In the markets related to semiconductors and flat panel displays (FPDs), inventory adjustments for semiconductors and electronic components, which began in the second half of last year, have run their course and semiconductor and FPD manufacturers continue to make brisk capital investments. Under these circumstances, net sales by TEL's semiconductor and FPD production equipment divisions are expected to exceed previous forecasts.

As announced on April 19, 2005, TEL's new dividend policy is to aim for a payout ratio of 20% based on consolidated net income for the current term, starting with the payment of interim and year-end dividends for the fiscal year ending March 2006.
