3. Reasons for the revision of projected full-year operating results
Through the interim period, the operating environment surrounding the Kanamoto Group, which is developing operations
mainly in construction-related businesses, benefitted from domestic construction equipment rentals in local areas for
supplementary budget-related works funded by the government’s emergency economic package. Revenues were also
supported by comparatively strong factors such as steady overseas sales of used construction equipment that
accompanied the economic growth in various other countries, including those in Southeast Asia. Since the third quarter,Notification Concerning Revision of Projected Full-Year Operating Results

however, firms have operated under an extremely strong air of uncertainty, and construction demand was expected todecelerate swiftly. This shift in business conditions was driven by multiple factors, including the lack of urgent economic
stimulus measures, the beginning of the slow season for construction work and a political hiatus in the run-up to nationalelections.
Despite these circumstances, the Company judges it will be able to avoid a large decrease in earnings from the third
quarter under the present situation because the sense of a slowdown is weaker than initially assumed, and the economy
remains comparatively steady, and has revised its earnings projection for the full year at this time.

4. Other matters
Because of its intent to maintain a stable dividend, the Company plans to obtain, at the Board of Directors meeting toapprove its settlement of accounts, a resolution for a year-end dividend of ¥10 per share as shown in its initial projection.
The Company will release its Earnings Announcement for the Business Period Ending October 2010 on December 10.
EndThese projected consolidated operating results materials were prepared using projections based on information available
to the Company as of the date this material was released and forecasts of the future economic environment, and include

results will differ from the projected figures shown above as a result of various future factors, including but not limited toeconomic conditions surrounding the Kanamoto Group, market trends, and competitive conditions.
