1. Qualitative information concerning this quarterly report

(1) Qualitative information concerning consolidated results

Lasertec Corporation (6920)

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the prospect of the global economy remained uncertain overall. The US economy had clear signs of robust recovery, but a long-lasting recession lingered in Europe and there were signs of slower growth in China and other emerging economies.

As for the Japanese economy, corporate capital expenditures increased during this quarterly period. However, concerns grew larger about slowing down of the economic growth that lasted since last fiscal year. Consumer spending was not recovering as anticipated after it had plunged due to consumption tax hike.

In the semiconductor industry, which constitutes our main business sector, this quarter was a period of transition from 20nm node to 14/16nm node. Capital expenditures by large foundries, therefore, remained at a low level. As a result, our operating activities remained low.

The business environment of other industries related to the remainder of our business is summarized as follows: in the FPD industry, we saw resumption of significant capital expenditures, after several slow years, for photomasks used in the production of high definition panels for smartphones; in the photovoltaic cell industry, the level of capital expenditures remained low, and; the market of lithium ion batteries was steadily growing.

Under the circumstances, our consolidated net sales in the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, was 1,747 million yen, up 80.0% from the same period of the previous year.

Looking at the consolidated net sales by product segment, semiconductor-related systems accounted for

97 million yen (down 80.8%), other products for 1,222 million yen (up 2,442.0%), and services for 427

million yen (up 2.9%).

As for consolidated income for the six-month period of this quarterly report, we recorded an operating profit of 86 million yen (an operating loss of 508 million yen in the same period of the previous year), an ordinary profit of 132 million yen (an ordinary loss of 511 million yen in the same period of the previous year), and a net profit of 82 million yen (a net loss of 326 million yen in the same period of the previous year).

(2) Qualitative information concerning consolidated financial position

① Financial position

Total assets at the end of the quarter amounted to 20,286 million yen, down 1,401 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly due to a 2,429 million yen decrease in cash and deposits whereas work-in-process increased by 756 million yen and notes and accounts receivable-trade increased by 613 million yen.

Liabilities at the end of the quarter amounted to 3,295 million yen, down 929 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly due to a 669 million yen decrease in income taxes payable, a 139 million yen decrease in notes and accounts payable-trade, and a 114 million yen decrease in provision for directors' bonuses whereas provision for bonuses increased by 180 million yen.

Net assets, which consist of shareholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive income, and subscription right to shares, amounted to 16,991 million yen with capital-asset ratio of 83.6%.

② Cash flows

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to 3,688 million yen, down 2,431 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. Following is the status of cash flows and their contributing factors during the six-month period.

For operating activities, 1,840 million yen was used (up 223.4% from the same period of the previous

year). This is mainly because the sum of cash payment such as a 811 million yen increase in inventories,

725 million yen spent for income taxes paid and a 575 million yen increase in notes and accounts

receivable-trade, exceeded the sum of cash receipt such as a 180 million yen increase in provision for bonuses, a 162 million yen increase in notes and accounts payable-trade and a 132 million yen income

before income taxes and minority interests.

For investment activities, 14 million yen was used (down 20.6% from the same period of the previous year). This is due to 14 million yen used for purchase of property, plant and equipment.

For financing activities, 608 million yen was used (down 15.1% from the same period of the previous year). This is mainly due to 608 million yen used for cash dividends paid.

(3) Qualitative information concerning forecast of consolidated financial results

We make no revision to our forecast of operating results for the full year ending June 30, 2015, which we announced on August 8, 2014.
