Reason for Revision of Results Forecast

 

Consolidated net sales are expected to be in line with our previous forecast. However, we have revised income forecasts, owing to such factors as cost reductions and an improvement in our product mix, particularly in Japan, and to the impact outlined in the press release titled “Announcement Regarding Results of Acceptance of Self-Tender Offer Initiated by Japan Vilene,” published January 20, 2010 (available in Japanese only).
