(2) Reason for difference
Regarding operating income, it was mainly due to a decrease in sales both
in Japan and overseas market in the background of further deterioration business
environment after the previous forecast was announced and to expenditure on the
structural reform cost.
Regarding income before income taxes, it was mainly caused by the loss on
revaluation of investments securities in addition to the decline of the
operating income.
Regarding net income, it was mainly caused by summing up the valuation
allowance to the deferred tax assets in addition to the decline of the income
before income taxes.

(2) Reason for revision of the forecast of dividends
Ricoh basically enforces stable returning profits to shareholders
considering the dividend payout ratio. As the actual of consolidated financial
results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 has been below the previous
forecast as mentioned above, Ricoh has revised the forecast of dividends amount
per share to 15.00 yen for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Combined with
the interim dividend of 18.00 yen, the annual dividend will be 33.00 yen, or the
same amount as the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
