2. Reasons for Revisions
   There is growing uncertainty about the outlook for the global economy going forward amid continued slowdowns in economic activity in Europe, China and elsewhere. Under these economic conditions, production of notebook PCs, HDDs and certain other core finished products as well as demand for the electronic components used in them is expected to decline more than originally assumed. As a result, TDK expects business conditions in the second half of fiscal 2013 to remain at a lower level than assumed in previously announced forecasts. TDK has revised consolidated projections as above due to these business conditions.
   • Note: These projections are based on information available to TDK at this time. Actual business performance may vary as a result of various factors arising in the future.
