III. Reasons for the Revision
The reasons for the revision financial results forecasts of the fiscal year 2002 (ending March 31, 2003) are as follows.

1. The current, against the backdrop of the global slump in the information technology industry, conditions remained challenging, with restrained capital investment by companies in the telecommunications field, which are Anritsu's main customers. Sales of measurement equipment for mobile communications are expected to be strong supported by solid demand centered on the W-CDMA (next-generation mobile communications system). However, measurement equipment and devices for digital and optical communications are expected to be severely impacted by restrained capital investment especially high-speed and broadband optical communications-related market in the United States. As a result, Anritsu projects a decrease in sales.

2. At the time of Anritsu's disclosure of results of the fiscal year 2001 (ending March, 2002) on April 25, 2002, Anritsu announced that costs of structural reforms such as reducing inventories and including those related to the dissolution and restructuring of internal companies were an uncertain factor that might exert an impact on its business outlook. Anritsu now estimates that it will record a extraordinary loss on valuation and disposal of inventories of approximately 11.5 billion yen (9.8 billion yen on a non-consolidated basis) for the first half of the current fiscal year.

3. In connection with the enactment of the Defined Benefit Corporate Pension Law, Anritsu plans to
file an application in August 2002 for the return of the portion of the employee's pension fund it holds in trust. As a result, the Company estimates that it will record approximately 5.5 billion yen (approximately 5.2 billion yen on a non-consolidated basis) as extraordinary income for the first half of the current fiscal year.
