Reasons for Adjustment (1) Consolidated Ordinary Profit As profit by the equity method is expected to be lower than the initial forecast, forecast of consolidated ordinary profit has been adjusted. (2) Current Net Profit Regarding manufacturing and sales of Fresnel lenses for rear-projection TVs, the core product of our business, the market has rapidly been shrinking due to the emergence of plasma TVs and liquid crystal TVs. As a result, we decided on withdrawal from this business and retirement of production facilities and inventories of the business. As extraordinary losses of approximately \900 million are expected including the aforementioned retirement, we have adjusted the forecast for both consolidated and individual current net profit. * The above forecast is based on the information which the Company has currently obtained and certain assumptions that the Company determines to be reasonable and the actual results might significantly vary from the forecast depending on various factors.
