Plan for this fiscal year have not changed from the interim period.

While there is growing concern about weak domestic and U.S. sales volume, increased sales of vehicles such as the Impreza WRX STI and Forester in Europe and other markets are projected to compensate, and net sales will remain unchanged.

Operating income will be explained in detail later, but the projected exchange rate for independent sales in the 2nd half of the financial year has been revised from US$=115 yen to US $=111 yen, and the projected rate for this fiscal year has been changed from US$=118 yen to US$=115 yen. Other factors are expected to compensate for decreased operating income due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Projections for ordinary income and net income also remain unchanged from the interim period.

Non-operating losses are expected due to restructuring of environmental business and so on at the end of the term, and extraordinary losses are anticipated in the 4th quarter of this fiscal year due to factors including the loss from disposal of fixed assets from the former paint shop at the Yajima plant.
