Reasons for revision

Although the semiconductor market is on a modest recovery track, the outlook for the economy is becoming increasingly uncertain. The negative factors at work include weak stock prices, depreciation of the dollar and declines in consumer and investor confidence rooted in widespread misgivings concerning US corporate accounting practices, including allegations of illegality, and the health of the US economy.

 

Regarding the forecast of the business performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003, the results for the first six months are expected to exceed the initial forecast announced in May 2002. However, management has revised the forecast for the year as above, taking into account the risk factors for the second half of the year.
