After 2Q, we revised downward our forecast for operating profit for the full fiscal year to 73 billion yen. When 3Q ended, we continued operations on the assumption that this forecast of 73 billion yen could be left unchanged. In the event, operating profit was 60.1 billion yen, a difference of 12.9 billion yen.The breakdown of the differences by segment shows a difference of 10.8 billion yen in the operating profit posted by Business Technologies Business and 3 billion yen in the figure posted by Industrial Business centering on TAC. TAC was adversely affected by inventory reduction in the flat-panel market. The 10.8 billion yen difference in Business Technologies Business is a result of a downturn in 3Q totaling 3 billion yen, a forex impact of 2.4 billion yen and an additional appropriation of 2.5 billion yen as a restructuring expense. An expected recovery in revenue in 4Q did not materialize, impacting operating profit by 2.9 billion yen.Key factor in Japan was our non-hardware business, which is a major driver of revenue for Business Technologies Business. Conditions were extremely difficult for this business in 4Q, and this was a major factor behind the downturn in Business Technologies Business in 3Q and 4Q.
