| • | Description of Extraordinary Losses |
The Company expects to book extraordinary losses of ¥78 million for a loss on disposal of fixed assets, where changes in the system environment and business conditions have made continuing use and development of a portion of the software booked in the software suspense account difficult, and of ¥67 million for various expenses related to the tender offer by NTT DOCOMO, INC.
| • | Reason for Revision |
The downward revision of net sales reflects the impact of a slowdown in sales of subscription deliveries of fresh vegetable assortments resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent problems with radiation, etc. arising from the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. As a result, net sales is expected to decrease by ¥656 million to ¥22,046 million.
The upward revisions for operating income and ordinary income reflect a reduction in aggressive sales measures in the first half of the year due to the impact of the earthquake, which enabled the Company to reduce sales and general administrative expenses, particularly its sales expense. This is expected to result in a ¥33 million increase in operating income, to ¥299 million, and a ¥13 million increase in ordinary income, to ¥319 million.
In addition, as noted above, extraordinary losses will be booked resulting from a loss on disposal of fixed assets, and the forecast for net income has been lowered by ¥97 million from the previous forecast, to negative ¥95 million.
(Note): The above earnings forecast is based on information obtainable as of the date of this announcement, and actual results going forward may vary from the figures forecast due to a variety of factors.
