2. Reasons for Revision
Due to the partial sale of SB Sweden AB shares, loss on sales of investment securities of approximately 12,700 million yen will be recognized as special loss for the Interim Period. The main purpose of such sale is to gather all overseas capital to SOFTBANK Holdings Inc. (“SBH”) of the United States, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and to make SBH supervise the whole overseas fund operations. The above-mentioned sale does not result in loss on sales of investment securities on a consolidated basis since such transaction will be carried out among our consolidated companies.
3. Non-consolidated results forecast for the fiscal year 2002
Due to the above-mentioned sale of SB Sweden AB shares, net income for the fiscal year 2002 is expected to decrease. However, as such decrease resulting from SB Sweden AB share sale is a one-time event, we plan to pay dividend for the fiscal year 2002.
