Funai Electric provides the market with reasonably priced, high-quality digital consumer electronics in spite of the growing demand and the intense competition that continue to drive prices downward. We feel, however, that intense price competition also presents us with an opportunity to realize our full potential.

Since our founding in 1961, we have believed in being innovative and sticking to the basics, and Funai will renew its focus on improving efficiencies in all business activities. Based on market analysis, we will promptly develop products to meet market and customer needs. Furthermore, we will provide products in a timely manner that will be superior in terms of cost efficiency using our proprietary production system, the Funai Production System (FPS), and the optimization of production facilities.

Looking ahead, we will continue to focus our efforts on the development of network-related products and strive to create new added value as we take the next steps toward becoming a truly “global Funai.”

High-Quality, Reasonably Priced Products for the WorldThrough the four business segments in which we develop products—Displays, Digital Media, Office Solutions and Others —we consistently supply products globally under diverse brands but with high levels of quality and cost efficiency.Funai aims to continue improving its competitiveness amid an upheaval in the digital consumer electronics industry.

In addition to continually improving quality and cost efficiency

since its founding, Funai’s strength lies in its exceptional supply

capabilities which have earned us an enormous amount of trust

throughout the digital consumer electronics industry.

Currently, we conduct business in four areas: Displays, which

handles LCD TVs; Digital Media, which handles DVD and Blu-ray

Disc-related products, among others; Office Solutions, which

handles printers; and Others, which handles receiver-related

products and other items via subsidiary DX ANTENNA CO., LTD.

In our mainstay area, the Display Business, we provide the

market with five brands of compact to large LCD TVs sold in Japan

and overseas. In the Digital Media Business, the Company is

enhancing its lineup of Blu-ray Disc-related products through

such means as reinforcing its OEM* business. The high quality

and reasonable price of these products have been well received

both domestically and overseas and we proudly maintain a top

share in the North American market for LCD TVs and in Japan for

Blu-ray Disc recorders.

In the Office Solutions Business, we are increasing sales and

profits by maintaining strong relationships with OEM partners.

Also, in 2012 we launched the LED lighting business.

The digital consumer electronics industry is going through

a period of significant upheaval. In terms of functionality, design

and price, South Korea, China and Taiwan are rapidly becoming

increasingly competitive. This situation, however, also presents us

with an opportunity to fully realize our potential. Funai’s focus will be

to increase its brand value and share by providing the market with

competitively priced products developed and produced quickly in

response to the various needs of consumers around the world.

To strengthen our patent portfolio and enable us to respond to competitors’ patent claims, we acquired a portfolio of patents related to TVs, decoders and display devices from IPG Electronics 503 Ltd.

The 360 patents purchased include 180 U.S. patents and 180 from other countries. These patents can be used for products such as TVs, set-top boxes and DVRs*.

Funai Acquires Portfolio of 360Patents from IPG

The 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, for four days from January 10 to January 13, 2012. This show has a 44-year history and is one of the industry’s largest, with the current exhibition attracting 3,100 companies and more than 153,000 visitors.

The Funai booth was located in a hotel near the main venue, along with the PHILIPS and MAGNAVOX booths. Our booth highlighted Funai technology, which showcased our extensive lineup, technological expertise and demonstrated our overall capabilities.

The Boston Red Sox Foundation is an official charity run by the Boston Red Sox baseball team. This is the fourth consecutive year that Funai Electric has co-sponsored the U.S.–Japan Youth Baseball Exchange program, which is sponsored by the Boston Red Sox Foundation. In July 2011, 12 players from youth teams in Kyoto and Chiba visited Boston, where they participated in an international exchange and enjoyed home stays, baseball lessons, and other various activities.

Funai has decided to enter the LED lightning market, which is slated for future expansion due to its products’ long life and power efficiency. This type of lighting is also expected to contribute to the preservation of the environmental.

To jump start its participation in this business, Funai established joint venture companies with CMET to manufacture and sell LED lighting. In doing so, Funai is establishing networks to manufacture and sell industrial LED lighting in China.

Funai is augmenting its production capacity in Thailand to avoid overconcentration of its production capabilities in China. In 2013, we plan to construct a new building adjacent to our current plant. When completed, the new plant will double our production capacity.

Going forward, with this increased capacity we plan to take advantage of free trade agreements* and export products from Thailand to ASEAN countries and India.

Strengthening Production in Thailand

Funai has extended its brand licensing agreements with Royal Philips Electronics through December 2015. In addition to bolstering sales of PHILIPS branded products, we aim to increase profitability on LCD TVs by optimizing inventories and expanding sales in North America through SKU* increases.

We are pursuing thorough cost efficiency at the design stage by various means, including in-house production of core items, reducing part numbers and performing design at overseas facilities.

World-Class Price Competitiveness

We are working to cut costs by promoting in-house production

of core items, reducing the number of parts and reviewing

materials used. As a result of these efforts, in 2011 we

succeeded in reducing the number of parts in 32-inch LCD

TVs by 40%* compared to previous models. We introduced

designs that decreased the number of processes and simplified

production, substantially improving productivity, and designed

products to consider environmental factors through such

methods as the use of lead-free solder.

We are also achieving cost reductions as a result of shifting

design responsibilities from Japan to our R&D facilities in

such locations as Malaysia, China (Shenzhen) and Singapore.

These facilities will help us counter intense cost competition

in order to offer the world’s most reasonable prices.

Pr o d u c t i o n

Funai Electric concentrates its production facilities in the most

appropriate locations and enhances cost competitiveness

by purchasing parts in bulk. In particular, our production

facilities are concentrated in the Asian region, where we

have the ability to competitively procure raw materials and

parts as well as secure a low-cost, high-quality labor force.

Due to the recent labor shortages and wage increases in

China, we have augmented our Thai plant and are considering

establishing new plants in other locations.

We employ the Funai Production System (FPS) at all of

our plants. This system creates stresses on the production line,

such as by reducing the number of operators or increasing

the speed of the conveyor belt, until conditions are created

resulting in the stoppage of the production line. The FPS

creates these conditions in order to analyze what causes the

line to stop, then improves on those conditions that caused

the failure. By repeating this cycle, Funai expects to recognize

continuous improvements in productivity.

The Funai Production System (FPS) — our unique system of ongoing improvement where problems are identified through stresses applied to production line— continually pursues improved productivity.

The key to obtaining a top share in the North American market,

the largest market in the world, is creating close relationships

with the major mass retailers. In addition, we have extended

our brand licensing agreements in North America with Royal

Philips Electronics through December 2015. Accordingly, we

will step up our sales of PHILIPS-branded products.

In Europe, we established sales offices in Hamburg, Paris

and Warsaw, and are working to strengthen relationships with

the major mass retailers in each country.

In Japan, we aggressively develop sales activities through

our subsidiary, DX ANTENNA CO., LTD.

Furthermore, in 2012 we established a local subsidiary

in Mumbai, India, and initiated sales there. Going forward,

we expect to increase sales in Latin America, including

Mexico. We also plan to enter emerging markets which are

rapidly growing, such as the ASEAN countries and the Near

and Middle East regions.

As the amount of digital technology used in consumer

electronics increases, protecting our proprietary technology

and creating new technology with appeal to other companies

has become significantly more important. As a result, we are

conducting strategic patent filings based on a policy of

protecting Funai products with our own patents, which results

in more effective and efficient patent creation and acquisition.

The R&D Division promotes technical development

involving the services and software that will be required

during the era of cloud services and full-fledged broadband

environments. We are also working on “ultra AV home

electronics,” which feature superior human interfaces. The

division is concentrating on the development of devices and

software that will help realize interfaces with a human touch.

These are expected to be core technologies supporting

future products.

As consumer electronics become commodities, we are augmenting the competitiveness of our existing productgroups. In addition, we are pursuing technological developments to create new business.

Expanding into New Growth Markets

Re s e a r c h & D e v e l o p m e n t

The Funai Group manages the FUNAI ELECTRIC ADVANCED APPLIED TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC., our core institution for the research of nanotechnologies. In addition to strengthening our mainstay AV equipment-related business and pursuing developments to enhance our intellectual property, we will proactively develop basic devices for new markets such as the eco/energy field.

FUNAI ELECTRIC ADVANCED APPLIED TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC.:A Group Company Responsible for the Development of Advanced Technology

AV Equipment-Related DevelopmentWe develop products with high value added Internet and home networking applications. We also develop new features corresponding to diverse brand strategies and cutting-edge technology to strengthen our ability to meet OEM needs, as well as energy-efficient products with low environmental impact. Meanwhile, to meet expanding market needs, we are also concentrating on more regionally tailored development and more targeted applications.

Network-Related TechnologyThe Group pursues development activities over a wide range, spanning fundamental technologies to products. We were an early provider of products compatible with VOD services and SNS in various countries in the early stages of Blu-ray Disc-related devices and LCD TVs, and take the lead in the development of technologies that will allow customers to easily enjoy the Internet, thereby contributing to the adoption of the Internet and the development of a more Internet-based society. In addition, we have introduced products that take advantage of cloud based services and are also pursuing wireless networking products. Our next step will be to develop and launch mobile devices, products, and services for telecommunications carriers, through which we will strive to help advance the telecommunications field.

The Human Interfaces FieldThe full-fledged entry into the networking era is blurring the distinctions between AV consumer electronics, communications and broadcasting. However, taking full advantage of the benefits this era offers will require improved compatibility between people and machines, which is currently the source of major discussion. There is still room for development here.

We believe that more complex functionality and improvements in devices, software and cloud systems will lead to simpler operability. Accordingly, we are concentrating on the development of human interfaces that people will find more enjoyable and intuitive.

The Eco/Energy FieldFor many years, Funai has pursued the development of power-saving, environmentally conscious products. LED lighting equipment marks our first step into the eco/energy field, through which we will strive to make contributions to the future, an area in which we are continuing to conduct basic technological research and striving to make contributions to in the future.
