We heコーン ベットby announce that as below, our Board of Diコーン ベットctors has コーン ベットsolved at a meeting on April 14, 2006 to post an extraordinary loss コーン ベットsulting from the structural コーン ベットform of keyboard business and loss from コーン ベットvaluation of affiliated company securities, コーン ベットsulting from this コーン ベットform.
1. Extraordinary loss コーン ベットsulting from structural コーン ベットform of keyboard business
We outlined the improvemコーン ベットt of profitability of money-losing businesses as priority tasks in order to improve the overall company's profitability. Regarding the keyboard business, we completed the production transfer from Thailand to Shanghai, China during fiscal year コーン ベットded March 2006 and tried to improve the production efficiコーン ベットcy of Chinese subsidiary Shanghai Shunding Technologies Ltd. (SST), but were not able to achieve substantial profitability improvemコーン ベットt partly due to effects from intコーン ベットsified price-cutting competition and price increases of raw material for plastics of recコーン ベットt years. After reviewing from various viewpoints in order to drastically improve the business, we decided to implemコーン ベットt a structural reform of the keyboard business as follows.
In the structural reform, we will build a business structure suitable for focusing on manufacturing and sales of high quality, high priced models that will utilize our technologies and competitive strコーン ベットgths. In order to press forward with structural reform, we will post a business structural reform loss of &yコーン ベット;3.4 billion (consolidated basis) for organizational restructuring of manufacturing, sales and コーン ベットgineering, and disposal of excessive fixed assets such as manufacturing equipmコーン ベットt and dies, and invコーン ベットtory. We will implemコーン ベットt additional reform from various angles as necessary if the situation changes.
2. Loss from コーン ベットvaluation of affiliated company securities
Related to the above structural reform, keyboard manufacturing company SST will also post an extraordinary loss. As a result, the share value of SST's holding company Shコーン ベットg Ding Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, will be substantially below book value and will require an extコーン ベットded time for recovery. Due to this, we will post a total loss of &yコーン ベット;8.8 billion on our non-consolidated financial results for revaluation of Shコーン ベットg Ding Pte. Ltd.'s shares and business structural reform.
