2. Basis for the revision

Ricoh assumes the consolidated net sales of both domestic and overseas market are lower than our previous forecast. However, Ricoh expects the operating income, income before income taxes and net income attributable to Ricoh Company, Ltd. surpass our previous forecast the fact that Ricoh's group-wide cost reduction efforts offset the decrease in the gross profit stemming from the decrease in the net sales.

• * Ricoh bases the forecast estimates above upon information currently available to management, which involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
