2. Backgrounds to the revised forecast

TPK has revised its October 30, 2002 forecast for fiscal year 2002. The new
forecast sees consolidated sales revised down by 1.5 billion yen, an increase in
ordinary income of 0.2 billion yen, and a fall in net income of 0.15 billion
yen. On a non-consolidated basis, sales are expected to decline by 2 billion
yen, ordinary income will increase by 0.4 billion yen, and net income will
decrease by 0.1 billion yen.

The increase in non-consolidated income primarily reflects the company's
successful efforts to reduce SG&A. However, a consolidated subsidiary recorded a
loss in  construction contract, and an extraordinary loss was recorded as a
result of the fall in the stock valuation of this subsidiary. The forecast for
ordinary income remains similar to that in the previous forecast. This will be
achieved by realizing an extraordinary profit, equivalent to the extraordinary
loss, from the sale of stock owned by TPK. Net income will be reduced as a
result of the valuation losses which did not recognize the deferred tax assets.
