3.Reasons for the revisions

Although consolidated net sales are expected to fall slightly short of our forecasts for the first two quarters of FY2009, operating income, ordinary income and net income are expected to surpass our original forecasts due to the effects of emergency measures to boost profits.
We revise upward full-year forecasts to account for the outperformance anticipated in the first half, but make no changes to our second-half forecasts because the outlook remains unclear despite recent trends indicating economic recovery.

※The above forecasts were prepared based on information available as of the date this document was released. Actual results may differ from estimates due to various future events.
