Notice on posting of losses on impairment of investment securities, and revision of business performance forecasts, for fiscal year ending February 2009
FamilyMart Co., Ltd. herewith announces the posting of losses on impairment of investment securities for the business term ending February 28, 2009. Impairment accounting has been applied to those securities holdings (within the classification of available-for-sale securities) whose market value has fallen significantly from the book value, and for which no likelihood of a price recovery is seen.
In line with this, we also announce hereunder revisions to the forecasts for the Company’s business performance for the fiscal 2008 business term (the business year from March 1, 2008 to February 28, 2009) that were announced on January 9, 2009.

4. Reasons for revised forecasts
Business performance has been comparatively steady, with figures at the operating and ordinary income levels roughly in line with our expectations in the consolidated and non-consolidated accounts, both being all-time highs. Operating income is forecast up 16.6% over the previous year on both a consolidated and non-consolidated basis, while ordinary income is forecast to rise 16.0% on a consolidated basis and 16.1% on a non-consolidated basis.
As a result of the posting of losses on impairment of investment securities described in section 1. above, we have revised downward our forecast for net income on both a consolidated and non-consolidated basis.
Note: The above forecasts are based on information known to the management of the Company as of the time of writing, and said forecasts may differ from the actual figures as a result of a large number of unquantifiable factors.
5. Dividends
We have made no revisions to our plans to pay a total dividend of \68 per share for fiscal 2008 (the term ending February 28, 2009), consisting of an interim dividend of \34 per share and a term-end dividend also of \34 per share.
