The Company revised its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 as stated above mainly due to a delay in the development of new titles for content for social networks, including titles for overseas markets, in our Digital Entertainment segment and a postponement of the release of our main title in our Pachinko & Pachinko Slot Machines segment until the next fiscal year.
