While the Group expects to record a consolidated net income for the year ending March 31, 2015, it also expects that the Group will not be able to recover from its cumulative loss due to its heavy cumulative loss at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Therefore the Group intends to forgo year-end dividend payments but will work toward improved results that will allow dividends to be reinstated at the earliest possible date.
