2. MANAGEMENT POLICY (1) Basic Business Concept Alpine formulated a 10-year corporate vision in 2005. Under this vision, Alpine strives to be a mobile media solutions company that creates future value based on its corporate philosophy of respecting individuality, creating value and contributing to society. With car audio and IT devices as its mainstay businesses, Alpine is working to enhance corporate value by boldly taking up the challenge of creating new value with its accumulated core technologies. (2) Dividend Policy Alpine has positioned the return of profits to shareholders as a primary management issue. The Company strives to provide stable and improved dividends to its shareholders based on its fundamental policy of determining cash dividends from a balanced consideration of returning value to shareholders, investing in R&D and facilities to strengthen competitiveness, and retaining earnings for future business expansion on a consolidated basis. Alpine acknowledges enforcement of the new Corporation Law and removal of restrictions relating to the payment of dividends. At this stage, the Company does not anticipate a change in its dividend policy. (3) Reduction of Investment Units From the standpoint of increasing liquidity in the market and encouraging participation by a wider range of investors, beginning April 1, 2002, the number of shares per unit was reduced from 1,000 to 100. (4) Benchmarks and Quantitative Targets With an emphasis on the consolidated performance of Group companies both in Japan and overseas, the Company aims to increase consolidated profit and pursue cash flow management. Alpine also aims to improve return on assets (ROA) to more than 5% by improving its net profit ratio and asset turnover, and taking measures to cut inventory assets and interest-bearing debt. (5) Mid-Term Management Strategy and Issues Facing the Company In the car electronics industry, demand is increasing for audio equipment that connects with the latest digital devices, adding intensity to price competition among rival companies. In information communications equipment, a growing percentage of new automobiles are incorporating integrated audio, visual and information equipment as a standard feature. Moreover, automakers are becoming more demanding in terms of product quality, prices and delivery schedules as global competition heats up. In an effort to address these conditions and become a mobile media solutions company that creates future value through the next decade to 2015, Alpine is formulating mid-term management policies that emphasize creativity, passion and challenge in the manufacturing process, and strive to create industry-leading products under a low cost structure. To achieve these mid-term management policies, Alpine is promoting measures based on the following strategies in order to expand corporate value, cultivate new business fields, strengthen operations and enhance earnings. 1) Alpine aims to establish a business foundation by promoting the development of advanced technologies and large-scale system products while further polishing its core technologies through aggressive R&D investment in the information communications equipment market, which is expanding in scale.

2) Alpine aims to strengthen price competitiveness by promoting a fully integrated production structure from local component procurement to component processing and finished product at its global manufacturing bases, while striving to reform its product design systems to secure unrivalled product quality in response to intensifying price competition. 3) Alpine is making every effort to reform its earnings and cost structure as well as improve customer satisfaction by expanding its four-point global business structure in Japan, the U.S., Europe and Asia in terms of sales, procurement, production and development.

3. BUSINESS RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION Business Results In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the North American economy remained firm. Despite the impact of hurricane Katrina and persistently high crude oil prices, the high level of residential housing investment as well as robust personal consumption supported positive conditions. In Europe, Germany exhibited signs of economic growth. Overall conditions in euro-based economies, however, remained weak, with little evidence of a recovery in employment and consumer spending. Healthy growth continued in Asia, and particularly in China. ASEAN economies also expanded on the back of strong exports, buoyed by the significant inflow of overseas investment. In Japan, the implementation of structural reforms in the corporate sector came to an end. Signs of improved earnings emerged, particularly from companies in the consumer electronics and components industries that focus primarily on new technologies for digital products as well as material-related fields. In general terms, the economy continued along a recovery path, underpinned by capital investment growth and increased employment. Conditions in the automobile industry were mixed with increased polarization between successful and slumping companies. Sales by automobile manufacturers in North America stalled impacting the viability of many related parts makers. In Europe, manufacturers continued to face difficult conditions resulting in an increase in restructuring measures. Despite these circumstances, however, sales of energy-conscious vehicles were robust as manufacturers strove to address the high price of crude oil. In the car electronics industry, Alpine’s principal field of operations, market scale expanded, driven by the release of new media such as iPod and equipment compatible with terrestrial digital broadcasting. Positive conditions were also fueled by integrated information and communications equipment that combine car audio, visual and navigation features and increases in the installation rate of integrated units as standard features in new vehicles. In the after-market, however, sales were slow as price competition intensified in a market already contracting in scale due to the aforementioned increased pre-installation. Against this backdrop, Alpine took part in exhibitions both in Japan and overseas showcasing its technologies to principal customers in an effort to secure new orders. By participating in the Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas, Tokyo Auto Salon 2005 and a variety of other events, Alpine is working to increase brand awareness and expand sales. In response to heightened price competition, Alpine bolstered the manufacturing structure of Taicang Alpine Electronics Co., Ltd. At the same time, Alpine undertook capital investment to expand production bases in Thailand and Hungary in response to growing demand from customers for local component procurement. In addition, Alpine actively invested in the development of new products, targeting the mobile multimedia market, where significant growth is expected. Complementing these efforts, Alpine implemented Group-wide initiatives with the aim of reforming its earnings and cost structure. As a result of these factors, consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 amounted to ¥253.9 billion, up 14.0% compared with the previous fiscal year, and supported by a strong performance in information and communication equipment. On the earnings front, anticipatory research and development expenditure impacted profits. Accordingly, operating income declined 4.7% year on year to ¥9.6 billion. Ordinary income fell 6.4% to ¥10.3 billion, while net income contracted 22.2% to ¥6.1 billion reflecting the drop in extraordinary income, specifically gain on return of pension assets previously managed on behalf of the government.

Performance by Segment Audio Products In the Audio Products segment, sales were supported by a strong performance in Alpine’s iPod-compatible automotive CD players, renowned for their quality sound and operability in the after-market. In addition, sales volumes of DD linear speakers and digital amplifiers increased reflecting the growing shift toward DVD audio players and demands for digital sound quality. In North America, the Company began to reap the benefits of efforts to rebuild its large-scale volume-retailer network and sales promotion through a variety of tie-ups. Despite a shrinking after-market, overall sales increased. In the European market, sales to automobile manufacturers of 1-DIN in-dash CD changers and CD players were strong. Robust results were also reported in Japan for CD car audio systems as part of the simultaneous global launch of new vehicles. During the fiscal period under review, the integration of car audio equipment with car navigation and car AV systems gathered pace. This trend was reflected in the Company’s decision to shift a portion of Audio Products sales to Information and Communication Equipment. As a result, the increase in sales in this segment was held to 5.0% year on year. Information and Communication Equipment In the Information and Communication Equipment segment, Alpine strove to expand sales in the domestic after-sales market by launching a new in-dash navigation system featuring audiovisual functions and rear-seat large-screen entertainment systems compatible with terrestrial digital broadcasting. Overseas, Alpine released an in-dash car navigation and AV system featuring pulse-touch controls. Taking full advantage of growing demand for portable navigation systems in North America, Alpine introduced “Black Bird,” an innovative system offering original design and superior operability, in February 2006. In addition to the rising installation rate of integrated systems and other products, sales of new cars by Alpine’s principal automobile manufacturing customer were strong. Furthermore, Alpine commenced delivery of locally developed and produced navigation systems to principal clients during the second half of the fiscal year. As a result of these factors, sales in this segment surged 25.1% year on year. Financial Position (a) Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity Total assets stood at ¥169.5 billion as of March 31, 2006, an increase of ¥13.0 billion as of the end of the previous fiscal year. Stockholders’ equity climbed ¥21.9 billion to ¥110.7 billion as of the fiscal year-end. As a result, the equity ratio rose 8.6 percentage points to 65.3%. Within total assets, current assets rose ¥4.5 billion mainly reflecting increases in cash and time deposits and notes and accounts receivable. Fixed assets increased ¥8.5 billion and mainly comprised tangible fixed assets of machinery and equipment and furniture and fittings, which climbed ¥2.1 billion and investment in securities, which rose ¥3.7 billion. Current liabilities grew ¥1.3 billion. Major components were accrued expenses and provision for product warranties, which climbed ¥1.6 billion and ¥1.1 billion respectively. Income taxes payable declined ¥1.8 billion. Long-term liabilities on the other hand fell ¥10.8 billion. This was mainly attributed to decreases in convertible bonds and accrued retirement benefits. Total stockholders’ equity increased ¥21.9 billion. This was the result of the continued conversion of bonds, which swelled both capital stock and legal capital surplus by ¥5.5 billion, and the increase in retained earnings after accounting for net income of ¥6.1 billion.

(b) Cash Flows For the fiscal year under review, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled ¥33.2 billion, an increase of ¥2.7 billion, or 9.0%, compared with the previous fiscal year-end. Cash Flow from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥12.8 billion, an increase of 3.3%. This was mainly the result of inflows provided by net income before tax and other adjustments of ¥10.1 billion and depreciation and amortization of ¥8.6 billion, and outflows of ¥5.9 billion from the payment of income and other taxes. Cash Flow from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was ¥9.8 billion, up 6.6% compared with the previous fiscal year. Principal components were payments for the acquisition of tangible and intangible fixed assets of ¥8.4 billion and ¥2.4 billion, respectively, and proceeds from the sale of investments in affiliated companies. Cash Flow from Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities totaled ¥1.5 billion, down 4.8%. The principal component was cash dividends paid of ¥1.2 billion. As a result of these activities, free cash flow amounted to ¥3.0 billion, a decrease of 6.1%. Free cash flow is calculated as the sum total of cash flow from operating activities and cash flow from investing activities.

Outlook Japan’s economy moving forward looks to be entering a period of sustained growth. This can be attributed to continued improvement in corporate earnings, the positive flow on to employment markets and active private-sector capital expenditure. This positive outlook, however, is tempered by concerns surrounding the growing disparity among companies, the global high level of crude oil prices and the impact on the economy of an upswing in long-term interest rates. Overseas, conditions also warrant a cautious approach. In North America, the residential housing investment market is expected to enter a correctional phase after a prolonged period of high activity. The U.S. economy is also forecast to feel the effects of rebuilding efforts following the war in Iraq. Europe is also anticipated to confront a number of issues including the growing disparity among euro-based countries. Despite continued expansion in China, concerns are emerging over the nation’s ability to manage stable growth. In the automobile industry, the market is expected to increase its focus on environmentally friendly and safe vehicles. At the same time, global competition is forecast to intensify as demands for simultaneous production and quality increase. In its principal operating market, the automobile electronics industry, Alpine is expected to confront a number of issues including technology development, price competition and globalization. In order to address the demands of automobile manufacturers, Alpine management must enhance its capabilities in each of the aforementioned areas. Under these circumstances, Alpine will continue to pursue active research and development expenditure in growth fields including navigation equipment and information and communication equipment. At the same time, the Company will expand its software development base in China and work to enhance development efficiency. Furthermore, Alpine is committed to delivering unrivalled customer satisfaction and to reinforce its business platform through reform of its earnings and cost structure. Alpine is currently projecting the following figures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, assuming a conversion rate of ¥115 to the U.S. dollar and ¥140 to the euro. 1.

4. BUSINESS AND OTHER RISKS Alpine views the following points as potential risk factors that may affect business development. Alpine bases any forward-looking statements on data current as of this report. (1) Economic Change Alpine develops operations globally centered on the mobile multimedia business. Alpine’s products are sold on various markets around the world directly to end users and indirectly through automakers. Accordingly, economic slowdowns in the Company’s primary markets of Japan, North America, Europe and Asia could adversely affect performance and financial position. (2) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations Alpine derives approximately 80% of its net sales from overseas markets and the financial statements of its overseas subsidiaries are prepared using local currencies. As a result, Alpine is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. An appreciation of the yen against other currencies, especially the US dollar and the euro, have an adverse impact on Alpine’s consolidated performance. Alpine engages in foreign currency hedge transactions such as forward-exchange contracts, but sharp changes in foreign exchange rates could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (3) New Product Development Alpine aggressively invests in R&D to develop attractive new products. In the event that new product development falls behind rapid advances in technology and changes in customer needs, however, future growth and earnings potential would decline and could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (4) Price Competition Price competition is becoming more intense in the mobile multimedia industry in which Alpine operates. In the after-sales market, stand-alone car audio products are susceptible to price competition. Moreover, prices are likely to continue declining as automakers demand cost reductions and rival companies enter the market. Alpine is striving to improve its earnings and cost structure from a global viewpoint. Nevertheless, a decline in sales prices could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (5) Risks Inherent to Advancing Overseas Alpine engages in production and sales activities in the US, Europe, China and other Asian countries. On conducting business in these overseas markets, Alpine is susceptible to risks including 1) unforeseen changes in laws and tax codes, 2) restrictive political and economic factors, 3) terrorism, war and other social unrest. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (6) Supply of Specific Components Alpine internally produces many of its crucial components, but some critical components are procured from outside the Group. In the event that Alpine is unable to procure the necessary volume of components as scheduled due to natural disasters or other reasons at the supplier company, production would be delayed and sales opportunities would be lost, which could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (7) Demands of Corporate Customers Alpine’s OEM business serves automakers from around the world. Alpine aims to expand sales by reforming the order-receiving process over the medium term. Automakers’ demands

9

for better quality, lower prices and shorter delivery times are increasing in response to intense global competition. Sales to corporate customers in this field are affected significantly by changes in the corporate customers’ performance and procurement policies. In addition, customer requests for lower prices could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (8) Intellectual Property Alpine strives to protect its technologies and R&D results through patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. However, intellectual property rights are not fully protected in some regions, and Alpine may not be able to effectively prevent third parties from manufacturing similar products that use Alpine’s intellectual property. Moreover, Alpine’s products and technologies may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of other companies in the future. (9) Product Defects Alpine manufactures various products under stringent quality management processes. However, not all products are free from defects, so there is the possibility of a product recall in the future. Although Alpine is insured against damages from product liability, there are no assurances that this insurance will cover all damages. Product defects that lead to a major recall or product liability damages would incur considerable costs and adversely affect the Company’s reputation. As a result, the Company’s performance and financial position could be adversely affected. (10) Public Laws and Regulations Alpine is subject to various government laws and regulations in countries where it conducts business, including business and investment permits as well as customs duties and other import/export regulations. In the event that the Company was unable to strictly follow these laws and regulations, Alpine’s business activities could be restricted, leading to an increase in costs. Accordingly, these laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company’s performance and financial position. (11) Risk of Natural Disaster Alpine takes thorough measures to prevent damage from natural disasters such as earthquakes, and in the past the company has been able to minimize the impact of natural disasters on its operations. However, in the event of a major natural disaster that is more severe than predicted, there are no assurances that Alpine will be able to completely prevent or lessen the impact of power outages or other interruptions on operations. (12) Lawsuits On January 21, 2003, a lawsuit was brought against Alpine in the Tokyo District Court. The plaintiff of the lawsuit is seeking damages for infringement on the plaintiff’s patents by Alpine’s navigation equipment. On March 30, 2005, the Tokyo District Court dismissed the plaintiff’s lawsuit for damages. Following an appeal by the plaintiff, the lawsuit for damages was again dismissed on December 5, 2005 by the Intellectual Property High Court. The matter is currently before the Supreme Court of Japan. While the court has yet to reach a decision, on the basis of proceeding to date, the lawsuit is unlikely to have a material effect on the Company’s performance or financial position.
