Reasons for revision

Demand for semiconductors has rapidly decreased, due to the global economic stagnation triggered by a slow down in the US economy. Semiconductor manufacturers cut their investment plans and the business environment has become very harsh.

Therefore, the sales and profit from our semiconductor production equipment fell short of the financial forecast made on 18 May, 2001 and the company has decided to revise its financial forecast.
