2. Main reasons for the revisions
  In compliance with the Accounting Treatment for Calculation of Reserves Relating to Losses at Consumer Finance Companies, etc., Resulting from Interest Repayment Claims published by the sector committee of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA) as of October 13, 2006, we expect to post extraordinary losses of ¥284.6 billion attributable to reserves relating to losses resulting from interest repayment claims. As a result, we revised our forecasts for the consolidated interim results for the fiscal year under review to operating revenues of ¥170.6 billion, declining 3.6% from the previous consolidated interim results, operating income of ¥67.1 billion yen, an increase of 13.3%, and a net loss of ¥144.2 billion.
  In addition, for the same reasons described above, we revised our forecast consolidated full-year results for the fiscal year under review to operating revenues of ¥334.6 billion, down 4.7% from the previous consolidated results, operating income of ¥125.9 billion, up 36.5% on a year-on-year basis, and a net loss of ¥109.5 billion.

3. Dividends for the fiscal year ending March 2007
  The interim dividend is expected to be ¥115 per share and the year-end dividend is also expected to be ¥115 per share, for a full-year dividend payment of ¥230.
Final business results may differ from the forecasts above as a result of future events. These forecasts have been produced based on the information available as of the date of this announcement.
