Sales were good at a total of 7.7 thousand units more than the previous year due to a new car effect of the B9 Tribeca, driving sales up US$331 million. Operating loss increased by US$9 million on a year-on-year basis to US$19 million due to an increase in incentives and advertising costs despite the improved sales volume and mixture resulting from the introduction of the B9 Tribeca. This year fell in net loss of US$4 million down by US$ 6 million from the same period of last year.

SIA's production volume increased by 13.4 thousand units, and sales rose by US$175 million, thanks to start of production for the B9 Tribeca, even though there was a decrease in consignment production for Isuzu. Despite the introduction of the B9 Tribeca improved sales volume and mixture and cost reduction has been progressed, which generated an increase of US$35 million, the increase in the depreciation costs for the B9 Tribeca, Legacy and suppliers' dies, and the increases in labor and other expenses associated with the start of production of the B9 Tribeca resulted in a net operating loss of US$22 million.
Furthermore, current net loss increased US$94 million to US$169 million due to an extraordinary loss posted for retirement of lease equipment and cancellation of consignment production contract in March. This extraordinary loss has been written off in the consolidated adjustment account for the fiscal year ended March 2005.
