokkaido, and grew up amid its bitter winter cold. Even in such severe

winters, when the temperature falls below freezing, there are plants growing in the snow-covered ground, patiently awaiting springtime, that will put forth beautiful, vividly-hued flowers when the season comes.

Likewise, the PALTEK Group is continuing its efforts in an adverse environment, and we will work to further improve management and to increase profitability so that, like these blooming flowers, PALTEK will be able to overcome this difficult period and make great strides forward.

I would like to ask all our shareholders for their continued support and understanding as we move the PALTEK Group forward.

The Japanese electronics industry is experiencing

extremely fierce global competition due to the

emergence of new forces in the Asian countries.

However, even in that context, we believe that Japan

has retained its competitive advantage, and will

continue to do so, in business domains in which it

excels such as industrial applications, automotive-

related, and medical equipment.

Looking at the domestic market, it is believed that

demand related to reconstruction and investment in

social infrastructure will continue, and we will expand

and improve our solutions targeting these markets

that will grow in the future.M

The PALTEK Group will further hone its strengths,

and increase its competitive advantage, in order to

raise profitability and thereby overcome the harsh

business environment.

To that end, we will work on the following two

points:

1) Expanding and improving solutions for growth

markets

2) Enhancing the design service business and

expanding the business domain

Approach to growth marketsBy concluding distribution agreements with major

semiconductor manufacturers in 2011 and 2012, the

PALTEK Group has been able to propose even more

products in major markets which we could not cover

fully previously. We will continue to accelerate

proposals aimed at growth markets.

Expanding the business domainThe addition of Explorer Inc. to the PALTEK Group

will propel our design service business to the next

stage. For one, we will promote the ODM business*

utilizing Explorer’s image compression and image

processing technologies, as well as fabless business

knowhow; secondly, this will allow us to make a full-

fledged entry into the in-house product business with

video and image processing-related products, etc.

With the full-scale launch of the ODM business, we

will be able to accept manufacturing contracts for

mass produced products, and further expand our

business results. In addition, we can exert synergistic

effects by incorporating PALTEK products at the time

of design, thus contributing to increased profitability

in the semiconductor business.

manufacturing which consists not only of the production of products

under the brand name of the ordering company, but also the design

Enhancing the design service businessIn comparison with the semiconductor business, the

design service business is highly profitable, with

gross profit margin exceeding 40%. Applications of

contracted design cover a broad range of markets in

which Japan excels, and that have potential for future

growth. Additionally, in order to enhance the design

service business, Explorer Inc., a company with

strengths in image processing solutions, was added

to the Group in July 2012, considerably bolstering

our design development capacity. Accordingly, we

are predicting net sales of over 1.0 billion yen for

fiscal year 2013.

Outlook for fiscal year 2013

From the economic perspective for Japan in fiscal year 2013, signs of recovery can be seen as a result of demand related to reconstruction after the earthquake, and the shift from an extraordinary appreciation of the yen to a weaker yen against the dollar. However, some uncertainty is expected to remain due to concerns about factors for a potential downturn such as the ongoing financial crisis in Europe and the rising price of energy.

The electronics industry, in which the PALTEK Group operates, is marked by tough conditions including intensifying global competition resulting from the appearance of new manufacturers in emerging nations. Even so, there is a prospect of moderate recovery, which is likely to be driven by the shift from an extraordinary appreciation of the yen to a weaker yen against the dollar, the adoption of smarter approaches in energy conservation and energy systems to deal with electricity shortages and the te lecommunicat ion in f rast ructure investments to cope wi th the increase in communication traffic.

In such an economic environment, regarding the PALTEK Group’s focus fields, efforts will be directed toward continuing to expand sales through technical support for customers connected with the telecommunication infrastructure and industrial applications fields, while moving ahead with cultivation of middle-level and small-to-medium size enterprise customers. In addition, we will expand sales by increasing sales of products from the three major semiconductor manufacturers with whom we entered into distribution agreements in recent years. Furthermore, in the design service business, to which PALTEK has dedicated efforts in the past several years, the repeat customer segment is increasing, and the business is in the process of steady growth. Also, with the addition to the Group of Explorer Inc. in July 2012, we have built a foundation that will allow us not only to handle contracted design, but also to receive ODM contracts and to expand in-house product business with video and image processing-related products, etc., thus advancing the business in order to further increase its degree of contribution to profitability.

Business results forecast for fiscal year 2013

Through these efforts, our consolidated full-year results forecasts are for 14.5 billion yen in net sales, 150 million yen in operating income, 120 million yen in ordinary income, and 72 million yen in net income. Regarding dividends, we plan to distribute a term end dividend of 5 yen per share.

“Competent mediators” needed now more than ever

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all shareholders for your ongoing support of PALTEK CORPORATION.

The environment surrounding the electronics industry remains harsh amid buffeting global waves. I see these waves not as a temporary phenomenon limited to the electronics industry, but as the start of the collapse and reform of existing industry structures, triggered by the energy crisis that arose after the earthquake in March 2011. Existing organizations, including cities and towns, are facing problems that cannot be resolved by acting within the traditional framework of our industries. Now, as those problems have become evident, it is indeed the dawn of a revolution giving birth to new business needs that transcend the framework of business categories.

The ability to adapt to the waves of this revolution will be an essential condition for companies to survive into the next generation. I believe that the type of company demanded in this revolutionary era is not the large-scale, comprehensive model of business structure that has trouble optimizing details, but the “competent mediator” that can make proposals by flexibly combining specialized teams from each sector. Through the smart energy business* that PALTEK has been pursuing since April 2010, we have realized the need for competent mediators, and have built up a record of solution proposals that are not confined to existing frameworks.

Since the founding of PALTEK, I have constantly affirmed that business is “the knack of responding to changes.” PALTEK is currently pressing ahead with preparations to make the shift to cope with the new framework a step ahead of other companies. I invite you to expect a lot from the PALTEK smart energy business.* Name changed from “smart grid business” to “smart energy business”

Progress of Smart Energy Business Vol. 5

Launch of “power outage measures system for hospitals,” which combines the medical UPS evolved for hospitals from conventional storage battery system, lithium-ion storage battery and low pressure LP gas generator

Applications:∙ Operates medical equipment without interruption even

during power outages, through medical UPS which meets safety standards for medical electricity.

∙ Effectively supplies electricity to medical equipment in hospital wards (mechanical ventilators, infusion pumps, syringe pumps, vital signs monitors, etc.)

∙ Recommended for medical inst i tut ions where electricity needs are increasing due to increase of advanced medical equipment (including cases where generators initially installed at the facility can no longer provide an adequate supply of electricity)

Advantages of installation:∙ Allows medical institutions to provide a supply of safe

electricity over long periods (100 hours per LP gas 50 kg container) primarily for hospital wards during power outages.

∙ Does not require much space to install, and is therefore highly suitable as a supplementary system for the facility’s own generator.

The power outage measures system developed by PALTEK was born out of the challenge of finding ways to secure electricity during power outages at evacuation centers, in the context of activities to support recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake. This system evolved into a power outage measures system for hospitals, and was implemented at a general hospital in November 2012. In order to install the system, we surveyed the power consumption of medical equipment at the hospital, and determined how to coordinate the existing power generating equipment at the facility with the PALTEK system, making it possible to effectively operate medical equipment required during power outages. PALTEK positions this power outage measures system as a product with great social significance and needs, and those responsible for the system are highly motivated in proposing it to our customers.

Going forward, we will continue to offer even better products that will bring delight to our customers and smiles to our own faces as well.

We will continue to report on PALTEK Group endeavors in the PALTEK Report, and any opinions or thoughts you may have are most welcome.
