Reasons for Revisions:

-     Sales volume is expected to be much higher than expected, thanks
largely to strong sales of saccharified products for beverages, demand for
which increased due to the hot summer and the government's relaxing of
restrictions on activities for the first time in three years.

-     Sales are expected to increase due to higher by-product prices in
line with higher grain prices, higher sales volume of saccharified products,
and the promotion of product price optimization in response to soaring
raw-material corn market prices and the impact of foreign exchange rates.

-     Based on the above, the full-year forecast for Sales, Operating
income, Ordinary profit and Net income are expected to exceed the previous
forecast.
