Q & A Session

Q1. What is your forecast for the unit price decline for NAND flash memory?: We forecast an average price decline of 70% in fiscal year 2006, against the previous year.
Q2. Are there any changes in your semiconductor business capital expenditure plans?: There is no change in our original semiconductor capital expenditure plan of 354 billion yen. We revised the planned production capacity of Fab3 at Yokkaichi Operations from 110,000 wafers a month to 135,000 wafers a month by the end of the 1st half of FY2007. Our plans for Fab 4 remain unchanged, and we are now steadily preparing to start production there in the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 2007. We initially intended to make a decision on the Fab 5 program in the first half of 2007, but we have decided to watch the market some more before doing that.
Q3. What is the rate of operation at each semiconductor plant?: Both Yokkaichi Operations, which manufactures memories, and Oita Operation, which manufactures System LSI, are operating at full capacity.
Q4. What is your 4th quarter forecast for the PC business?: We revised upward the full-year forecast operating income and loss from -7 billion yen to -3 billion yen, thanks to the turnaround in the 3rd quarter. We forecast that operating income will be at break-even for the 4th quarter. Nevertheless, we will make every effort to break-even in full-year operating income.
Q5. What is your TV business strategy?: We have not changed our strategy of growth through focusing on LCD TVs. In SED TVs, we will ramp up the business by procuring SED panels.
Q6. Have you revised your forecasts for the social infrastructure and home appliance segments?: We revised them upward when we announced our 1st half business results in October. They are unchanged since then.
Q7. Will Social Infrastructure Segment operating income increase in the 4th quarter against the 3rd quarter?: For seasonal reasons, we forecast that 4th quarter operating income will increase from the 3rd quarter, as usual.
Q8. What are Westinghouse's sales and operating income, which you have consolidated from October?: We forecast sales of over 100 billion yen in the 2nd half of FY2006. Operating income for the same period is expected to be in the region of several billions of yen, after deducting the cost of amortizing intangible assets.
