1. Domestic Production

| Mazda3: |
35,071 units (up 13.7% year-on-year) |
| CX-7: |

1,632 units |
2. Overseas production
The overseas production volume was below the figure for the same month last year, down 32.3% on April 2006. Reduced production of the Mazda6, among other models, led to the result, despite steady production of the Mazda3.

3,374 units (up 177.2% year-on-year) |
