3. Reason for the revision of consolidated forecast results for the first half
Net sales of DVD-related products and printers rose steadily and are projected to exceed theCompany’s plan. Net sales for the LCD television product lineup, which the Company expanded withthe addition of Philips-brand products, also increased sharply compared with the same period of theprevious fiscal year. Because of the panel procurement shortage resulting from the rapid global
growth of LCD TV demand and unexpected other factors, however, LCD TV net sales are projected tobe less than the Company’s plan.
Based on these forecasts, the Company projects total net sales will be less than planned.
Although net sales will fall below the plan, the increased earnings effect from the growth in LCD TV
net sales has been substantially greater than planned and has significantly improved earnings.
Earnings have been further boosted by net sales of DVD-related products and information equipment,
which were also higher than the Company’s plan.
Based on the above factors, Funai Electric Co., Ltd. has revised its consolidated net sales, operating
income, ordinary income and net income for the first half announced on August 10, 2009.

4. Full-year consolidated operating results forecast (April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010)Although Funai Electric expects the panel procurement shortage to be eliminated from the thirdquarter, the Company anticipates no change in the strengthening tendency of the yen and also
expects keen price competition, particularly in the audio-visual equipment category, to continue.
Furthermore, in the United States, the Funai Group’s largest market, market surveys project that salesof LCD televisions, the Company’s core product, will grow steadily even though customer traffic during
the year-end sales season is likely to be lower than in the previous year. On the other hand, privateconsumption expenditures are being restrained by concerns over employment, which may most likely
bring a possibility prices will slip further as well. Overall the situation remains uncertain.
As a result of considering these conditions, Funai Electric Co. Ltd. has revised the consolidated fiscal
year operating results forecast announced on May 13, 2009 as described above.
