2.Reason for the revision

We have revised our earnings forecasts considering the fact that our subsidiary banks are expected to see higher than initial forecast interest income due to increases in loans interest and securities interest, as well as the recognition of other ordinary income resulted from gain on bargain purchase relating to the Hokkaido Leasing Co., Ltd., which became our equity method affiliate.
