Reason for differences in profit attributable to owners of parent in the consolidated earnings for the first six months
The profit attributable to owners of parent for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 rose above the initial forecast, due mainly to the recording of gain on reversal of subscription rights to shares as extraordinary income.
