3. Reasons for disclosure
The anticipated results of operations were not disclosed at May 11, 2011 because it was difficult to reasonably estimate due to effect of the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, the Company decided to disclose its anticipated results of operations, considering development of conditions and business performance. (The forecasts are based on the assumption of exchange rates of ¥81=US$1 and ¥115=1Euro, respectively.)
< Cautionary Statements with Respect to Forward-Looking Statements >
This document may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results may differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: general economic conditions in the Company’s markets, particularly government agricultural policies, levels of capital expenditures, both in public and private sectors, foreign currency exchange rates, continued competitive pricing pressures in the marketplace, as well as the Company’s ability to continue to gain acceptance of its products.
