text: **Nissan 180 commitments**
  
  Fiscal 2004 marked the end of our NISSAN 180 business plan. Obviously, NISSAN 180 cannot 
  
  be closed completely until the end of September 2005, but we know that we have already 
  
  delivered two of the plan’s three critical commitments. 
  
  • We committed to an 8 percent operating profit margin, and our margin has been at or above 
  
  10 percent for every year of NISSAN 180. 
  
  • We committed to zero debt, and today we have more than ¥200 billion in net cash under the 
  
  new and more demanding accounting standards. 
  
  • Our only remaining commitment is to achieve one million additional sales. Even here we are in 
  
  reasonably good shape. At the midpoint of the measurement period we are at 1,809,000 units, 
  
  which is a slight advance compared to our commitment to reach 3,597,000 units by the end of 
  
  September 2005.
