The Chemicals Division handles a wide range of products, from upstream basic petrochemicals to downstream specialty chemicals and electronic materials. During fiscal 2007, our trading volume of olefins and other basic chemicals increased thanks to robust market conditions, particularly in Asian countries. In fiscal 2008, we will continue to expand our trade in China and elsewhere in the Asian region and actively promote large-scale petrochemical projects in the Middle East. At the same time, we plan to participate in technology-oriented business in automobile-related fields.
