2. Explanation of revisions

The upward revision of forecast ordinary income is due primarily to an expected increase in gains on separate account in Tokio Marine & Nichido Financial Life Insurance Co., Ltd. owing to the domestic stock market recovery. The forecast increase, however, will not affect either ordinary profit or net income since an equivalent amount is accounted for as a provision for underwriting reserves.
The upward revision of forecast ordinary profit and of net income is mainly due to expected decreases of provisions for outstanding claims in Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd. as a result of the appreciation of the Japanese yen against US Dollars and lower-than-expected catastrophe losses** incurred through September 2009.
**Note: Losses from Typhoon No. 18 incurred in October 2009 will not be included in the Company's business results for the six months ended September 30, 2009.

The Company’s business forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 are scheduled to be announced on November 19, 2009, along with its business results for the six months ended September 30, 2009.
