3.Principal reason for the revisions
The principal reason for the revisions is the recognition of net losses on numerous natural disasters such as typhoons in the amount of 79.8 billion yen. Claims paid and loss reserves established were significantly greater than initially expected.

 4.(Reference) Forecast of business results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005

The negative impact of the natural disasters on the business results will be mitigated for the year ending March 31, 2005 as the Company's catastrophe reserve will be utilized by the end of the fiscal year with respect to the claims paid on these natural disasters. In addition, as we expect that interest and dividend income as well as investment income derived from sales of securities will improve, we expect that the business results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 will not deviate significantly from our original forecasts. For your reference, following are the previously announced forecasts of business results for the year ending March 31, 2005.
