Also, the Bank expects Ordinary profit and Net income to be higher than the previous forecasts due mainly to better-than-expected reduction in expenses and in total credit cost.

   (b) Fiscal year ending March 31, 2011

Earnings forecast for the full year has been revised according to the factors mentioned above.

 (2) Consolidated basis
