Management Comment

"Aimed at mid- and long-term growth for the Square Enix Group, we have
made solid progress in our business plan set out at the beginning of the
fiscal year," said Yoichi Wada, President and Representative Director.

"We are pleased with the success of our FINAL FANTASY(R)XIII launch in
Japan on December 17th, where we successfully shipped 1.8 million units in
this market with a PlayStation(R)3 installed base of 4 million*. And, through
our improved localization systems, we were able to set a March launch date in
North America and Europe.

Further, our integration activities since the acquisition of U.K.-based
Eidos in April are progressing rapidly and allowing us to strengthen our
global business framework."
