2. Reasons for the Revision
   In Fiscal Year 2009, sales are expected to increase as we planned and we have been taking various measures to reduce fixed cost. As a result, we have turned into the black from June thereafter and we expect operating profit in the 3rd quarter (Jul-Oct), 09 for the first time in the past four quarters. Based on these backgrounds, we decided to revise the full year forecast as we expect to significantly improve both operating income and ordinary income for the full year as well.
   
   Forecast of consolidated net profit will not be revised. This is due to our plan to record business restructuring cost in the 4th quarter in order to further improve our cost structure thoroughly as the countermeasure of uncertain business environment which we expect would last for some time.
   
   We are going to disclose the results of the 3rd quarter FY2009 on 29th Oct, 09.
