---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Reason for difference
The difference from consolidated forecast is caused by the material damage and
decline of sales in Japan due to the aftermath of the Great East Japan
Earthquake.
3. The effect of the Great East Japan Earthquake
As a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, Ricoh suffered
damage to its equipment in manufacturing, sales, service and R&D sites in the
affected areas. In addition, the sales and shipments of products were delayed
widely in Japan due to the shattered transport systems and the shortage of
gasoline.
Ricoh established a taskforce for emergency disaster control shortly after the
quake took place and was working hard to assure full recovery. Consequently,
while the amount of damage caused by the disaster came to about Yen 9.4 billion,
the production bases have been restored to the nearly normal operational status
by the middle of April. For the future, Ricoh Group is planning to minimize the
influence on product supplies by continuing to produce products with the stock
components and use the alternative components to eliminate a supply shortage.
