2. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed the provisional accounting treatment for business combination. As a result, figures for the year ended March 31,

2020 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price.

As a result, the amounts of net sales, operating profit and profit before income taxes no longer include discontinued operations, presenting only the amounts for continuing operations.
