II. Reasons for the Revision
Anritsu Corporation revises consolidated forecast for
FY2004 because of the unexpected sales decrease of measurement instruments
in the Asian markets, especially in China. On the other hand,
non-consolidated forecast is not revised since growth of the domestic sales
of measuring instruments has remained intact due to capital investments with
steady expansion of third-generation (3G) mobile communication services in
Japan, despite of a slump of orders for information and communication
equipment in Japanese governments market.
