and equipment and goodwill, deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions; future changes or revisions to accounting policies or
accounting rules; natural disasters including earthquakes, prevalence of infectious diseases throughout the world and other events

In order to be consistent with generally accepted financial reporting practices in Japan, operating profit (loss) is presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Japan. The company believes that this is useful to investors in
comparing the company's financial results with those of other Japanese companies. Under United States generally accepted
accounting principles, expenses associated with the implementation of early retirement programs at certain domestic and overseas
companies, and impairment losses on long-lived assets are usually included as part of operating profit (loss) in the statement of
income.
