A Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this annual report with respect to Omron’s plans, strategies and beliefs, as well as other statements that are not
historical facts, are forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from such statements include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions in Omron’s markets,
which are primarily Japan, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and China; demand for, and competitive pricing pressure on,
Omron’s products and services in the marketplace; Omron’s ability to continue to win acceptance for its products and services
in these highly competitive markets; and movements of currency exchange rates.
In May 2003, Omron Corporation marked its 70th year of operations. Since its
establishment, Omron has been quick to grasp social needs and turn them into
businesses. Today, Omron conducts a wide range of businesses that aim to
provide innovative solutions for industry, society and daily life.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, Omron moved ahead with its
Structural Reforms for Group Productivity to build a solid earnings infrastructure,
toward the realization of Grand Design 2010 (GD2010), Omron’s long-term Group
management vision established in May 2001. During the year to March 2004, to
further strengthen its operations, the Company will complete the Structural
Reforms for Group Productivity and enter its next stage of growth, shifting from
reform to creation.
In the future, Omron will continue to transform itself and contribute to the
development of society as a global corporation centered on the core strength of
its expertise in sensing and control technology.
