3. Reasons for the amendments

The full-year consolidated and unconsolidated financial forecasts for FY2012 were tentatively undecided because we could not make reasonable forecasts due to the effects of the 2011 floods in Thailand. Based on information available at the moment and our current estimations, we now amend our forecasts as above.

We believe the consolidated vehicle sales will be 7,380 thousand units for the full-year. The assumption of the foreign exchange rate is 78 yen per U.S. dollar and 109 yen per Euro, for the full-year average.
