(2) Reasons
On a consolidated basis, although net sales slightly fell below our forecasts, operating income came in above our forecasts owing to a decline in unrealized profits on year-end inventories and our efforts to curtail selling, general, and administrative expenses; ordinary income increased, owing to an improvement in foreign exchange loss as the yen grew weaker than our assumptions at the fiscal year end; and net income rose as well, primarily owing to a decline in income tax expenses as a result of the partial reversal of deferred tax liabilities following the taxation revision which exempts dividends received from overseas subsidiaries from taxes.

(2) Reasons
Our basic policy on profit distribution is to share the fruits of our operations with due regard being given to the constant payment of a stable dividend, while taking into account our consolidated performance and payout ratio. In line with this policy, Sysmex Corporation has decided to refer a plan to provide a year-end dividend of 26 yen. Accordingly, annual total dividends will be 50 yen per share and the payout ratio will be 31.9% on a consolidated basis, marking a 2 yen increase from the 48 yen annual dividend (including a commemorative dividend of 8 yen) for the year ended March 2008.
