FAQ

Please see "Financial Summaries" in IR Library.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31. We also announce quarterly results. Please see the "IR Calendar" for a detailed schedule.

To prevent leaks of information about earnings releases that could affect the stock price, as well as to ensure fairness, MegaChips institutes an "IR quiet period." The period covers from five business days prior to the closing date (inclusive) to the earnings announcement for each quarter. During this period, the company refrains from making comments involving financial performance. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
However, information covered by laws and regulations and timely disclosure rules will be disclosed even during this "quiet period" and management will respond to inquiries about this information.

Our primary focus is the planning, development, and manufacturing (outsourced) of the following products:

• (1) LSI products (system LSIs for game consoles, digital audio-visual equipment, digital cameras, cellular phones and handheld terminals and digital terrestrial broadcasting)
• (2) Boards and modules powered by our system LSIs
• (3) Video surveillance systems powered by our system LSIs
• (4) Eco-energy products powered by our system LSIs

Our strength lies in our technical excellence, which enables us to deal with a broad array of products, from system LSIs to system devices. We strive to maintain our competitive edge by making use of our knowledge on LSIs -- including technologies for the compression and decompression of digital images and audio and telecommunications technologies - as the foundation, and integrating our knowledge of systems powered by LSIs (such as digital cameras and cellular phones) to offer unique solutions that meet the needs of our customers.

Our flagship product is LSI for storing game software, which we provide to Nintendo Co., Ltd. for hand-held game software. Currently, it accounts for about 80% of our sales.

LSI for storing game software is actually memory stored in the hand-held game cassette.
It is not itself a software program but rather is used to store the information of a game program.

We provide Nintendo with optional devices for hand-held games, such as tuner modules for receiving 1seg digital terrestrial broadcasting, and LSI for video game consoles.

In our Security Business, we design, develop, manufacture and sell systems products for security monitoring. We provide systems that represent solutions for monitoring, such as video monitoring equipment and video transmission equipment, primarily in the area of security monitoring.
