    Note:

    The breakdown of results has been reclassified to conform to the organization change on July 1, 2011, as have the numeric amounts for the previous year. In this release, the revision was indicated from the reclassified numeric amounts announced on October 31, 2011.

    2. Reasons for revision

    Businesses of Toshiba Group have been influenced greatly by changes in the business environment, including the progress of sharp yen appreciation, the impact of the flooding in Thailand and deterioration in markets due to financial uncertainty in some European countries. In these circumstances, even though the Social Infrastructure segment recorded higher sales and higher operating income compared with the same period a year earlier, Toshiba's overall consolidated net sales and operating income (loss) are expected to decrease from the figures anticipated in the previous forecast. The main impacts are expected to be felt in the Visual Products business, which includes LCD TVs, and the Semiconductor business.

    In light of this, the Company has revised its business forecast for FY 2011, ending March 31, 2012, and its forecasts by industry segment for FY2011.
