3. Reasons for revision
For full year operating results in this year, MARUWA expects to secure a revenue increase and a
double-digit increase in profit compared to the last year; however, we forecast that net sales will
sharply drop against the previous outlook, influenced by the shrinkage of public works in the
Lighting Equipment business harder than we expected.  In addition, in the EMC Components division,
total sales may fall below the initial outlook due to delay in a certain new market launch which had
been initially scheduled.  In these circumstances, we revise the operating results forecasts as
stated above.
