２．Reason for the Revision（With regards to full-year and interim consolidated earnings forecasts for the year ending December 31, 2006）
In light of the information statement released by The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants onMarch 15, 2006 entitled “Cautionary Notes on Audits in Consumer Credit Companies”, consolidated subsidiary
Orient Credit Co., Ltd. has from this period established an Allowance for Loss on Interest Reimbursement, and thisallowance will be 900 million yen (410 million of which was posted as extraordinary losses). Moreover, based on
industry trends, a further 430 million yen will be added to the initially planned “interest reimbursement”, and so
now this figure is forecast to come in at around 1,330 million yen (260 million yen of which will be posted asextraordinary losses).
Meanwhile, as the Internet Use Support Business and Interest Advertising Support Business are performing well,
profitability is expected to increase and full-year profits are expected to exceed 550 million yen.
In addition, the Company will also post an extraordinary profit of 420 million dollars on the sale of investment
securities.
（With regards to full-year and interim non-consolidated earnings forecasts for the year ending December 31, 2006）
In non-consolidated results as well, the Internet Use Support Business is performing well and seeing increases inprofitability, which has led sales to be upwardly revised by 200 million yen and ordinary profit by 100 million yen.
Current net profit has also been upwardly revised by 290 million yen, thanks to the posting of a 420 million yen
gain on the sale of investment securities.
