The three-month average of worldwide bookings in May were 117,327 million yen ($1.07 billion), up 2.4 percent from the revised April 2005 level and down 24 percent from the orders posted in May 2004. The three-month average of worldwide billings in May were 128,439 million yen ($1.18 billion), down 6.1 percent from the revised April 2005 level and down 17 percent from the May 2004 billings level. The figures indicate that the Japanese chip-equipment industry is slowing.
