Notes:

| 1. |
NEC Electronics Corporation was established on November 1, 2002 through
a corporate separation of certain operations of NEC Corporation. The above
figures of consolidated financial results for the fiscal year 2002 (April
1, 2002 to March 31, 2003) are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP SFAS
87. |
| |
|
| 2. |
The non-consolidated results are solely for the five-month period between
the November 1 establishment of NEC Electronics Corporation and the March
31, 2003 fiscal year-end. |
| |
|
| 3. |
The consolidated net income per share for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2003 has been calculated assuming that the 100,000,000 shares issued
upon the establishment of the company were outstanding at the beginning
of the fiscal year. The non-consolidated net income per share for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2003 has been calculated based on the average number
of outstanding shares during the five-month period between November 1, 2002
and March 31, 2003. |
| |
|
| 4. |
The consolidated and non-consolidated target net income per share for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004 are based on the 123,500,000 shares
that will have been issued by the end of the same fiscal year including
the newly offered shares. |
