(Notes)
1.   The percentages shown in the above items including net sales and operating
     income are changes in comparison to the corresponding period of the
     previous fiscal year.
2.   On October 1, 2006, a one to two stock split was made to shares of the
     common stock in respect of shareholders recorded in the register as of
     September 30, 2006. Basic net income per share and diluted net income per
     share for this third quarter were calculated based on the number of issued
     and outstanding shares after such stock split. Accordingly, per share
     information for the third quarter ended March 31, 2006 and for the fiscal
     year ended March 31, 2006 have been recalculated for adjustment.



(Qualitative Information Regarding Consolidated Financial Results)

     During this third quarter (a period of nine months from April 1, 2006 to
December 31, 2006), although there were inventory adjustment of LCD panels and
reduction of capital expenditures by some semiconductor manufactures,
Advantest's operating environment remained steady, as supported by capital
expenditures for personal computers and digital consumer devices. During the
first half of this fiscal period, capital expenditures for digital consumer
devices such as flat-panel TVs and game players were favorable, and capital
expenditures increased for DRAM semiconductors used in personal computers for a
new operating system during the latter half of this fiscal period.

     Under this environment, Advantest made concentrated effort to increase
order input received and expand sales with a focus of providing overall test
solutions with the best products and services that meet various customers'
demands. In addition, Advantest continued to make efforts to improve the quality
of products and to reduce costs by promoting further the just-in-time production
system in its manufacturing process. As a result of the above, in the third
quarter, orders input received was (Y) 173.1 billion (12.2% decrease in
comparison to the corresponding third quarter of the previous fiscal year),
sales was (Y) 166.2 billion (0.5% decrease), net income before income taxes was
(Y) 43.3 billion (0.6% increase), and net income was 27.8 billion (7.1%
increase). Overseas sales as a percentage of total sales was 63.9%, as compared
with 68.9% in the corresponding third quarter of the previous fiscal year.

(Results by Business Segment)

     With respect to the semiconductor and component test system segment, in the
memory semiconductor test system market, demand for test systems for DRAM
semiconductors was positive because the price of DRAM semiconductors was stable
and investment in DDR2-DRAM semiconductors used in personal computers for a new
operating system increased rapidly in Korea and Taiwan, among other countries,
from the latter half of this fiscal period. Demand for test systems for flash
memory semiconductors, however, was low due to restrained capital expenditures
resulting from a significant price decline of flash memory semiconductors.



     In the market of non-memory semiconductor test system, sales of the SOC
semiconductor test systems for devices used in consumer digital products was
steady in Japan. However, capital expenditures were low with respect to the test
systems for non-memory semiconductors used in MPU or LCD driver IC. As a result
of the above, orders input received was (Y) 121.5 billion, sales was (Y) 117.3
billion and operating income was (Y) 34.6 billion. In the mechatronics system
segment, due to a strong demand especially for handlers for DRAM semiconductors
and devise interface products, orders input received was (Y) 42.6 billion, sales
was (Y) 37.9 billion and operating income was (Y) 10.0 billion. In the services,
support and others segment, orders input received was (Y) 13.7 billion, sales
was (Y) 13.8 billion and operating income was (Y) 1.7 billion.

(Note) On October 1, 2006, a one to two stock split was made to shares of the
common stock in respect of shareholders recorded in the register as of September
30, 2006. Net assets per share for this third quarter was calculated based on
the number of issued and outstanding shares after such stock split. Accordingly,
net assets per share for the third quarter ended March 31, 2006 and for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 have been recalculated for adjustment.

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


(Qualitative Information Regarding Changes in Consolidated Financial Position)

     At the end of this third quarter, total assets decreased by (Y) 2.5 billion
from the end of the previous fiscal year to (Y) 348.3 billion, mainly due to the
decrease of trade accounts receivable by (Y) 24.2 billion despite the increase
of cash and cash equivalents by (Y) 20.1 billion. Total liabilities decreased by
(Y) 27.8 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year to (Y) 65.1 billion,
mainly due to the decrease of accounts payable by (Y) 6.4 billion and other
current liabilities by (Y) 20.0 billion as a result of the payment of corporate
tax, among other things. Net assets was (Y) 283.2 billion and equity-to-assets
ratio increased by 7.8 percentage points from the end of the previous fiscal
year to 81.3%.

(Cash Flow Statements)

     Cash and cash equivalents at the end of this third quarter increased by (Y)
20.1 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year to (Y) 178.0 billion.
Significant cash flows during this third quarter and their causes are described
below.
     Cash flows from operating activities was an inflow of (Y) 29.3 billion,
which consisted primarily of proceeds from a decrease of trade accounts
receivable ((Y) 24.7 billion) and an expenditure due to a decrease of income
taxes payable ((Y) 14.7 billion), in addition to the net income for this quarter
period of (Y) 27.8 billion.
     Cash flows from investing activities was an outflow of (Y) 6.2 billion,
which consisted primarily of capital expenditures on tangible fixed assets
including lease assets ((Y) 5.7 billion).
     Cash flows from financing activities was an outflow of (Y) 4.8 billion,
which consisted primarily of dividends paid ((Y) 7.3 billion) and proceeds from
sales of treasury shares ((Y) 2.5 billion).

3. Projected Results for FY2006 (April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007)

     With respect to its earnings forecast for the fourth quarter and beyond,
Advantest anticipates that investment in DDR2-DRAM semiconductors used in
personal computers for a new operating system will increase. Advantest also
anticipates that capital expenditures on digital consumer devices including
flat-panel TVs will remain steady. On the other hand, it is Advantest's concern
that capital expenditures of some flash memory semiconductor manufacturers will
remain low, due to a decline in the price of flash memory semiconductors. In
addition, some MPU manufacturers are behind in making recoveries with respect to
their capital expenditures, and capital expenditures for LCD driver IC have not
been fully recovered due to a declined demand resulting from an inventory
adjustment of LCD panels. Accordingly, Advantest projects that it will be
difficult to achieve its previous earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 2007 that was released on October 27, 2006, and therefore hereby
revise the forecast, as below.

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)1,299 million, (Y)1,506 million and (Y)1,884 million in this third quarter of FY2005
     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 consolidated statements of income. Such exclusion was made
     since such items are not included in the performance review of each business segment by management.
