| 3. Reasons for Revision |
|
--In view of the
continuing deterioration in the already severe business environment
of all the Mitsubishi Rayon group’s business operations,
due to a decline in demand on a global scale, we now expect
both operating income and ordinary income on a consolidated
basis to fall slightly below the levels forecast in November.
--In addition,
owing to the posting of losses on the sale
of shares of equity-method affiliates overseas,
whose business performance has been stagnating,
as well as extraordinary losses including
losses stemming from the group’s withdrawal
from the spinning business in Japan, net
losses are expected on a consolidated basis.
--It remains
our intention to pay a term-end dividend
of 3 Yen per share for a total annual dividend
of 6 Yen. |
