Reasons for the revision

In the financial results during the second quarter of the consolidated fiscal year (July 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013), sales remained strong for A3 color MFPs (Multi-functional peripherals) in Japan and overseas markets in the Business Technology Business and, along with the impact of foreign exchange rates and corrections to the high yen, the actual results have exceeded the Company's initial estimate. Based on that, net sales, operating income and ordinary income have been respectively revised upward.

On the other hand, at the meeting held today, the Board of Directors adopted the resolution to withdraw from the glass substrates for HDDs business that constitutes part of the Company's Industrial Business. As the Company hereby recorded 16.8 billion yen of loss on business withdrawal as extraordinary loss in the second quarter, net income for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 has been revised downward.

Cautionary Statement:

The above financial results forecasts are based on the assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable at the time of this announcement. It should be noted that actual results may differ from this forecast due to various factors.
