Statement of Revenue and Expenditure (Summary) This fiscal year marked its second fiscal year-end since its merger; and therefore, without the special revenue such as-the previous fiscal year, Total Revenue and Transfer to Capital Fund were based on ordinary activities. Total Revenue amounted to 29,672 million yen, while Total Expenditure amounted to 26,714 million yen; and therefore, Balance of Current Year before Transfer to Capital Fund ([Total Revenue] – [Total Expenditure]) was 2,958 million yen. Furthermore, given the transferring of 401 million yen to Capital Fund and the reversal of 312 million yen of Capital Fund, Balance of Current Year ([Balance of Current Year before Transfer to Capital Fund] – [Transfer to Capital Fund]) amounted to a surplus of 2,557 million yen. The reason for the increase in Balance of Current Year lies in the fact that Capital Fund No.2 was used to pay for the progress made in the refurbishment plans for existing buildings, and thus less amount were Transferred-to Capital Fund No.1.
