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.

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: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FY 2006 Interim FY 2005 (As of September 30, 2006) (As of March 31, 2006) Increase (decrease) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domestic 23 23 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overseas 17 17 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consolidated subsidiaries 40 40 0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity method affiliates - - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 40 40 0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -16- (Note 2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices There was no change in accounting policies and practices. (Note 3) Investment Securities Investment securities at September 30, 2005, September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 consist of marketable and non-marketable equity securities. Advantest classifies its marketable equity securities as available-for-sale. The acquisition cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value at September 30, 2005, September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 were as follows: Million Yen ----------- September 30, 2005 ------------------ Gross Gross ----- ----- Acquisition unrealized unrealized ----------- ---------- ---------- cost Gains Losses Fair value ---- ----- ------ ---------- Noncurrent: Available-for-sale: Equity securities 1,784 2,560 - 4,344 Million Yen ----------- September 30, 2006 ------------------ Gross Gross ----- ----- Acquisition unrealized unrealized ----------- ---------- ---------- cost Gains Losses Fair value ---- ----- ------ ---------- Noncurrent: Available-for-sale: Equity securities 4,315 3,885 5 8,195 Million Yen ----------- March 31, 2006 -------------- Gross Gross ----- ----- Acquisition unrealized unrealized ----------- ---------- ---------- cost Gains Losses Fair value ---- ----- ------ ---------- Noncurrent: Available-for-sale: Equity securities 4,424 4,559 8 8,975 Gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sales equity securities for the six months ended September 30, 2005, September 30, 2006 and for the year ended March 31, 2006 were as follows: Million Yen ----------- September 30, 2005 September 30, 2006 March 31, 2006 ------------------ ------------------ -------------- Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- realized realized realized realized realized realized -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Gains Losses Gains Losses Gains Losses ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ Noncurrent: Available-for-sale: Equity securities 934 - - - 1,040 - Gross realized gains and losses based on the averaged cost method are included in "other income (expense)" in the interim consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of income and "other" in net cash provided by operating activities in the interim consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statements of cash flows. -17- 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: FY2005 Interim FY2006 Interim FY2005 ---------------------- ---------------- ---------------------- Numerator: Net income (Millon yen) 14,614 22,204 41,374 ---------------------- ---------------- ---------------------- Denominator Basic weighted average shares 184,916,458 186,911,714 185,389,026 Dilutive effect of exercise of stock option and warrants 641,512 1,215,246 994,054 ---------------------- ---------------- ---------------------- Diluted weighted average shares 185,557,970 188,126,960 186,383,080 ---------------------- ---------------- ---------------------- At September 30, 2005, September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, stock 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. -18- Advantest Corporation - Consolidated (FY2006 Interim) (Segment Information) 1.

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. 2.
