2. Basis for Projections

At the time of the April 27 announcement of financial results for FY March 2011, consolidated projections for FY March 2012 were delayed because it was not possible to extrapolate reasonable projections of business performance due to the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, based on consideration of such factors as the recent market environment and trends in the TDK Group's business performance, the company determined that projections can be ascertained to a certain degree, hence their disclosure at this time.

Notes: These projections are based on information available to TDK at this time. Actual business performance may vary as a result of various factors arising in the future. Please note that exchange rates of 80 yen per US dollar and 110 yen per euro were assumed for FY March 2012.
