1-3. Explanation of Revision

Fujitsu revised its consolidated operating income forecast for the first half of fiscal 2006 upward by 15.6 billion yen compared to the forecast issued in July, to 50.6 billion yen. The upward revision reflects better than expected business performance in areas including services outside Japan and electronic components, as well as in solutions/systems integration in Japan, network equipment and hard disk drives. The increase in consolidated operating income is expected to result in significantly higher consolidated net income than was previously forecast.

2. Recording of Loss on Devaluation of Subsidiaries' and Affiliates' Stock

With respect to its first-half unconsolidated results, Fujitsu has recorded a loss of 9.3 billion yen on devaluation of subsidiaries' and affiliates' stock. As a result, the increase in unconsolidated net income over the previously forecast figure is expected to be limited to 2.8 billion yen.
