Reason for the Amendment
Due to the prolonged non-operation period of Chiba-refinery, alternative supply cost and catastrophe losses have increased. Thereby, decrease of operating income and net income is expected in the petroleum business segment.
With reference to Chiba-refinery, the #2 Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) has already resumed operations and the #1 CDU is under preparations for start-up. When the #1 CDU start-up is made, the refinery will return to its original 2 CDU operation.
Forecasts for FY2012 is expected to be announced at the time of the announcement of financial results for FY2011 which are scheduled on 8 May.
