Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (4502) Consolidated Financial Statements for Fiscal 2009 - 4 - [Qualitative Information and Financial Statements] 1. Results of Operations (1) Analysis of Operation Results 1) Introduction Whole of the pharmaceutical industry has tendency to face a number of challenges, such as stagnation in creating breakthrough novel drugs due to the difficulties of translating new innovations to products in the marketplace, and increasingly strict criteria for the approval of new drugs in advanced countries. Drastic changes in the healthcare systems are underway in many countries, by which it is anticipated that the pharmaceutical industry will be considerably affected. First of all, in the U.S., a bill of healthcare reform which aims to increase the ratio of the insured population was passed. Under the bill, pharmaceutical companies are requested to bear the burden of some portion of funds in order to finance the expansion of available health insurance by increase of the number of po

The Takeda-Plan Healthcare Access Program Activities in Japan and Asia The Plan Japan, which assists children in developing countries, is a member of Plan International, a global NGO registered by the United Nations that is active in 65 countries throughout the world. In August 2009, Takeda partnered with Plan Japan to start the Takeda-Plan Healthcare Access Program. Improving the health of children in developing countries requires measures that match the differing needs of each region. There are often significant differences from country to country concerning needs involving public hygiene, nutrition, healthcare services and disease prevention. The Takeda-Plan program will operate in China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. The aim is to conduct extensive activities for giving children better access to healthcare. All four individual projects to take place as part of the Takeda-Plan program will help contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals* that were established by the United Nations
34 Intellectual property activities are vital to our ability to contribute to society as a provider of outstanding pharmaceutical products The Four Central Themes of Intellectual Property Activities Well over 10 years is needed for the R&D process that extends from drug discovery to final approval of a new pharmaceutical product. Furthermore, despite the enormous expenditures required to develop drugs, only a very small percentage of compounds reach the market. Drugs that are approved for sale in most cases are protected by a substance patent, which covers the drug's active ingredient. This patent is critical to the R&D process. Prospects for obtaining a patent can even be the deciding factor in whether or not to proceed with the development of a product. This is why all pharmaceutical companies place so much importance on the effective use of intellectual property, including basic patents. Without sufficient intellectual property, companies would be unable to generate the earnings needed for drug developmen
42 Japanese Market The Wakayama Representative Office (clockwise from left): Yuuichi Ohmoto, Tomotaka Sakurai, Keita Nakajima (Manager), Megumi Tanaka, Nobukazu Takamori, Kazuhiro Hosono, Hirokazu Nakamoto A more powerful platform for global marketing enhancing Takeda's stature in Japan, the U.S., Europe and Asia Takeda positions Japan, its home country, as a primary source of growth for the entire group. However, market conditions in Japan are challenging: to bring down health care expenses, the Japanese government is promoting generic drugs and expanding DPC (Diagnosis Procedure Combination). Within this context, our goal is to retain our leading market position, and we intend to do this by reinforcing our commitment to operating from the perspective of health care professionals and, above all, patients. Japan's No. 1 Drug Company Again in Fiscal 2008 Takeda's ethical drug sales in Japan increased 3.6 percent to 549.0 billion in fiscal 2008. In addition to leadership overall, we ranked first in drug sales
18 Stakeholder's Voice Working to contribute to society as a responsible corporate citizen in the local community CSR Activity in France For the past six years, Laboratoires Takeda (LT) and the French Association of Friedreich's Ataxia (AFAF) have been collaborating to promote diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia and distribution of information to patients and health professionals. Friedreich's ataxia is a rare genetic neurological disease characterized by difficulties in coordinating movements associated with neurological signs. It is a progressive disease, rendering sufferers unable to walk unaided within 10 to 20 years of its onset. The rarity of the disease means there is often a lack of awareness and comprehension among patients and their loved ones. In 2007, the fourth year of collaboration between AFAF and LT, LT began a volunteer assistance program. Over two days, several volunteer employees wearing orange tee-shirts looked after patients and families by helping patients to eat, move and enjoy intense hu
