Notice for modifying partly Brief note on the settlement of accounts ending in March 2011 (consolidated, Japanese standard)" due to the occurrence of subsequent events (Modified)"
Due to the occurrence of subsequent events, we hereby modify "Brief note 
on the settlement of accounts ending in March 2011 (consolidated, Japanese 
standard)" announced on May 20th, 2011 as follows.
As to the projections for fiscal year 2011, operating revenues, ordinary 
income and net income are left as "to be determined", because it is 
difficult to estimate the future supply and demand due to the affects by 
the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake.

1. Nuclear damage compensation concerning the accidents at Fukushima 
   Daiichi Nuclear Power Station

The Company is liable for the nuclear damage concerning the accidents at 
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station damaged by the Tohoku-Chihou-
Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake based on the nuclear damage compensation scheme 
of Japan, when the requirements of the Nuclear Damage Compensation Law 
(effective on June 17, 1961: Law No.147) are satisfied. The amount of 
possible compensation is not recorded in the financial statements with 
respects to the year ended March 31,2011, because it is not possible to 
make a reasonable estimate on the amount of compensation at March 31, 
2011, which may be determined based on the guidance to be defined in 
future by the Committee for Adjustment of Compensation for Nuclear Damage 
Disputes (the "Committee").
In the meantime, the method to calculate the amount of damage for the 
mental pains of evacuees and those afflicted was concretely determined 
in "the Second Guidance Supplement concerning Judgment on the Scope of 
Nuclear Damage due to the Accidents at Fukushima Daiichi and Daini Nuclear 
Power Stations of Tokyo Electric Power Co., Ltd." decided by the Committee 
on June 20, 2011. 
According to the method, the amount of such damage for the mental pains of 
evacuees and those afflicted until the completion of expected restoration 
from the accident is currently estimated to reach 88 billion yen. 
In order to implement such compensation, the "Nuclear Disaster Compensation 
Bill" (approved by the Cabinet on June 14, 2011) is currently being 
submitted to the Diet.

2. Roadmap towards Restoration from the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi 
   Nuclear Power Station

The Group provides the reserve for loss on disaster for restoration of 
assets damaged by the Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake with the 
estimated amount as of March 31, 2011. The Group reflected progress made 
related to specific countermeasures involved in Step 1 (Radiation dose is 
in steady decline) and Step 2 (Release of radioactive materials is under 
control and radiation dose is being significantly held down) as targets 
listed in the Current Status of Roadmap in "Roadmap towards Restoration 
from the Accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station", announced 
through our HP on June 17, and consequently, added another issue "Radiation 
control, Medical care" to 5 areas ("Cooling", "Mitigation", 
"Decontamination/Monitoring", "Countermeasures against aftershocks etc.", 
"environment improvement") and 8 issues ("Reactors", "Spent fuel pools", 
"Accumulated water", "Groundwater", "Atmosphere Soil", "Measurement, 
Reduction, Announcement", "Tsunami, Reinforcement, etc.", "Life/work 
environment") set in the previous roadmap published on May 17, 2011. Thus, 
the roadmap has been rearranged to 5 areas and 9 issues and changed the 
number of countermeasures from 76 to 81.
As a result of having reviewed the estimates on expenses and/or losses for 
securing safety through cooling of reactors and avoiding further radiation 
proliferation, with a change in status, reserve for loss on disaster (831.7 
billion yen in total) is expected to increase by 38 billion yen.
