5. Reasons for the revision of projected operating results
In addition to debris removal works, following earlier delays the restoration and recovery efforts implemented in thewake of the Great East Japan Earthquake have moved gradually toward the start of infrastructure reconstruction
projects. In areas not affected by the disaster, construction demand remained steadier than was initially forecast,despite a gradual downward trend from the second quarter. As a result of these factors, projected interim operating
results for the Kanamoto Group are expected to significantly exceed the Company’s previously announced interimperiod operating performance forecast.
Moreover, because the pace of earthquake restoration and recovery works was stepped up gradually during thesecond half of the Company’s fiscal year, and the number of works to retrofit existing buildings with anti-seismic
measures also increased in Tokyo metropolitan area, construction equipment rental demand in the Tohoku andKanto regions is projected to remain vigorous in the future as well.
Nevertheless, in regions other than the areas devastated by the earthquake, the negative trend in overall official
demand is gradually being actualized, despite a recovery in private sector demand noted in some regions, and theCompany has revised its full-year operating results projection while taking these aspects into consideration.
In other matters, the share transfer related to the acquisition of Unite Co., Ltd. and conversion of that company into
a subsidiary as announced on April 27 is scheduled to be completed at the end of June. Because Kanamoto is now
seriously investigating the effect on its operating performance, the results of the acquisition have not been
incorporated into the full-year operating results projection announced at this time.
6. Dividends and expected date for release of Interim Financial Report
For its interim dividend, the Company plans to discuss at the Board of Directors implementing a dividend of 10 yen
per share in accordance with its initial plan. Moreover, the Company plans to release its Six-Month Financial ReportNotification Concerning Revision of Projected Operating
