(3) Explanation of Revisions to Financial Results Forecasts
First Half
The changes reflect improved profitability in such areas as solutions/systems integration, infrastructure services, and electronic components, as well as the impact of higher demand for mobile phone base station systems and optical transmission systems, and progress in cost reductions and greater efficiency in expenses.
Full Year
In light of the company's traditional business structure—in which sales and profits tend to be concentrated in the fourth quarter—and with the domestic IT market still on the slow road to recovery, operating income for the full-year period is expected to remain in line with the previous forecast. In spite of an expected increase of 10.0 billion yen in other income (expenses) resulting from a reduction in amortization of unrecognized obligation for retirement benefits owing to changes in the pension system, due to fluctuations in corporate income tax and other factors, the full-year net income forecast has been left unchanged.

(3) Explanation of Revisions to Financial Results Forecasts
First Half
Net sales are expected to exceed the previous projection due to organizational realignment within the Group. In regard to profits, as with the consolidated first-half earnings forecast, higher demand and improved profitability for certain products and services, together with greater efficiency with respect to expenses are expected to lead to better than previously forecast operating income and, because of factors including higher dividends from subsidiary companies, other income (expenses) is expected to improve by 14.0 billion yen. However, as a result of a 17.0 billion yen loss on investments in affiliated companies, net income is expected to remain in line with the previous forecast.
Full Year
For similar reasons mentioned above with respect to the full-year consolidated earnings forecast, full-year unconsolidated operating income is expected to remain in line with the previous forecast. Likewise, despite an increase of 25.0 billion yen in other income (expenses) relating to the impact of pension system revisions and the increase in dividends from subsidiary companies, because of such factors as a loss on investments in affiliated companies, full-year net income is expected to be in line with the previous forecast.
