1. Interim Report For The 110th Business Term From January 1,2010 to June 30,2010 Canon Inc.

To Our Shareholders

     We are pleased to present our report for the summary of the first half of our 110th business term (from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010).

     The overall global economy during the first half of the current business term saw a general, modest recovery trend. Although the European economies stagnated slightly reeling from the Greek financial problem and other issues, consumer spending turned upward in the U.S. and performance in the Asia region was robust as internal demand expanded in China and India. Despite lingering uncertainties about the future in areas such as capital investment, the Japanese economy witnessed an upturn in exports, which led to a gradual reemergence of the economy. In foreign exchange markets, compared with the first half of the previous business term, the yen traded at high levels against both the U.S. dollar and the euro.

     As to the conditions of the markets in which the Canon Group operates, in the office-use market, the recovery in demand for network multifunction devices proceeded steadily mostly for color machines, while laser printers enjoyed a stronger reemergence than that of the second half of last year and demand for large-format printers also increased. In consumer markets, there was good demand for our digital single lens reflex (SLR) cameras while compact digital cameras grew tremendously in emerging countries and inkjet printers recovered. The order environment for semiconductor lithography equipment and LCD lithography equipment also started showing positive signs.

     Under such business conditions, the Canon Group has designated 2010, the final year of Phase III (2006 to 2010) of our “Excellent Global Corporation Plan,” as the first year in a new era of growth, a turning point to the growth mode. We focused on introducing innovative products and services, enhancing the sales system in China and other Asian countries, reinforcing our office equipment business through the consolidation of Océ N.V., accelerating cost-reduction activities, effecting thorough inventory reductions and resource optimization, and committing totally to “quality first.”

 

     As to the earnings for the first half of the current business term, on a consolidated basis, we recorded net sales of 1,725.9 billion yen (up 16.5% from the first half of 2009), income before income taxes of 201.5 billion yen (up 248.1%), and net income attributable to Canon Inc. of 124.4 billion yen (up 273.2%). Also on a non-consolidated basis, we recorded net sales of 1,108.8 billion yen (up 26.0%), ordinary profit of 156.1 billion yen (up 348.9%), and net income of 79.5 billion yen (up 277.1%).

     For the interim dividend, we have decided to pay 55.0 yen per share from August 27.

     For the second half, although we expect the economic recovery to continue, there is the risk of a slowdown in the global economic recovery caused by the instability and credit contraction in the financial markets mostly in Europe and it leaves no room for optimism. Under such circumstances, we expect intensifying market competition and a continuingly harsh business environment to encompass the Canon Group.

     The Canon Group is united in its commitment to achieving a further upturn in results in the second half of the business term.

     We look forward to your continued support and encouragement in the future.

Note:

Because the consolidated sales of each business unit include the sales relating to intersegment transactions, the total does not amount to 100%.

n Office Business Unit

     Regarding office network digital multifunction devices, sales of our “imageRUNNER ADVANCE series” new generation machines launched in the fall of last year and developed to meet the varied needs of users through ways such as links with various software, performed well in Japan, the U.S. and Europe. In addition, the Asian market for office network digital multifunction devices is in the trend of overall expansion with robust sales for both color and black-and-white machines especially in China.

     Unfortunately, severe sales conditions continued for our “imagePRESS series” of printers for digital commercial printing as the printing industry in Japan, the U.S. and Europe experienced sluggish capital investments. Nevertheless, we were able to minimize the decline in unit sales through aggressive sales expansion efforts for the “imagePRESS C1+” and other machines. While in China, sales of our “imagePRESS C7000VP” were favorable.

     Multifunction devices for small mid-sized business owners demonstrated significant sales growth as we launched new products in the U.S., Europe and China, among others, and worked to expand sales.

     Sales of laser printers in the first half of the current business term increased substantially with orders from customers for OEM-brand products sharply recovering from the second half of last year. For Canon-brand products, in the area of black-and-white machines, we launched three new products, including the A3-size compatible “Satera LBP8630” which uses environmentally-friendly plastic materials and offers greater functionality with its wide LCD panel and the ability to print 37 pages per minute, all the while focusing energy on sales efforts.

     For our “imagePROGRAF series” of large-format printers, we introduced the new “iPF8300/6350/6300” equipped with newly developed high-accuracy mechanical structure and “LUCIA EX,” a new pigment ink system, among other breakthrough new technologies to meet the demand of professional users for extremely high image quality, and unit sales grew steadily.

     Moreover, with contribution of sales by consolidating Océ N.V., net sales for this business unit increased 19.9% on a consolidated basis in comparison to the first half of 2009.

 

 

n Consumer Business Unit

     For digital SLR cameras, as the market continued to expand, our “EOS Kiss X4” entry-level model equipped with an 18 megapixel high-resolution CMOS sensor and full HD video functionality made good start. The “EOS Kiss X3” and the advanced amateur model “EOS 5D Mark II” and “EOS 7D” also had favorable sales and unit sales of SLR cameras grew in the U.S. and Asia, among other regions. In April, cumulative production volume for the “EOS series” reached 40 million units, including film cameras.

     Meanwhile, in compact digital cameras, we introduced four new products in our “IXY series,” namely the “IXY 10S/30S/400F/200F,” and five in our “PowerShot series” including the “PowerShot SX210 IS.” Despite growth in sales volume mainly in China, South America, Eastern Europe and other emerging markets, sales declined slightly year on year due to a fall in sales prices on the overall market.

     We expanded our lineup of digital video camcorders by introducing four new models equipped with flash memory, including three HD models such as the “iVIS HF M31,” and one file based professional model. HD models especially demonstrated fabulous growth in volume and sales.

     Regarding inkjet printers, we introduced the “PIXUS MX870/350” multifunction model for home office users and expanded sales mostly in the U.S., where there is continuing growth. We also introduced the “PIXUS iP2700” single function printers as an entry-level model to strengthen our lineup. Following the market recovery from the second half of last year, both the volume and sales turned upward mostly for multifunction models and sales in China and other Asian countries particularly fared well including the sales of single function printers. Consumables also saw steady sales growth.

     For image scanners, sales of our mainstay products including the “CanoScan LiDE 200” were steady and we solidly maintained our No. 1 share position despite a contracting overall market.

     As a result of the above, net sales for this business unit increased 14.0% on a consolidated basis in comparison to the first half of 2009.

 

 

n Industry and Others Business Unit

     For semiconductor lithography equipment, thanks to a recovery trend in capital investment by device manufacturers resulting from an upturn in the semiconductor market, unit sales increased compared to last year’s low results.

     Regarding LCD lithography equipment, despite expectations for future orders based on proactive capital investment projections at LCD panel manufacturers in South Korea and China, among others, decreases in both units and sales during the first half of the current business term were unavoidable due to orders remaining at a low level in 2009 which suffered from a recession.

     In medical equipment, we focused on mid- to large-scale sales negotiations and the acquisition of new customers in the area of digital radiography systems through our mainstay product “CXDI-50G” and the “CXDI-55C” launched last year, among others. As a result, we succeeded in increasing both units and sales beyond those of the first half of the previous business term mainly in areas such as the U.S. and Asia. Ophthalmic devices saw lower unit sales despite efforts to increase sales of “CR-1 Mark II,” “CX-1” and other retinal cameras.

     Document scanners and check scanners handled by Canon Electronics Inc. grew substantially in terms of both the volume and sales mostly in Japan, the U.S. and China, among others. For our “imageFORMULA series” document scanners, the highly durable and highly speedy “DR-9050C/6050C” and the extremely compact and portable “DR-150” sold well, contributing to the increase in sales volume.

     Regarding calculators handled by Canon Electronic Business Machines (H.K.) Co., Ltd., we launched the “F-718” 18-digit internal arithmetic high-accuracy scientific electronic calculators, among others, and unit sales increased.

     FA system-related devices handled by Canon Machinery Inc. enjoyed a recovery in sales as orders increased from the second half of last year. Die bonders also had promising orders for the LED (light-emitting diode) compatible “BESTEM-D01” thanks to an active LED market. In April, we launched the “BESTEM-D10Sp” LED die bonder and saw further growth in orders.

     Sales of magnetic disk film deposition equipment handled by Canon ANELVA Corporation increased substantially year on year thanks to higher demand for PC hard disks and a recovery in our customers’ capital investments.

     As a result of the above, net sales for this business unit increased 11.6% on a consolidated basis in comparison to the first half of 2009.
