Looking at a breakdown by business domain, sales in the measuring instruments business were ¥6.0 billion, an increase of 12% year on year. This was due to solid progress in sales beyond expectations at Germany-based Instrument Systems GmbH, which we acquired. This trend is continuing into the second half as well.
In industrial and professional lenses and components, performance in projectors for digital cinema was in line with expectations while interchangeable lenses for DSLR cameras posted strong results on the whole.
Although performance in pickup lenses for Blu-ray Discs was robust in the home video game console sector, sales of lenses for compact digital cameras decreased.
