Note 1: The above forecast is revised from the one disclosed on May 8, 2014

2: Assumed exchange rates in the latter half of this fiscal year are;
1 U.S. dollar = 105 Yen 1 Euro = 135 Yen

Reason for the revision:


Due to the circumstances such as the yen weaker than our assumption, net sales, operating income and ordinary income are expected to exceed the previous forecast announced on May 8, 2014. However, due to the situations such as recognizing the loss on violation of antitrust law as extraordinary loss in the second quarter, net income is expected to be below the previous forecast. Therefore, we revise our forecast for this fiscal year as above.

Disclaimer statements:

The above forecast is based on information available at the time of this announcement. Therefore, we cannot guarantee accuracy and completeness of the forecast due to various factors.
