■ Pictures Segment Aggregated U.S. Dollar Information

Management analyzes the results of Entertainment Inc. (“SPE”) in U.S. dollars, so discussion of certain portions of its results is specified as being on “a U.S. dollar basis.” The underlying U.S. dollar aggregated results, which differ from the U.S. dollar convenience information presented in the earnings release, and the change in U.S. dollars, are described below. The underlying U.S. dollar aggregated results for Pictures are not reflected in Sony’s consolidated financial statements and are not measured in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Sony does not believe that these measures are a substitute for the U.S. GAAP measures. However, Sony believes that disclosing the underlying U.S. dollar aggregated results provides additional useful analytical information to investors regarding the operating performance of Sony and the Pictures segment.
