Important points concerning future prospects

Current plans, prospects, strategy and convictions indicated in this report in connection with Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter AISIN) are forecasts of future results unless they are historical facts. These are based on judgments made by senior management at AISIN obtained from information that can be obtained at the present time and they inevitably include risk and uncertainty. It should be appreciated that a variety of factors may result in a situation where the actual results are different from these forecasts.

The following are among the risk and uncertainty factors that may have an influence on actual results: 1) Changes in economic conditions, exchange rates, laws, regulations, policies or political conditions affecting the main business sectors in which AISIN is involved; 2) Environmental changes affecting AISIN’s ability and capacity to develop new products in a timely manner and in line with the expectations of customers; 3) Fuel supply shortages, paralysis of traffic functions, strikes, interruption of work, and difficulty of obtaining sufficient manpower in the markets for AISIN products and in regions where parts, materials and equipment are procured; 4) Consequences of fortuitous events. However, factors that may have an influence on results are not exclusively restricted to the above factors.
