2. Reason for the revision
In the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2003, we had stronger than expected spot and time sales. Our efforts at cost reduction, particularly by controlling programming cost, led to the positive revision. As for the consolidated financial results forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we are in the midst of calculations and will make an announcement as the need arises.
