2. Reasons for revision (consolidated)

The global economic environment has deteriorated further in the fourth quarter ending December 2008 (from October 1, 2008, to December 31, 2008), and domestic and overseas demand for housing, automobile, home electronics plunged more than expected. The Company expects further negative impact on the operating results for the AGC Group as a whole, including a significant drop in shipment of glass substrates for flat panel displays.

In addition, non-operating expenses are estimated to exceed the previous forecast due to rapid fluctuations in foreign exchange markets.

As a result, the outlook for consolidated net sales, operating income, ordinary income, and net income are expected to fall short of the outlook for consolidated operating results announced on October 31, 2008.
