2. Reasons for Adjustment
   

   The business environment surrounding the OMRON Group has further worsened since our previous forecast announcement due to the effects of the global financial crisis and ensuing recession. Conditions in the control equipment and electronic components businesses (including automotive electronics) were even worse than expected as market conditions deteriorated.

   In addition, OMRON accounted for the impairment of goodwill and fixed assets in order to accelerate the business structure reform it began in February 2009 with the aim of strengthening its revenue base while at the same time working to ensure sound management and fair valuation of assets. As a result, the Company now predicts additional non-operating losses of approximately 39.0 billion yen and has adjusted its consolidated performance forecast for fiscal 2008 accordingly.

   Going forward, the OMRON Group will continue to implement emergency (crisis response) measures and business structure reform, with employees working together as one to ensure swift improvement in business performance.

   Breakdown of Newly Anticipated Non-Operating Losses

   1) Impairment of goodwill	16.6 billion yen
   2) Impairment of fixed assets	20.9 billion yen
   3) Additional impairment of investment securities	2.2 billion yen
