Reason for the revision

The Company recorded an ordinary loss of ¥340 million and a quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent of ¥768 million in the third quarter. In addition, suspected improper accounting practices were identified at the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary in connection with certain advertising transactions in prior fiscal years and the capitalization of software costs, among other matters, and prior-period financial results were restated following an investigation by a special investigation committee. Part of the investigation costs and the costs required to restate prior-period financial results have been recorded as extraordinary losses, and these are also expected to be recorded for the full year.
