the FA field worldwide, since such products meet market needs for
improvement of product quality and improved efficiency through automation
of inspection operations. CCS Inc. aims to construct a foundation

For this reason, it has decided to establish, on November 1, 2004,
CCS Europe (Belgium) as a subsidiary to oversee the European market.
This subsidiary will join CCS America, which oversees the North
American market, and RDV (made a subsidiary September 30, 2004),
which oversees Asian markets, as primary elements of these efforts.
Through establishment of this subsidiary, CCS Inc. seeks to further
expand sales in the European market by creating an environment in
which it can provide customers in Europe with its strength, lighting
solutions, in the same manner currently implemented for Japanese
customers. In addition, the establishment of this subsidiary is
planned to lead to acquisition of new customers by making it possible
to ascertain the needs of the European FA and machine-vision lighting
industries swiftly and accurately.
3. Sales targets:
FY 2005 ending in July (nine months): 310 million yen
4. Effects on future business performance:
