(Notes)
1. The above segments are based on "Orders received by segment" on P.13 of financial factbook 1st half of FY2009. We have omitted the segments “Real estate agency services, etc.” and “Resort hotels and golf courses” from the table, as these segments have minimal impact on total orders. However, the “Total” contains the figures of these two segments.
2. The figures for “Rental houses,” “Condominiums,” “Commercial facilities,” and “Business and corporate facilities” contain orders of land and buildings for sale.
3. We have calculated the year-on-year changes in cumulative orders on a value basis.
4. The above figures are provisional figures and may differ from the actual final figures.
