Kenwood completed its revitalization on which all employees had acted together in unison since the fiscal year ended March 2003, and we have been accelerating the various activities to expand corporate value, along the second mid-term business plan, the “Value Creation Plan”.   In the previous fiscal year Kenwood completed its preparations for investments in strategic development and advanced technology, sales expansion and earnings turnaround, and the time has finally come to put its existing businesses on track for new growth, focusing on its core business areas by managers of the next generation. At the same time Kenwood has started to accelerate its growth beyond the limit of its own with the Chairman being responsible for strategic initiatives aimed at the medium- and long-term creation and enhancement of the corporate value.
