Reason for revision
Although there is a risk of protracted recession because of deteriorating employment conditions in Europe and North America, it is expected that the overall economy, and Asia in particular, will experience a modest recovery. In the semiconductor-related market, a full-scale recovery has yet to be achieved, but there are expectations that capital investment by semiconductor manufacturers will gradually increase, as evidenced by the recovery in semiconductor prices and the rising operating rates for production equipment. Under these conditions, the Company expects sales of semiconductor production equipment and FPD production equipment, its main businesses, to increase during fiscal year compared to the earlier forecast.
Taking these circumstances into account, the Company has revised the forecast of consolidated financial results for the entire fiscal year.

Note: The content of the financial forecast as described in this financial statement is based on certain reasonable assumptions, drawing on the information currently available such as the economic situation in Japan and throughout the world and other variable factors that have impact on the financial results of the Company.
These assumptions may be influenced by market conditions, competitive conditions, the introduction of new products and their success or failure, the global condition of the semiconductor industry and other uncertainties. Therefore, actual sales and profit may differ significantly from the forecast.
