Reasons for differences
Yen was depreciated beyond our U.S. dollar exchange rates assumptions in terms of the rates at the end of the fiscal year, and assets in foreign currencies evaluated by the exchange rates at the end of the fiscal year generated valuation profit. Therefore, ordinary income and net income became larger than we had assumed.
