Tokai revised its full year sales forecast from Yen 260 billion to Yen 250 billion yen. Operating income has been revised downwards to Yen 15 billion from Yen 18 billion.

Tokai attributed the results to the difficulties caused by the 11 March earthquake in Japan, as well as power shortages and the appreciation of the yen.
