2. Reasons for revision of business forecast
As the revenues from the factoring service, which is to purchase of the accounts receivables from the suppliers
of our business partners, is steadily on the rise. Recurring profit is expected to reach 1,717 million yen, which is 16 million yen or 0.9% more than the previously estimated number, thanks to effective control over interest costs as well as operational costs. Net profit for the period is expected to be 836 million yen, a revision of -14.9% from previous forecast, due to unrealized loss of investment securities, amounting to 300 million yen.
