Notice on Revision of Dividend Forecast

We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors resolved at a meeting held on January 25, 2006 that the Company would revise the dividend for the term ended December 2005. The details of the revision are provided below.
 

NOTE
[ 1 ] Reason for the revision of dividend forecast
 

We have forecasted dividends to shareholders of three yen per share for the term ended December 2005. As a result of sales during the term being remained strong, we expect to exceed our planned sales. Profits are also expected to be larger than initially anticipated. Both sales and profits will be higher than the figures recorded last year. Consequently, we will change the final dividend for the term ended December 2005 to four yen per share, as a means of showing appreciation to our shareholders for their support.

The dividend of four yen per share will be increased by one yen from the level of three yen per share announced on August 17, 2005.
