(2) Reason of revision

The upward revision of the performance projection for the fiscal year ended March 2013 published on February 6, 2013, is predicated mainly on the progressing correction of the strong yen and reduction of material and overhead costs. Notably, net income is expected to exceed the previously announced projection by a considerable margin, reflecting the forthcoming accounting recognition of deferred income taxes of ¥44,216 million as stated below in "2. Accounting recognition of deferred tax assets".


Note: The projections of full-year consolidated results are based on assumed foreign exchange rates of ¥82/US$ (previously ¥82/US$) and ¥106/EUR (previously ¥105/EUR).

2. Accounting recognition of deferred tax assets

As the result of a review of the potential for the recovery of deferred tax assets conducted in the light of the latest favorable trends in business performance, based on prospects that taxable income will continue to be generated, deferred income taxes of ¥44,216 million is expected to be recognized on the accounts for the fiscal year ended March 2013.


3. Accounting recognition of non-operating expenses (foreign exchange losses)

Due to foreign exchange fluctuations, exchange losses of ¥15,527 million is expected to be recognized in non-operating expenses on the accounts for the fiscal year ended March 2013.
