[Qualitative information on consolidated financial results]
     While the market demand declined in the U.S., the addition of domestic air tools related sales — the business acquired in January last year — and strong sales in Western European market and emerging markets such as Eastern Europe/Russia, Central and South America, the Middle East, etc. supported strong sales. In addition, the value of Japanese yen continued to fall, adding to the sales figures after translation into Japanese yen. In the end, the net sales reached 202,689 million yen, a 22.3% growth from the same period of the previous year.
     With regard to earnings, operating income reached 35,464 million yen (ratio of operating income to net sales; 17.5%), which was a decline of 0.2% from the same period of the previous year, income before income taxes reached 36,489 million yen (ratio of income before income taxes to net sales; 18.0%), a decline of 5.8% and net income reached 25,435 million yen (ratio of net income to net sales; 12.5%), a decline of 26.1%. The main reason for said declines is the special factors that occurred last year — namely, appropriation of about 8.5 billion yen in operating income and about 11.9 billion yen in net income ascribed to a gain from transfer of business pertinent to completion of civil rehabilitation process of a domestic golf club subsidiary, and appropriation of about 2.5 billion yen in income before income taxes and about 1.5 billion yen in net income ascribed to a gain from exchange of the former UFJ Holdings stocks. If these special factors are removed, operating income, income before income taxes, and net income in this third quarter will turn into an increase.

Outlook for the year ending March 31, 2007 (from April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007)
                 
 
            Yen (million)  
            For the year ending  
            March 31, 2007  
Consolidated Basis:
               
Net sales
            273,000  
Operating income
            44,500  
Income before income taxes
            46,000  
Net income
            31,700  
Net income per share (Yen)
            220.59  
 
Non-consolidated Basis:
               
Net sales
            124,000  
Operating income
            20,000  
Ordinary profit
            32,500  
Net income
            22,200  
Net income per share (Yen)
            154.48  
 
Assumption:
               
The above outlook is based on the assumption of exchange rates of 117 yen to US$1 and 150 yen to 1 Euro.
               
[Qualitative information about the outlook for the year ending March 31, 2007]
     Consolidated results for the year ending March 31, 2007 are expected to show sales and profits exceeding previous outlook, helped by strong sales in Western Europe, Eastern Europe/Russia, Central and South America and the Middle East as well as the foreign exchange market that transitioned toward depreciation of the yen.
     As for non-consolidated results for the year ending March 31, 2007, since the shift of the production to the China plant have been going smoothly, net sales will fall short of previous outlook. In terms of profits, it is likely to exceed previous outlook owing to the depreciation of the yen.
     Based on the above, the corrections are made according to the “Revision of the Outlook for Performance” announced today.

Note:   The annual dividend will be set according to the Company’s policy for distribution of earnings, which is to maintain a consolidated dividend payout ratio* of 30% or more.
    In addition, the dividend for the second half of the fiscal year will be calculated by deducting the interim dividend from the annual dividend, and the final decision for the dividend will be made at the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in June 2007.
*   The consolidated dividend payout ratio is calculated as annual dividends per share divided by consolidated net income per share (after adjustments for special factors) and 100 is multiplied.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Therefore, these statements should not be interpreted as representation that such objectives will be achieved.
