21. Consolidated business results for this period
Note: All comparisons are with the first half of the previous fiscal year, unless stated otherwise.

(1)Consolidated operating results
Overview of results
During the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 2011 (April 1-September 30, 2010), the Japanese
economy continued to show signs of recovery. After the middle of the year, however, a downturn in the stock
market, the yen’s appreciation against other currencies, as well as the outlook for a downturn in the world
economy added to economic uncertainty.
Within the MGC Group, the strong yen hit companies where exports account for a large portion of sales. Grouprevenue and earnings improved, however, due to the overall recovery of sales volumes thanks to strong demandin the Asian markets and increasing market prices. By contrast, some of the products for semiconductors, which
had been successful since the previous-year period, began to take a downturn in the late second quarter.
Against this business backdrop, the MGC Group implemented various measures in accordance with the basic
policy stated in its medium-term management plan, “MGC Will 2011,” while at the same time making efforts toincrease sales volume and maintain margins at acceptable levels.
In the six-month period under review, consolidated net sales reached ¥227.0 billion, an increase of ¥46.2 billion(25.6%) from the prior-year period. Consolidated operating income rose by ¥13.7 billion to ¥12.6 billion, while
consolidated ordinary income grew by ¥19.8 billion to ¥17.2 billion. The net income of ¥6.3 billion, an increase of¥8.8 billion from the prior-year period, includes extraordinary losses of ¥9 billion, which in turn include losses onappraisal of investments in securities and losses due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Asset
Retirement Obligations.

Results by business segment
Natural Gas Chemicals Company
In the six-month period up to September 2010, the methanol business enjoyed an increase in net sales basedon growing sales volumes as the new MGC plants in Brunei and Venezuela started operation and average sales
prices that surpassed the level for the corresponding period of 2009.
Methanol and ammonia derivatives marked improvements in both net sales and earnings thanks to an overall
increase in sales volume as well as increases in the market prices of MMA and neopentylglycol, the latter
resulting from tight supply.
The enzyme and coenzyme business remained sluggish with low revenue and earnings, although earnings
from coenzyme Q10 improved slightly.
Natural gas and other energy posted increases in earnings due to an increase in the sales price of crude oil.
In the six-month period under review, the Natural Gas Chemicals Company, therefore, achieved consolidated
net sales of ¥70.3 billion and an operating loss of ¥0.5 billion.
Due to the improvement in the performance of overseas methanol producing companies, equity in earnings ofaffiliates of ¥5 billion was posted, resulting in a consolidated ordinary income of ¥3.7 billion.

3

Aromatic Chemicals Company
Specialty aromatic chemical products improved in both terms of revenue and earnings thanks to strong demandin Europe and other overseas markets, although the strong yen affected sales of meta-xylenediamine,
Nylon-MXD6, and aromatic aldehydes.
The purified isophthalic acid business saw growing demand for PET bottle applications in China and other
Asian markets; however, earnings remained low due to the strong yen and declines in sales prices.
In the six-month period under review, the Aromatic Chemicals Company achieved consolidated net sales of¥54.9 billion, an operating income of ¥0.3 billion, and an ordinary loss of ¥0.3 billion.

Specialty Chemicals Company
The inorganic chemicals business improved in both terms of revenue and earnings due to higher sales volumes
for hydrogen peroxide as a discoloring agent for pulp/paper and as an oxidizing agent.
Driven by steady demand, mainly for semiconductor applications, the electronic chemicals business, including
overseas subsidiaries, improved in both terms of revenue and earnings.
Compared with the prior-year period, the engineering plastics business also performed better in both revenue
and earnings. This was due to successful sales developments for polycarbonate and polyacetal driven by strong
demand in Asian markets.
Polycarbonate sheets and films achieved higher revenue and earnings as the strong demand for films used inflat panel displays continued from the previous year.
In the first six-month period of the fiscal year ending March 2011, the Specialty Chemicals Company posted net
sales of ¥69.6 billion and an operating income of ¥8.5 billion. Due to ¥0.8 billion equity in earnings of affiliates, theCompany achieved an ordinary income of ¥8.8 billion.

Information & Advanced Materials Company
BT materials for semiconductor packaging improved in both terms of revenue and earnings. Demand for
applications for high-end mobile phones and consumer electronics, which was strong during the first quarter,
slowed down in the late second quarter. Nevertheless, this negative impact was more than offset by increases insales volumes compared with the prior-year period as well as successful cost reductions.
Despite being affected by the summer heat in the core market for domestic food, oxygen absorbers such as
AGELESS® improved slightly in revenue and earnings thanks to the successful sales of products for otherapplications.
In the first six-month period under review, the Information & Advanced Materials Company therefore achieved
net sales of ¥31.6 billion, an operating income of ¥4.9 billion and an ordinary income of ¥4.9 billion.

Other
In the first six-month period under review, other business operations posted net sales of ¥0.3 billion, an
operating income of ¥0.1 billion, and an ordinary income of ¥0.9 billion.

4(2) Consolidated financial position
Total consolidated assets as of September 31, 2010 were ¥563.7 billion, ¥24.3 billion higher than at the endof the previous fiscal year. This was primarily because of increases in cash and tangible fixed assets, which
offset a decline in total investments and other assets.
Liabilities increased ¥21.8 billion to ¥283.1 billion, mainly due to increases in notes and accounts payable,lease obligations and asset retirement obligations. Net assets increased ¥2.5 billion to ¥280.6 billion, due tovaluation gains on other investment securities.

(3) Consolidated forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011
For the full-year period, both operating and ordinary incomes are expected to surpass the corresponding
previous forecasts. During the second six-month period, however, MGC anticipates declines in profitability as aresult of the strong yen, reductions in the sales volumes of materials for semiconductors and liquid crystals, andreductions in equity in earnings of affiliates due to declining methanol sales prices. It is, therefore, expected thatearnings for the second six-month period will be lower than those for the first six months. In addition, bothconsolidated and non-consolidated net income figures will fall short of the previous forecasts due to the inclusionof losses on appraisal of investments in securities posted at the end of the second quarter.
Revisions to the consolidated forecasts for full year ending March 31, 2011 announced on July 30, 2010 are

based on the assets held in inventory at the end of the previous fiscal year. In cases where theprofitability has declined, the book value is reduced accordingly.

For the estimation of corporate and other tax payments, changes and tax-deductible items in theattached financial statements are limited to material items. In assessing the recoverability of deferred

consolidated subsidiaries adopt a method of assigning to the period under review an estimatedproportional amount of depreciation expenses for the fiscal year.

Directors. Compensation for current directors had previously been recorded as ‘Directors retirement benefits.’

Shareholders’ Meetings and meetings of the Board of Directors will be recorded in ‘Long-term accounts
payable’ instead of ‘Directors retirement benefits.’ As of June 30 2010, ¥636 million in provision for suchcompensation has been recorded under ‘Other’ in ‘Non-current liabilities.’
