Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, such as while watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before. Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before playing a video game. Parents should watch when their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you or your child have any of the following symptoms: Convulsions Eye or muscle twitching Loss of awareness Altered vision Involuntary movements Disorientation To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games: 1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible. 2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen. 3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep. 4. Play in a well-lit room. 5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.
WARNING - Battery Leakage
The Nintendo DS contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Leakage of ingredients contained within the battery pack, or the combustion products of the ingredients, can cause personal injury as well as damage to your Nintendo DS. If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly with water and see a doctor. To avoid battery leakage: Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids. Do not disassemble, attempt to repair or deform the battery. Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire. Do not touch the terminals of the battery, or cause a short between the terminals with a metal object. Do not peel or damage the battery label.

Do not operate the Nintendo DS within 9 inches of a pacemaker while using the wireless feature. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the wireless feature of the Nintendo DS without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device. Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding use of wireless devices in locations such as hospitals, airports, and on board aircraft. Operation in those locations may interfere with or cause malfunctions of equipment, with resulting injuries to persons or damage to property.

Analysis of Operations and Financial Review

Overview

The video game industry has developed as one of the few entertainment fields which was launched and driven by Japan. Success of the industry in the early years was dependent upon increasingly spectacular graphics and more complex games. In recent years, however, the traditional success formula of developing splendid and complex games has become less productive. Nintendos strategy over the past year has been to expand the gaming population by introducing Nintendo DS, a handheld gaming device equipped with a touch screen and microphone port that enables intuitive game play, along with wireless communication capability. These features have made it possible to introduce software innovations that expand the definition of video games. New user demographics, including seniors and females, have been cultivated by introducing a software lineup known as Touch! Generations. Touch! Generations titles offer an entertaining experience that provide a fresh sensation to skilled gamers while at the same time, making the experience easily accessible to those who were not familiar with video games in the past. Nintendo will continue to develop the Touch! Generations initiative (which created a new flow in the world of video games) while at the same time expanding its software lineup into various new fields. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, a wireless internet service for the Nintendo DS, was recently introduced and has three key elements; easy, safe, and charge-free. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection quickly gained popularity and has been accepted by a broad range of people. In addition to the original Nintendo DS, Nintendo expects to further increase Nintendo DS hardware sales with the addition of Nintendo DS Lite. Nintendo DS Lite launched in March 2006 in Japan and is a lighter and brighter version of the Nintendo DS to meet various consumer preferences. During the calendar year 2006, a new gaming console Wii (pronounced We) is scheduled for launch. With its unprecedented controller, Wii aims to set a new standard as a video game interface which allows the whole family to enjoy it.

Cash Flow

At March 31, 2006, Nintendos cash and cash equivalents were 617.1 billion ($5,275 million). Net cash provided by operating activities was 46.4 billion ($396 million) despite reductions in cash due to a foreign exchange gain resulting from revaluation of cash and cash equivalents in foreign currencies, payment of 74.9 billion ($640 million) for income taxes and also due to a decrease in notes and trade accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities was 208.8 billion ($1,785 million) as payments into time deposits exceeded withdrawals. Net cash used in financing activities was 60.2 billion ($514 million) due to dividend payments and payments for acquiring treasury stocks.

Financial Position

Nintendos financial position continues to be very strong. At March 31, 2006 total liabilities were 186.4 billion ($1,593 million), and the current ratio was 5.59 to 1. The balance of cash and cash equivalents was 3.31 times total liabilities. Working capital was 836.5 billion ($7,149 million). The receivable turnover period increased by 6 days compared with the previous fiscal year to 34 days. Inventories were 30.8 billion ($264 million). The inventory turnover period was 29 days. The debt-to-equity ratio was 0.19 to 1 at March 31, 2006.

Common Stock Activity

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the Nikkei stock average rose 46% to 17,059.66 ($145.81). The stock price of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (the Company) rose 50% and ended the year at 17,600 ($150.43). The Company raised its annual dividend level by 120 ($1.03) to 390 ($3.33) per share for Fiscal 2006. On a consolidated basis, the dividend payout ratio was approximately 51%. Foreign shareholders constituted 41% of total outstanding shares at March 31, 2006.
(Note) The amounts presented herein are stated in Japanese yen and have been translated into U.S. dollars solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan at the rate of 117 to US$1, the approximate rate of exchange at March 31, 2006.

Risk Factors

Listed below are the various risks that could significantly affect Nintendos operating performance, share price, and financial condition. However, unpredictable risks may exist other than the risks set forth herein. Note that matters pertaining to the future presented herein are determined by Nintendo as of annual consolidated fiscal period ended March 31, 2006. (1) Risks around economic environment Fluctuation in foreign exchange rates Nintendo distributes its products globally with overseas sales accounting for approximately 70% of total sales. The majority of monetary transactions are made in local currencies. In addition, the Company holds a substantial amount of assets including cash deposits denominated in foreign currencies without exchange contracts. Thus, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates would have a direct influence on earnings not only if foreign currencies were converted to Japanese yen but also if revaluated for financial reporting purposes. Japanese yen appreciation against the U.S. dollar or Euro would have a negative impact on Nintendos profitability. (2) Risks around business activities Fluctuation of and competition in the market Nintendo is engaged in a business categorized under the massive entertainment industry. Therefore, the availability of other forms of entertainment affects Nintendos business. If consumer preferences shift to other forms of entertainment, it is possible that the video game market may shrink. The emergence of new competitors resulting from technological innovation could have a detrimental impact as well. In the video game industry, it may become even more difficult to generate profit as more research and development expenses and marketing expenses are required and as price competition intensifies with giant enterprises entering into the market. As a result, Nintendo may find difficulty in maintaining or expanding its market share as well as sustaining profitability.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presenting Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared from the consolidated financial statements issued in Japan for domestic reporting purposes. Nintendo Co., Ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries in Japan maintain their accounts and records in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Commercial Code and the Securities and Exchange Law, and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in Japan, which are different in certain respects from the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards. Its overseas consolidated subsidiaries maintain their accounts in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles and practices prevailing in the respective countries of domicile and no adjustment has been made to their financial statements in consolidation to the extent that significant differences do not occur, as allowed under the generally accepted accounting principles and practices in Japan. The consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than Japan. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan. The consolidated financial statements presented herein are stated in Japanese yen, the currency of the country in which the Company is incorporated and operates. The translations of Japanese yen amounts into U.S. dollar amounts are included solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan and have been made at the rate of 117 to US$1, the approximate rate of exchange at March 31, 2006. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Japanese yen amounts have been, could have been or could in the future be, converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate of exchange.

J. Leases

All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under the Japanese accounting standards for leases, finance leases that are deemed to transfer ownership of the leased assets to the lessee are to be capitalized, while other finance leases are permitted to be accounted for as operating lease transactions if certain as if capitalized information is disclosed in the notes to the lessees financial statements.
K. Appropriations of Retained Earnings
Appropriations of retained earnings are reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the following year upon shareholders approval.

L. Per Share Information

The computations of net income per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding excluding the number of treasury stock during each fiscal year. The average numbers of common stock used in the computation for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were 128,822 thousand and 131,600 thousand, respectively. Cash dividends per share represent the amounts applicable to the respective years including dividends to be paid after end of the fiscal year.
Note 3. Supplemental Information on Cash and Cash Equivalents
The balance of Cash and cash equivalents includes loans on repurchase agreement secured by marketable securities with a market value of 15,939 million ($136,232 thousand) as of March 31, 2006.
Note 4. Short-term Investments and Investments in Securities
Other securities with market value included in Investments in securities as of March 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Note 11. Litigation

The Commission of the European Communities announced to impose a fine of EUR149 million on October 30, 2002 referring that Nintendos past trade practices in Europe until 1998 fell upon limitation of competition within the EU common market which is prohibited by Article 81 in the EU treaty. The Company and its consolidated subsidiary found this fine to be unjustly high and appealed to the Court of First Instance of the European Communities on January 16, 2003. The legal procedure is now under way.
Note 12. Subsequent Events
At the annual general meeting held on June 29, 2006, shareholders of the Company approved the year-end cash dividends and directors bonuses proposed by the Board of Directors of the Company as follows:
