Our policy for returning profits to shareholders is to
accumulate internal reserves for strengthening our corporate
structure and for future business development, and at the
same time, to strive to earn a profit annually and flexibly
pay dividends in accordance with business performance. Based
on that policy, we are targeting a 20% dividend payout ratio
on consolidated net income for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2012. The approval in the board meeting scheduled for May
2012 after the submission of auditors' reports is a
prerequisite condition for the cash dividend indicated
above.
