3. Reasons for the Revisions

 

Wakodo and Wakodo-group have experienced increased competition from other competitors. Although net sales are steady, as the profit rate for principal products dropped and raw materials costs increased, among other factors, sales profits have fallen short of initial estimates. As selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded forecasts, ordinary income is expected to fall short of initial estimates. Additional expenses were also accrued from such factors as the disposal of fixed assets accompanying the closure of the Tokyo factory. As a result, net income is also expected to fall short of initial estimates.

 

As was announced on May 13, 2005, dividends of 25 yen per share shall be paid, and combined with interim period payments, a total of 50 yen will be paid annually.

 

Note: The above estimates were prepared on the basis of information obtainable at the time of this announcement. Actual results may differ from the figures estimated above due to unforeseen circumstances.
