(3) Notes

(Note on Going Concerns' Premise) Not applicable.

(Note on Significant Change in Shareholders' Equity) Not applicable.

(Application of Special Accounting Methods in Preparation of Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements)

(Calculation of tax expenses)

The Company calculates tax expenses based on a reasonable estimate of the effective tax rate after the application of tax effect accounting to profit before income taxes for the current consolidated fiscal year including the consolidated first quarter. We multiply this effective tax rate by the quarterly profit before income taxes for the cumulative period to calculate tax expenses.

(Additional Information)

(Payment related to the LNG procurement contract)

We postponed the delivery of a certain portion of contracted volume to subsequent years based on the LNG procurement contract in response to the dramatic decrease in demand caused by COVID-19. We paid US$24 million during the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year. This payment does not affect the consolidated

financial statements for the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

This payment may be used to reduce future payments by allocating said payment to the price when taking delivery of the volume in question in subsequent years. However, based on projected demand as of the end of the current consolidated first quarter and the circumstances surrounding LNG procurement contracts, we have not yet determined the timing of said delivery.
