| --- | --- |
Amid the restriction of people’s movement worldwide – in response to the spread of COVID-19 – consumer spending and corporate economic activity remains stagnant. At this point in time, it is impossible to predict when the pandemic will fade, creating an environment where it is difficult to reasonably forecast the Company’s consolidated results. Therefore, the Company has decided to revise its previous results forecast for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 to “Undetermined.” Once it becomes possible to provide a forecast, the Company will make prompt disclosure.
