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. - 2 - (2)Changes in Consolidated Financial Position - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net assets Total assets Net assets Equity-to-assets ratio per share - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Million yen Million yen % Yen - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FY2006 Q3 348,293 283,224 81.3 1,512.13 FY2005 Q3 323,901 238,324 73.6 1,282.07 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (For reference) FY2005 350,776 257,927 73.5 1,381.85 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (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.

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.
