In effect from January 1, 2007, we have adopted SKAS1No. 21 (“Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements Ⅰ”) and SKAS No. 24 (“Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements Ⅱ (Financial Industry)”), pursuant to which the presentation and order of certain line items, including gain/loss on disposal of available-for-sale securities, have been reclassified from non-operating income to operating income. We have revised our financial statements for prior periods to effect this change.
