(*1) We prepare consolidated financial statements for every quarter from the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, so our three months financial results before the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 are unaudited. The financial statements for the fourth quarter was not audited, but was prepared from the difference between the audited full year financial statements and the consolidated (cumulative) financial information for the third quarter. We prepare the unaudited consolidated financial information on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements.
(*2) Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure that excludes non-cash amortization of goodwill related to our acquisitions (and negative goodwill in the case of acquisitions occurring before April 1, 2010), which is required under Japanese GAAP. We provide this information to investors for the purpose of comparing our net income with that of companies that do not amortize goodwill or negative goodwill associated with acquisitions in their financial results, including those reporting in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(*3) Adjusted to reflect the 1:100 stock splits that occurred on July 21, 2011.
