2. Reasons for Revised Forecast

Compared with the previous forecast, we now expect increased earnings as a result of: (1) reduced costs through rationalization aimed at the creation of an earnings structure improvement; (2) valuation gain on long-term loans denominated in foreign currencies to subsidiaries; and (3) a reduction in valuation loss on investment securities.
