1. Management Policy

Advantest's Basic Management Policy
- -----------------------------------
          Advantest believes that its philosophy of management is to support
leading-edge technology at its forefront. Its basic management policy consists
of the following elements: increasing corporate value, improving shareholder and
customer satisfaction and achieving excellence.

Business Strategy
- -----------------
          While maintaining "Measurements" as our core competence, Advantest
intends to improve its corporate value by establishing an operation and finance
structure that responds timely to changes in the global market, and also aims to
further increase market share by introducing fine products that will inspire the
market demands of the next generation. To achieve these objectives, Advantest is
driven to further strengthen its product development operations and improve
production efficiency by selectively focusing on certain businesses, while
strengthening its overseas operations and support system in the U.S., Europe and
Asia.

          Further, Advantest seeks to increase the level of customer
satisfaction by maximizing the functions of our test systems by providing them
with a solution for businesses to improve business efficiency.

          With respect to a company-wide initiative called "Activate 21" which
Advantest launched on October 1, 2005, Advantest has implemented further reforms
that emphasize cost and efficiency from a global perspective with the target of
fiscal year 2008 for completion.

Target Financial Index
- ----------------------
          Advantest applies the "AVA" (Advantest Value Added), a financial index
incorporating the concept of EVA(R)(Economic Value Added) *(1), as a significant
performance indicator, along with profit margin, ROE and cash flows, to measure
its business performance. Specifically, Advantest will continue to set the
minimum return-on-investment ratio ("hurdle rate") for evaluating AVA at 8% and
a mid-term target at 12% or more with an aim to further increase corporate value
and shareholder value.

          *(1)"EVA(R)" is a registered trademark of Stern Stewart & Co.

Basic Policy on Distribution of Profits
- ---------------------------------------
          Advantest believes that shareholder value is premised on the
realization of long-term and continued growth in corporate value.

          With respect to the distribution of profits, Advantest has adopted a
policy of maintaining consistent dividend payouts after taking into
consideration of business performance and financial condition.

         Retained profits will be utilized for research and development,
streamlining efforts, overseas expansion and investing in new businesses to
enable the strengthening of its business position and creation of corporate
value.

Advantest's Views and Policies on Lowering its Investment Unit
- --------------------------------------------------------------
          As part of its capital policy, Advantest has long recognized the
importance of increasing the market liquidity of its shares, promoting long-term
and stable holding of its shares among investors and expanding its investor
base. Accordingly, Advantest already reduced the minimum investment unit from
1,000 shares to 100 shares in August, 1995. Furthermore, consistent with recent
share prices, Advantest aims to further expand the investor base by establishing
an environment that will make Advantest's shares more accessible to a broader
range of potential shareholders by reducing the investment amount for one
(trading) unit. Accordingly, Advantest implemented, on October 1, 2006, a one to
two stock split for its shareholders listed or recorded in the final
shareholders' register and beneficial shareholders' register as of September 30,
2006.

Matters Relating to Parent Companies
- ------------------------------------
          Advantest does not have a parent company as of the end of this fiscal
year.


                                       -3-


2. Business Results and Financial Condition

(1) Business Results
Interim Fiscal Period Results
- -----------------------------
          During this interim fiscal period, Advantest's operating environment
was overall favorable, as stimulated by continuing steady sales of consumer
digital products (such as portable audio players and flat-panel televisions)
from the previous period. Partly due to a trend of inventory adjustment of
liquid crystal panels and a reduction in capital expenditures by some
semiconductor manufacturers, we did not achieve the interim results forecasted
in our previous forecast. However, mainly due to increases in demand for
semiconductors and increases in capital expenditures by semiconductor
manufacturers for new production lines, our sales remained steady.

          Under this environment, Advantest made efforts to increase orders
input received and expand sales by introducing products that meet customers'
demand and providing test solutions that are targeted at its customers.
Advantest also continued to make efforts to improve productivity and cost
reduction.

          Accordingly, as compared to the previous interim fiscal period, orders
input received decreased by 5.2 % to (Y) 115.2 billion, net sales increased by
12.5 % to (Y) 120.5 billion, net income before income taxes increased by 38.6 %
to (Y) 34.0 billion, and net income for the interim fiscal period increased by
51.9 % to (Y) 22.2 billion. Overseas sales as a percentage of total sales were
60.0 %, as compared with 67.7 % in the previous interim fiscal period.

[Condition of Business by Segment]
(Semiconductor and Component Test System Segment)

          In this segment, overall sales was positive despite a trend of
inventory adjustment of the liquid crystal panels used for personal computers
and a reduction in capital expenditures by some semiconductor manufacturers.
Such positive sales was primarily due to increased demand for new test systems
resulting from a growth in sales of consumer digital products, among other
things.

          In the memory semiconductor test system market, because the price of
DRAM semiconductors remained stable and manufacturers of DRAM semiconductors
promoted capital expenditure for mass production of DDR2-DRAM semiconductors,
demand for front-end test systems for DRAM semiconductors was overall positive
in Japan, Taiwan and Korea, among other countries. However, the results of
back-end test systems for DRAM semiconductors did not achieve our previous
forecasts. In addition, sales of test systems for flash memory semiconductors
remained steady, due to stable demand for portable audio players and digital
cameras, among other things.

          In the market of non-memory semiconductor test system, sales of SoC
semiconductor test systems for devices used in consumer digital products and
car-related products was primarily favorable in Japan. However, sales of test
systems for non-memory semiconductors used in LCD driver IC was weak in the
latter half of this interim fiscal period as a result of inventory adjustment of
liquid crystal panels in Japan and in Taiwan. Furthermore, demand for the T2000,
a test system compatible with OPENSTAR(R)*(2), which was very favorable in the
previous fiscal year, was low due to slowdown in the demand.

          As a result of the above, orders input received was (Y) 82.0 billion
(12.5 % decrease in comparison to the previous interim fiscal period), sales was
(Y) 86.0 billion (6.4 % increase) and operating income was (Y) 26.5 billion
(26.3 % increase).

(Mechatronics System Segment)

          Sales of memory semiconductor test handlers was favorable, primarily
due to positive sales of test handlers for flash memory semiconductors. Sales of
non-memory semiconductor test handlers remained steady in connection with test
handlers for SoC semiconductors used for consumer digital product devices. Sales
of device interface products was also steady, due to an increase in demand for
flash memory semiconductors and semiconductors for SoC.

          As a result, orders input received was (Y) 25.5 billion (17.6 %
increase in comparison with the previous interim fiscal period), sales was (Y)
26.7 billion (30.1 % increase) and operating income was (Y) 7.6 billion (64.5 %
increase).

                                       -4-


(Services, Support and Others Segment)

          In this segment, orders input received was (Y) 9.4 billion (4.0 %
increase in comparison with the previous interim fiscal period), sales was (Y)
9.7 billion (13.2 % increase) and operating income was (Y) 1.4 billion (27.6 %
decrease).

          *(2)OPENSTAR(R): The name of an open architecture standard published
by the STC (Semiconductor Test Consortium, Inc.). OPENSTAR(R) is a registered
trademark or a trademark of STC in the United States, Japan and other countries.

[Distribution of Profits]

          As described above, sales in this interim fiscal period remained
overall steady. Although there are potential uncertainties affecting its
operating environment, Advantest decided, pursuant to its profit distribution
policy described above, to distribute dividends for this interim fiscal period
of (Y) 35 per share consistent with the previous forecast in respect of shares
prior to the stock split.

(2) Financial Condition

          Cash and cash equivalents held at September 30, 2006 were (Y) 163.6
billion, an increase of (Y) 5.7 billion from March 31, 2006.

          Significant cash flows during this interim fiscal period and their
causes are described below.

          Net cash provided by operating activities was (Y) 12.2 billion. The
main sources of cash were net income of (Y) 22.2 billion, depreciation and
amortization of (Y) 3.8 billion, a decrease in trade accounts receivable of (Y)
2.2 billion and a decrease in inventories of (Y) 2.8 billion, which were
partially offset by a decrease in trade accounts payable of (Y) 9.4 billion and
a decrease in income taxes payable by (Y) 9.2 billion.

          Net cash used in investing activities was an outflow of (Y) 4.5
billion. This amount was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of (Y)
4.1 billion, including capital expenditures related to equipment for leasing.

          Net cash used in financing activities was an outflow of (Y) 2.5
billion. This amount was primarily attributable to dividend payments in the
amount of (Y)4.2 billion offset by proceeds from sale of treasury stock in the
amount of (Y) 1.7 billion.


                                       -5-


(3) Prospects for the Fiscal Year

          With respect to its operating environment in the fiscal year,
Advantest expects a rapid increase in demand for DDR2-DRAM used in personal
computers resulting from, among other things, the planned launch of a new
operating system for personal computers in January 2007. Advantest also expects
to see expanded volume and application of flash memory semiconductors used for
mobile telephones, portable audio players and digital cameras. Furthermore, a
continuous increase in demand is anticipated for semiconductors used for
car-related products and digital consumer products (due to wider acceptance of
flat-panel televisions by consumers). With such increase in demand, Advantest
expects that demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipments will continue to
increase going forward.

          On the other hand, Advantest is concerned that restrained capital
expenditures as a result of poor supply and demand balance, an issue unique to
the semiconductor market, increased prices of raw materials such as oil, risks
relating to exchange rates, and strengthened downward pressure on prices as a
result of the above-mentioned factors may affect our results.

          In order to respond to these conditions, Advantest plans to continue
its efforts to increase orders input received and expand sales through the
timely introduction of new products that meet customers' needs by strengthening
marketing and development structure. To further strengthen its cost
competitiveness, Advantest will make continued efforts to further improve
profitability by reviewing its operational process company wide and improving
manufacturing efficiency.

          As described above, Advantest expects a growth in the scond half of
the fiscal year. However, because sales in respect of the semiconductor and
component test system segment fell below our previous forecasts and we foresee
that it would be difficult to recover such decrease in the second half of the
fiscal year, we revised the business outlook described below.

[Profit Distribution Forecast]

     Based on the prospects for the fiscal year and the profit distribution
policy described above, Advantest expects to distribute an annual dividend of
(Y) 17.5 per share, taking into account the stock split based on the record date
of September 30, 2006. This amount is equivalent to an interim dividend of (Y)
35.0 per share that was referred to in our previous forecast.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Note 1) Accounting Principles, Procedures and the Presentation of the
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(a) Terminology, Form and Method of Preparation of the Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements

          Advantest prepares these interim consolidated financial statements in
accordance with the accounting principles, procedures, terminology, form and
mode of preparation required in the United States of America in connection with
its issuance of American Depository Shares as established under Accounting
Research Bulletins ("ARB"), Accounting Principles Board ("APB") statements,
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") and other relevant sources
(collectively "U.S. GAAP"). However, Advantest Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries prepare their unconsolidated financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the country of their domicile.
Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements to present them in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(b) The Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Registration with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

          Advantest Corporation began listing on the New York Stock Exchange on
September 17, 2001 (local time) by means of an issuance of American Depository
Shares, and is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 20-F (equivalent to the Annual Securities Report in Japan) since FY2001. In
connection with the registration on Form 20-F, Advantest prepares its
consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(c) Scope of Consolidation and Application of the Equity Method

          Advantest's interim consolidated financial statements include
financial statements of Advantest Corporation and its majority-owned
subsidiaries. Advantest does not have any variable interest entities as provided
in the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board's Interpretation No. 46
(Revised December 2003)- "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". Thus,
Advantest does not include any such entity in its consolidated financial
statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

          The following table sets forth the number of consolidated subsidiaries
and equity method affiliates of Advantest:

         Non-marketable investment securities are carried at cost. On a periodic
basis, Advantest evaluates the investments for the possible impairment. If the
fair value of the investment securities is estimated to have declined and such
decline is judged to be other than temporary, Advantest recognizes the
impairment of the investment and the carrying value is reduced to its fair
value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the
security is established.

    (Note 4) Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) per Share.

         Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share was computed as follows:

options and warrants representing, upon exercise, 14,000 shares, 1,582,000
shares and 4,000 shares, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in
the computation for net income per share (diluted) because the foregoing did not
have any dilutive effect.

   (Note 5)  Significant Event after the Balance Sheet Date

         Pursuant to resolution by the Board of Directors dated July 26, 2006,
Advantest has made, on October 1, 2006, a one to two stock split per share of
the common stock applicable to shareholders recorded in the register as of
September 30, 2006.
         Share numbers and per share information contained in the Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements (net assets per share, basic net income per
share for this interim fiscal period and net income per share (diluted) per
share for all fiscal periods presented) reflect such stock split.

(Notes)
1.      Adjustments to operating income (loss) included in Corporate mainly
        consist of research and development expenses for basic research
        activities, which are not allocated to corporate general administrative
        expenses and segment by business sector.

2.      Stock option compensation expense of (Y)755 million, (Y)648 million and
        (Y)1,884 million in FY2005 interim, FY2006 interim and FY 2005,
        respectively are not included in operating income in the business
        segment information. Therefore these operating income do not match with
        the operating income in the interim consolidated statements of income
        and the consolidated statements of income. Such exclusion was made since
        such items are not included in the performance review of each business
        segment by management.
