(2) Main reasons of operating results forecasts revisionsAs for operating revenues, interest income on direct cash loans are expected to decreasealong with the decrease in direct cash loans to customers and lowering of interest rate.Operating expenses are expected to increase significantly due to factors including a largeamount increase of allowance for losses for refund of interest received from customers andearly write-off of non-performing loans. These measures were conducted prior to Medium-Term Business Plan, with an objective of stably securing profit after full enforcement ofMoney Lending Business Law, considering the severe business environment where refundclaims are at high level.In a severe business environment, we will further advance management efficiency byreadjusting organization and system, as well as addressing improvement of financialstructure, in order to bolster revenue base.
2. Revisions to the fourth quarter dividends forecasts(1) Revisions to the fourth quarter dividends forecasts
(2) Main reasons of dividends forecasts revisionsWe will revise the fourth quarter dividends forecast from 30 yen as previously announced to20 yen because the full year operating results are expected to significantly decrease asdescribed in section 1.We give the first priority to return of profit to shareholders and consider that shareholders’return through continuing long-term stable profit distribution as the principle. Therefore, wework to maintain capital policy focusing on profit distribution even though the businessenvironment is severe.
3. Reduction of directors’ compensationWe take the revisions of operating results forecasts and dividends forecasts and will reducethe full-time directors’ and executive officers’ monthly compensation by 10 to 30 % for thetime being from March 2009, in order to clarify management responsibility.We also would like to announce that, considering recent various factors, full-time corporateauditors offered partial reduction of their compensation as voluntary return.
NoteThe above forecasts and figures in the statements are based on beliefs in light of informationcurrently available as of the date of this announcement. Final business results may differfrom the forecasts above as a result of various factors and future events.
