Forecast for Fiscal 2006
Performance for the first half of fiscal 2006 represents positive progress.
For the second half of the fiscal year, we see a continuing increase in demand for our major products, including LCD TVs and mobile phones. However, a possible downside is represented by concern over a slowdown in the U.S. economy, which could affect other regions of the world and shift the world economy towards deceleration.
Taking these into consideration, the forecast for all of fiscal 2006 remains in line with the one initially announced. Net sales are expected to reach 3.0 trillion yen, up 7.3%, operating income is projected to be 180.0 billion yen, up 10.0%, while net income is projected to be 100.0 billion yen, up 12.8%, compared to the previous year.

Capital investment is projected to be 275.0 billion yen, up 25.6%, compared to the previous year. Depreciation and amortization is projected to be 225.0 billion yen, up 16.5%, while R&D expenditures are projected at 192.0 billion yen, up 3.6%.

We estimate that exchange rates for the second half will be 115 yen to the U.S. dollar and 145 yen to the euro.
