Reasons for the adjustment to the forecasts of business results:
Consolidated
Net sales are expected to remain almost as projected in the previous forecast. With
regard to incomes, operating income is expected to exceed the previous forecast principally due to improved results in its processed foods business division and relatively stable prices of fresh meats since the second half of the fiscal year under review. Income from consolidated continuing operations before income taxes and net income attributable to the shareholders of the Company (see Note below) are also expected to exceed the previous forecast principally due to an exchange gain related to foreign-currency loans.
Non-Consolidated
The same reasons for the adjustment to the forecast of consolidated business results are
applicable to that of non-consolidated business results. In addition, adjustment has been made to the forecast of net income as the allowance for doubtful receivables in respect of loans receivable from affiliated companies is expected to fall below the previous forecast. *
The above forecasts were calculated based on the currently available information. The actual results may change materially depending on various factors in the future.
(Note)
As a result of the application of Codification of Accounting Standards of the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic 810 "Consolidation" (former FASB Statement No. 160 "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--An Amendment of ARB No. 51"), "net income" has been restated as "net income attributable to Nippon Meat Packers,Inc. " as from the fiscal year under review. "Net income attributable to Nippon Meat Packers,Inc. " is identical with "net income" for or prior to the year ended March 31, 2009.
