II. Background to the revisions

1. Consolidated results

NEC anticipates net sales of 4, 650.0 billion yen, 30.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast of February 22. Despite forecast higher sales in mobile/personal solutions business than previously anticipated, this is mainly due to decreased sales of IT platform products and revenue recognitions of network systems being forwarded to the next fiscal year in the IT/network solutions business, along with a decrease in sales of electronic components of the electron devices business. Despite an anticipated improvement in results of the mobile/personal solutions business due to increased sales, operating income is expected to fall 15.0 billion yen from the previous forecast to 70.0 billion yen, owing mainly to the decrease in sales of IT platform products and network systems in the IT/network solutions business and a downturn in the electron devices business mainly as a result of a decrease in sales of electronic components.

Despite an increase in non-operating income mainly in affiliated companies, NEC expects ordinary income of 16.0 billion yen, 9.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast, owing to a decrease in operating income.

NEC anticipates consolidated net income of 9.0 billion yen, 31.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast, owing to a decrease in ordinary income and the conservative recording of valuation allowance of approximately 23.0 billion yen for deferred tax assets on a non-consolidated basis.

2. Non-consolidated results

NEC anticipates non-consolidated net sales of 2,210.0 billion yen, 20.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast. Despite anticipated higher sales than previously forecast in the mobile terminals business, this is mainly due to decreased sales in IT platform products and revenue recognitions of network systems being forwarded to the next fiscal year in the IT/network solutions business.

NEC expects non-consolidated ordinary income of 6.0 billion yen, 19.0 billion yen less than the previous forecast as a result of a downturn in the IT/network solutions business resulting from a fall in sales of IT platform products and network systems, despite an anticipated improvement in business results of the mobile terminals business due to increased sales.

Non-consolidated net income is now forecast at 5.0 billion yen, a decrease of 35.0 billion yen from the previous forecast, owing to the conservative recording of valuation allowance of approximately 23.0 billion yen for deferred tax assets.

III. Year-end dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007

NEC expects to pay a year-end dividend of 4 yen per share of common stock for the year ended March 31, 2007 as previously disclosed (an annual dividend of 8 yen per share of common stock, including the interim dividend that has already been paid).
