(3) Reason for Revision The reason for the revision of the Net Sales is due to a sudden change in the balance of supply and demand since the latter half of last year. Effect of production adjustments by Taiwanese power supply manufacturers was the main reason. However, placing importance on profit figures over sales figures, the company sought reduction of production costs and promoted concentration of high-profit-making products. As a result, Net Income is expected to exceed the initial forecast figure. The decrease in profit of non-consolidated financial result is due to change of sales of Circuit Ceramic Products previously purchased from Malaysia Factory to direct sales. The construction began this year for the new factory initially planned for next year. As a result, it is expected that mass production capacity will be ready for next year when the products sold are to undergo recovery. And with launch of new products, business is expected to yield much contribution.
