Starting from this fiscal year, we have changed our accounting method. Previously, a royalty and technical assistance fee were included in "Other income," and the cost of the royalty and technical assistance fee was calculated in "Other expenses." However, these are currently included in "Net sales" and "Cost of sales," respectively. With this change, for the three months ended December 31, 2006, net sales are up 3.6 billion yen and operating income is up 2.5 billion yen. For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, net sales are up 11.8 billion yen and operating income is up 8.5 billion yen, compared to the previous classification. However, this change has no impact on net income.
