SANYO Takes an Important First Step to Profitability in FY 2007

SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. Consolidated Financial Results
for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2007

Tokyo, July 30, 2007 --- SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) announces its consolidated results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 (April 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007).

The first quarter of fiscal year 2007 ended with consolidated net sales of 496,416 million yen. While there were concerns about the domestic market for mobile handsets and white goods as domestic sales decreased 22.7% over the same period last year, SANYO also saw an increase in overseas sales of 18.6%, resulting in a total of 307,028 million yen, over the same period last year. This was due to the favorable increase in sales in the consumer group for digital cameras and LCD projectors, the commercial group for showcases and packaged air conditioners, and the component group for rechargeable batteries and optical pick-ups.

The income before income taxes and minority interests for the first quarter was 5,444 million yen, with a total net profit of 2,572 million yen in the positive. Originally, due to the sudden rises in the prices of raw materials, the total operating profit was 732 million yen. However, together with other income such as the sale of SANYO Electric Credit Co., Ltd. and the improvement of equity in earnings of affiliates and unconsolidated subsidiaries, the quarter ended with a positive net profit.

Kouichi Maeda, a SANYO Executive Vice President, commented, "The main goal for this fiscal year in SANYO is returning to profitability in both the consolidated and non-consolidated earnings. Results in the first quarter are in line with our original estimations, and we have taken an important first step towards reaching our goal. Hereafter we will progressively manage respective business management tasks, and make efforts as a whole for the accomplishment of our business goal."

SANYO is currently formulating a 'Master Plan' aimed at recreating its business portfolio with a business strategy targeting sustainable and continued growth and profitability. During the current fiscal year, based on the 'Master Plan' set to be created, a 'New 3-year Mid-term Management Plan' (from FY 2008 ~ FY 2010) will be created to ensure the SANYO Group's future growth.
In addition, forecasts for FY 2007 are unchanged from the original forecast announced May 28, 2007 as below.

Forecast of FY 2007 Consolidated Non-Consolidated
Net sales: ¥2,230,000 million ¥1,450,000 million

Income before income taxes and minority interests/
