## Initiatives Going Forward 

For all products in the Metal Building Material Business, we will work with Shin Nikkei to integrate product lines and production and share business resources in sales, distribution, and back-office areas. Developing overseas markets is also an important theme for this business segment. 

## Housing Sashes and Related Products 

Sales of Inplus  inner windows are increasing on the back of the introduc- tion in Japan of an eco-point system for housing. The Group will further increase sales and nurture operations in the reno- vation market in the year ending March 31, 2011. Furthermore, ahead of moves by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) to introduce standards for window performance evaluations in the year ending March 31, 2012, the Group will develop and market next- generation windows with better features through its alliance with Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. 

## Exteriors 

We will continue strengthening our line of products for home renovation and further bolster our “Shizenyoku de Kurasu” network of specialty stores for design and product installation. 

## Building Sashes and Shutters 

In building sashes, the Group will increase sales in the renovation market for multiple dwellings to capitalize on the eco-point system for housing and work together with Shin Nikkei to promote sales for low- and medium-rise proper- ties. In shutters, we will launch new products and further strengthen mainte- nance services. 

## Inner Window: Inplus 

This plastic inner window is ideal for home renovation. It is drawing attention as a product that is eligible for the Japanese government’s eco-point system for housing. Homeowners can select from a variety of colors to match the interior of their homes. Besides insulating the home and shutting out noise, the system can also be installed quickly.

## Skylight Window: Sky Theater 

This skylight window is an example of an eco product that lets in light and air. Sky Theater  is self-cleaning, reducing the maintenance burden on homeowners. What is more, it blocks harmful ultraviolet light thanks to double-glazed glass that both shields heat and insulates.

## Façades: Plus G 

A new product launched in 2010, Plus G  is designed both as a gateway to the entrance to the home and a car parking space. It is the perfect solution for the narrow and cramped confines of typical Japanese residen- tial neighborhoods as it does not take up space when opening and closing.
