■ Digital Microprinter Connecting the Microfilm Scanner to a Fileprint450 or Fileprint 250 results in a standalone DigitalMicroprinter system, which has the benefits ofeasy operation and fast printing. The Fileprint 450offers a fast first print time, rapid 10 ppm output,

and A3-size printing. Its paper supply expands to 500 sheets with anoptional cassette. The compact Fileprint 250 delivers 8 high-qualityprints per minute.

■ Superior quality film scanningThe MS 300 and MS 350 provide scanningresolution of up to 600 x 600 dpi. Each has fourmodes to choose from: Black & White, ErrorDiffusion, Text Enhanced, and 8-bit Grayscale.Text Enhanced is a useful mode for handling

images with difficult-to-read text, as it emphasizes the text areas toimprove legibility. All modes allow further enhancement throughnoise removal, skew correction and other functions.

■ Cost-effective in different waysPower Saver mode automatically kicks in after 15 or 60minutes to reduce power consumption. Also, up to 7scanners can be connected to a single PC, which allowssharing of a network printer and saves investment costs onextra hardware.

■ Reader-Printer modeEven when they are connected to your PCnetwork, the MS 300 and MS 350 can beoperated as easily as standalone devices. InReader-Printer mode, you simply push the Startbutton and data is transferred directly to a network

printer. Scanner settings can emphasize quality (for example,600dpi grayscale) or speed (5.5 seconds per image, 200dpi binary).

QUARTERLY SALES REVIEW

Summary of regional performance profiles

As mentioned in the previous page, the performances of subsidiaries operating in

the three major marketing regions (Asia, Europe, the Americas) have diverged

only slightly over the past five years. These subsidiaries each demonstrate a

different performance profile, and these difference can be accounted for in part by

the contrasting economic conditions prevailing in each region. The Asian

subsidiary has experienced a sustained period of growth during the five-year

period covered in this report. Performances in Europe and the Americas have also

been positive. The European market, in particular, continues to show a constant,

steady growth towards higher overall sales figures. As for the Americas, this

region has also reported healthy growth.

Evaluation of current term sales volume

Early indications for the current term suggest that the trends described in this

report will continue their upward trajectory. Cumulative sales statistics for FY2002

indicated a profit of USD242 million, a figure that exceeded both the initial

estimate and the revised estimate. This was the fifth consecutive fiscal year that

the actual earnings had exceeded both the initial and revised earnings estimates.

The trend began in FY1998,

the first year for which net

earnings figures were

consolidated among the

three regional subsidiaries.

As is visible from the

following graph, the most

significant jump occurred

during FY97 and FY98,

when new systems were

implemented to boost

production capabilities in a

number of key strategic

sub-regions. Init. Est. Rev. Est.Unit: 1 million USD

THE VERSATILE SOLUTION TO MICROFILM SCANNINGTHE VERSATILE SOLUTION TO MICROFILM SCANNINGConverting microfilm images to digital data opens many new

possibilities—immediate distribution via email, document

management, and more. The MS 300 and MS 350 let you make the

most of these applications by bringing first-class digital technology

to your desktop. A space-saving design. Great cost performance.

Sophisticated software. And superior quality digital imaging. When

it comes to expanding the utility of your microfilm resources, look

no further for an ideal solution. Discover the digital difference with

a Canon Microfilm Scanner.

■ User-friendly scanning for diverse needsCapturePerfect boosts the productivity of microfilm scanning while keeping thingssimple. Its Scan Panel appears on your PC monitor, and offers an easy way to

adjust image quality and start scanning. A relatedfeature, Prescan, eliminates the trouble of reprinting. It

gives you control over the brightness ofyour images, so you can get a high-quality printout right away. Many otheruseful functions are also provided.

■ Scan-to-Print streamlines the process of making printer settings.■ With Scan-to-Mail, your image data is automatically attached to a new message from your email

software. Distributing microfilm-based information couldn't be easier. ■ Four file formats are included: TIFF, BMP, JPEG, and PDF. When PDF is selected, you have the option

to embed OCR data in the image file. This enables text searches to be performed on it later on. ■ Batch scanning functions make it possible to scan multiple images at once. ■ Image display tools allow you to resize or rotate the image on the PC monitor.■ As many as 20 sets of scanner settings can be stored for easy retrieval.

Regional performanceAs represented in the graph below, performance of subsidiaries operating in the three major marketing regions (Asia, Europe, North America) has diverged significantly over the past five periods. These subsidiaries each demonstrate a different performance profile, and these difference can be accounted in part by the contrasting economic situations of their region.

The Asian subsidiary, after a period of growth experienced during the first three periods covered by this report, has noticeably plateaued during the past two periods. Seen from the macroscopic regional viewpoint, this trend indicates a failure of market growth, yet this plateau in fact conceals a tremendous disparity among the various sub-markets included in this region. Steady increases in three major sub-markets served to offset dramatic decreases in seven minor sub-markets. The overall equilibrium is a result of these opposing movements.

Performance in the North America and Europe regions has been positive. While the European markets continue to show a constant, steady growth towards higher overall sales figures, the North American market has displayed an astounding factor of growth which has led this region to supplant Asia for the number one global sales position.

Current-term evaluationEarly indications for the current term suggest that the trends represented in the graph below will continue to be the case, and that a simple extrapolation will be fairly accurate in predicting the figures to be disclosed at the end of

this period. While this sampling is correlated with the gross statistical analysis represented by the graph, there is need to emphasis the degree to which this extrapolation is a by-product of local economic situations, and not of the analytic process itself.

As seen in the Asian example, cumulative sales statistics in themselves do not provide a basis upon
