According to our earnings forecast for FY2016, revenue is to increase by 3% YoY to 1,060 billion yen. Our assumptions for exchange rates in FY2016 are 105 yen for US dollar and 120 yen for Euro, generating a forex loss of about 19 billion yen as compared with FY2015. However, we are announcing that we expect operating profit to increase by 5.9 billion yen or 10% YoY to 66 billion yen.The forecast for profit is 44 billion yen, a 12 billion yen or 38% increase as compared with FY2015. As for dividends, it was decided to pay the annual amount of 30 yen, which means that the year-end dividend for FY2015 will be 15 yen as was stated in the previous announcement. Based on the forecast profit of 44 billion yen, we expect to continue to pay annual dividends of 30 yen per share. Nevertheless, we will make every effort to exceed this income forecast of 44 billion yen in FY2016, and if this effort translates into numbers we may tentatively increase dividends from 30 yen, even if it is only 2.5 yen more. We shall also give consideration and careful thought to the possibility of flexible acquisition of our treasury stock in units of 5 billion yen.
