3. Reasons for the Amendments
Among the figures for consolidated and non-consolidated business performance for Fiscal Year 2009, net revenues and the profits are projected to fall below the previously announced projected figures, due to factors such as the decrease in the number of automobiles subcontracted for production by Toyota Motor Corporation to the Company, the decrease in the number of automobiles sold in Japan, as well as the trend of stronger yen in the currency exchange market and the impact of rising raw material prices.
(Note) The prospective figures for the business performance stated above are based upon information that is currently
in the Company's possession and upon certain premises that the Company deems reasonable.The Company's
actual future performance or other similar results could differ materially from those discussed above, due to
various factors.
