6.Reasons for the Revisions
(1)Revisions of the Projections for the Results for the Six-Month Period of
the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2005
Net Sales are lower than that of the previous projections, mainly due to the
delays in the openings of new stores and slump of the existing stores caused
by the increasing competitions, which affected the Supermarket Division.
Recurring Income is higher than that of the previous projections, mainly due
to the exchange gains. Net Profit is higher than that of the previous
projections due to gain on sales of investment securities at extraordinary
gains.
Net Sales are in general as expected. Although Operating Income decreased
under the influence of drop in prices etc. Recurring Income exceeds the
previous projection due to exchange gain etc. Net Profit is higher than that
of the previous projections due to gain on sales of investment securities at
extraordinary gains.
(2)Revisions of the Projections for the Consolidated Results for the Fiscal
Year Ending March 31, 2005.
Net Sales in the second half are expected to be in the same trend as the
first half, and Net Sales will decrease from the previous projections.
Recurring Income and Net Income will be higher than those of the previous
projections mainly due to the effect of interim results.
Net Sales in the second half are expected to be in the same trend as the
first half and Net Sales will be higher than that of the previous projections.
On the other hand, we do not change the projections for the Recurring Income,
because there are some indefinite factors such as exchange fluctuations for
the second half of the fiscal year. Net Income is expected to exceed the
previous projection due to gain on sales of investment securities.
(3)Revisions of the Projections for Dividends
Our policy provides that 50% of the non-consolidated net income be distributed
to the shareholders as dividends, and the revisions of the projected business
results have accordingly resulted in the revisions of the projections for
dividends.
* The above projections are based on the information available to the management
as of the date of this report. The actual results may be different from these
forecasts due to various factors occurring hereafter.
