Amid slack economic conditions throughout the world as well as surges in the prices of natural resources and raw materials, the operating environment in the current fiscal year ending March 2009 has been harsher than that of previously forecasted. Moreover, economic trends are expected to be further deteriorating and there will be less possibility of the early improvement in the operating environment. In response to these situations we intend to pursue the profit improvement initiatives such as additional cost down programs, cutting back the SG&A expenses and the structural reforms.
Considering the impact of the additional expenses for those initiatives and further deterioration of operating environment, we are revising our estimated earnings forecast downward as for the first half period and full fiscal year.
Note: These forecast are based on the Company’s current assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently available to it, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
