(Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Financial Results)

     During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, Advantest's operating
environment remained robust owing to continuous strong sales of flat-screen TVs,
DVD recorders and other digital consumer products and the increased capital
expenditure needs of Japanese semiconductor makers amidst stabilization of DRAM
prices and steady demand for PCs. As a result, Advantest was able to exceed by
far its 1Q projections set forth at the beginning of the current fiscal year.
During the quarter, incoming orders increased by 143.6% to (Y) 77.6 billion
from the same quarter of last year and net sales increased by 165.2% to (Y) 72.0
billion from the same quarter of the preceding year.  In terms of profits, the
income before income taxes increased 94.1 times as much as the same quarter of
the previous year to (Y) 22.6 billion and net quarterly income, 97.7 times as
much as the same quarter of the previous year to (Y) 13.9 billion.  Overseas
sales as a percentage of total sales was 73.6%, as compared to 60.3% in the same
quarter of last fiscal year.

(Results by Business Segment)

In accordance with the restructuring of the business and organization Advantest
regrouped its two business segments - "Automated Test Equipment" and "Measuring
Instruments" - into three business segments -
"Semiconductor and Component Test System", "Mechatronics System" and "Services,
Support and Others" effective from April 1, 2004.  With respect to results by
business segment for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, incoming
orders, net sales and operating income of the Semiconductor and Component Test
System business segment were (Y) 58.8 billion, 54.0 billion and 19.3 billion
respectively. The Mechatronics System business segment posted incoming orders,
net sales and operating income of (Y) 13.4 billion, 12.4 billion and 4.7
billion, respectively while the Services, Support and Others business segment
recorded (Y) 5.3 billion, 5.5 billion and 0.6 billion, respectively.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(Qualitative Information Regarding Changes in Consolidated Financial Position)

     With respect to Advantest's financial position for the first fiscal
quarter, total assets increased by (Y) 10.6 billion due to the increase of



accounts receivables by (Y) 12.6 billion to (Y) 341.4 billion while total
liabilities decreased by (Y) 2.1 billion from the same period from the previous
year to (Y) 106.2 billion. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of
accounts payable by (Y) 4.1 billion. Shareholders' equity amounted to (Y) 234.5
billion. As a result, equity-to-assets ratio increased 1.7 percentage points
from last fiscal year end to 68.7%.

(Reference) Projected net income per share for the fiscal year: (Y) 437.45

(Qualitative Information Regarding Projected Results)

     With respect to Advantest's projected results in the second quarter and
beyond, the prospect for semiconductor related capital investments remains
strong throughout the interim. As a result, Advantest anticipates increase in
sales and profits against the interim earning forecast released on April 26,
2004. Accordingly, consolidated and unconsolidated earning forecasts have been
revised as shown in the attachment, "Revision of Earnings Forecast for the
Fiscal Year Ending March 2005."

     While the net sales forecast for the fiscal year remains unchanged, the
earnings forecast for the fiscal year is revised as aforementioned due to the
prospect of the profit ratio improving beyond the initial forecast. As a result,
initial income before income taxes and net income forecasts for the fiscal year
have been revised as shown in the attachment, "Revision of Earnings Forecast for
the Fiscal Year Ending March 2005."



(Note) Figures presented in the Quarterly Financial Results have been rounded to
the nearest million yen.
