Discontinuation of made-to-order production at the customer's request and inventory loss

「These losses arose when the production of certain products ordered by our group was discontinued for reasons attributable to the customer. In addition, during the interim consolidated accounting period, the existence, amount and timing of any compensation from the customer had not been determined. Accordingly, the company recorded a special loss for the portion that could be reasonably estimated of the losses relating to inventories no longer expected to be recoverable through sale or use, as well as compensation payments to suppliers.」
