Notice of Revisions to Operating Forecasts and Projected Year-end
Dividends
INTER ACTION Corporation is revising its forecasts for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 (June 1, 2006 - May 31, 2007) and year-end dividend forecasts due to recent trends in operating results. These forecasts replace the figures that were announced on April 13, 2007 when the Company released the foregoing fiscal year results.

(2) Reasons for revisions
INTER ACTION expects to report sales that are about the same as in its previous forecasts. The revised consolidated sales forecast is 97.7% of the previous forecast and the revised non-consolidated sales forecast is 105.7% of the previous forecast.
However, the revised ordinary income forecasts are lower. In the previous forecast, INTER ACTION was expecting consolidated ordinary income of 20 million yen and non-consolidated ordinary income of 40 million yen.
The main reasons are as follows.
The main reason for the lower consolidated ordinary income forecast is a higher-than-expected cost of sales ratio, which was caused by a shift in the product mix.
Regarding non-consolidated ordinary income, non-consolidated sales of 1,853 million yen include internal sales of 149 million yen to a subsidiary engaged in security systems business. The low profit margin on these internal sales caused the non-consolidated cost of sales ratio to be higher than originally expected.
Due to these factors, INTER ACTION expects that consolidated net income will be 13 million yen below the previous forecast and that non-consolidated net income will be 33 million yen less.

was prepared. Since these forecasts incorporate risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ from these forecasts for a number of reasons.
