Reason for revision
The revision is due to an expected increase in net sales compared to the earlier forecast, primarily in the SPE division, thanks to more active capital investment by semiconductor manufacturers, and to an expected improvement in the profit ratio due to the effect of cost reductions.

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.
