| 2. | Reason for the difference occurring |
Income before income taxes decreased due mainly to the expanded impact from the broadened uptake of the “Monthly Support” discount program and the negative impact caused by the “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” new billing plan in the initial phase following its launch in June 2014, in addition to a rise in expenses such as cost of equipment sold and other factors.
