Reasons for correction
In the domestic personal computer market, products for individuals showed a buoyancy as the eagerness to buy was enhanced due to the sale of "Windows 98" and "iMac" in the last summer; also the prices were reasonable, multi-function and diversified thin light-weight note-type personal computers and space-saving desk-top computers were released. Those for corporate continued to be sluggish as a whole, but as a result of the decision on the infusion of official money to the banks, the reluctance to lend tended to lessen and the mind to investment in the information industry was improved.

Under such circumstances, we endeavored to increase the sales and was able to realize an unexpectedly remarkable expansion of the sales for March period at the end of the term although there was no big business. As the prices of products did not drop because of tight products atmosphere, the rough profit rate was improved, and we tried to reduce the expenditures with a sense of crisis about the operating loss in the first term and consequently were able to greatly restore the profits in the second term.

As mentioned above, both the current account and current income will be better than previously anticipated.
