## Initiatives Going Forward 

The JS Group will pursue synergies with American Standard, which joined the Group in July 2009. Efforts will be focused on taking full advantage of the division’s formi- dable sales network. 

## Sanitary Ware 

In Japan, we are selling Refresh SATIS , a product for people who want to upgrade the functional features of their toilets only. The “INAX NEXT Program” gives customers access to backup equipment that they can use over many years and will strengthen our relation- ships with established customers. 

Overseas, the Group is developing products attuned to local needs, par- ticularly in China and Vietnam, where economic growth is especially strong. 

## Bathroom Units 

The Group will harness synergies through ISM, a new company integrating the sales operations of Inax and Sun Wave. It will work to reap rewards from synergies starting in the second half of the year ending March 31, 2011. In April 2010, we launched a fully revamped model of core product La Bath . In addi- tion to enhancing the cleanability of “Kururinpoi Drain,” which has been well received by customers, and “Kirei Mirror,” 

“Kirei Door,” and other products, we will add features to conserve water, hot water and electricity. In addition, we will work to make products simple to install for easier renovation and replacement. 

## Kitchen Systems 

The Group is working to optimize the kitchen business that is currently oper- ated under the three brands of Sun Wave, Inax and Tostem. We will empha- size the unique features of our products and sales approach in order to increase sales. For instance, there is new prod- uct Kitchen Reno , which has a replace- able frame. In terms of new sales approaches, with an approach we call “simple kitchen,” we offer stylish and sophisticated kitchen systems based on simple and easy-to-understand pricing plans. 

## Washstand Cabinet Units 

Group efforts are centered on maximiz- ing production efficiency in the wash- stand cabinet units business. 

We have been selling SATIS , one of the bidet-equipped “shower toilet” products, for 10 years since the first- generation model was launched in 2001. We work constantly to equip our products with the latest func- tions under the concept of delivering the world’s smallest products (as of January 2010, for a tankless, one-piece shower toilet) and the greatest satisfaction. This product saves water with a 5-liter flush as well as electricity with its warm water and heating function. In April 2010, we launched Refresh SATIS  for home renovators who want to upgrade just their toilet seat with a shower function.
