(KMR), South Africa, which is a booking of impairment loss on the debased mining license retained indirectly which stemmed from the review made on the future business plan for KMR in consideration of the current business results continuing to dip below the planned figure initially drawn up in addition to the slumping manganese ore market.

Such 3 extraordinary losses are posted as:

(2)Likewise, the extraordinary loss of JPY1.641 billion is posted as a business disposal loss for suspension of it consolidated subsidiary, Vietnam Rare Earth Company Limited.
