MUFG forecasts decreases in consolidated ordinary profits and net income compared to those previously announced respectively on February 6, 2009. These decreases were mainly due to an increase in net losses on equity securities caused by further decline in market share prices, and a recording of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as a result of re-assessing collectability of its deferred tax assets.
