MANAGEMENT POLICIES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Basic Kirin Group Management Policies
Based on its philosophy of contributing to the health, happiness and comfort of people around the world, the Kirin Group
has established the following five management policies:
(1)Priority on Customers and Quality
(2)Open and Fair Behavior
(3)Respect for People
(4)Sound Management
(5)Contribution to Society
Based on the above policies, the Kirin Group aims to be a corporate group that creates value to enrich the lives of
customers.
2. Fundamental Company Policy on Distribution of Profits
At Kirin, providing appropriate returns on income to shareholders is a top management priority, so that the Company has
never failed to provide an annual dividend without fail since its establishment in 1907. In the future as well, while
giving due consideration to matters such as strengthening the quality of management and business development, Kirin
believes that providing stable dividends is the way to meet shareholder demands. Retained earnings will be earmarked for
investment in businesses for future business investment.
3. Position and Policy on Reduction of the Stock Trading Unit
Kirin places importance on increasing its corporate value, expanding its shareholder base and increasing the liquidity
of its stock. The Company will seriously consider reducing the trading unit, taking into account the overall costs and
benefits.
4. Targeted Management Indicators
A key management objective is improving EVA * (a performance indicator) in order to strengthen the profit structure. By
investing in growth fields and strategically allocating resources to maximize efficacy and efficiency, the Kirin Group
aims to achieve its sales targets despite the turbulent market environment and build a solid corporate structure that
continues to generate earnings.
*EVA (Economic Value Added) is a registered trademark of Stern Stewart & Co.
5. Medium- to Long-term Management Strategy
The KG 21 Action Plan, a medium-term business plan covering the years 2001 to 2003, was announced in September 2000.
This plan will serve as the basis for structural reform of the entire Kirin Group, with the aim of creating a solid
management foundation. In addition, the domestic alcohol beverage business, centered on low-alcohol beverages, will be
restructured; Kirin Group companies will work together to be a business group that creates value to enhance the lives of
customers; and steps will be taken to strengthen product and marketing capabilities while increasing quality and
productivity.
6. Issues for the Kirin Group
(1) Structural Reform of the Kirin Group and Stronger Cooperation among Group Companies
Reorganization of Businesses
To promote group management, increase the corporate value of the Kirin Group and boost profitability, Kirin's
previous five main business segments and 15 business fields have been restructured into Core Businesses,
Core-related Businesses and Diversified Businesses.
Reform of Corporate Structure
Based on the new arrangement of businesses, begun in 2001, the structure of the Kirin Group's structure was
reorganized into a holding company, with business companies and internal business units renamed "companies."
Kirin Brewery operates both as a business company managing the domestic alcohol business, and as a holding
company overseeing each business and strengthening group operations.
Reform of Corporate Management
In 2001, EVA was adopted throughout the Kirin Group as a new performance indicator to evaluate the results and
progress of each business company and internal company.
(2) Increasing Corporate Value by Strengthening Profitability, with Core Businesses as the Nucleus
Shifting to a Comprehensive Alcohol Beverage Company Centered on Low-Alcohol Beverages
Kirin is focusing less on business limited to specific alcohol categories in favor of developing a comprehensive
alcohol business emphasizing beer, happo-shu, chu-hi drinks and other low-alcohol beverages. This repositioning
allows Kirin to satisfy the diverse tastes of its customers while providing maximum value.
Structural Reforms to Strengthen Group Competitiveness
In marketing divisions, Kirin si aiming to strengthen sales capabilities by building a customer-oriented
marketing structure adaptable to change in the business environment. In production divisions, new product
development is being accelerated and more advanced technology introduced to support Kirin's shift to a
comprehensive alcohol beverage company. Simultaneously, we will promote the creation of a highly efficient
production system. In distribution divisions, structural reforms will be carried out for administrative
operations.
Develop Diversified Businesses Centered on the Pharmaceutical Business
In the pharmaceutical business, Kirin will further strengthen its domestic sales system. To enhance the product
pipeline, we will concentrate resources in research, speed up development, and introduce new drug candidates
through in-licensing. We will also take steps to strengthen the business platforms of the agribio and nutrient
food and feed businesses.
(3) Coexistence with Society
With society placing increasing demands on companies in the future to earn public trust, the Kirin Group will
meet its social responsibility by conduct business activities in conformity with compliance measures. Kirin will
also continue to reinforce environmental management and conducting educational activities to promote responsible
drinking.
7. Policies Concerning the Management Structure
As part of its management structure reform Kirin revised the makeup of the Board of Directors, introducing an
executive officer system to clarify the responsibilities of the decision-making and operating functions. Reducing
the number of Directors and the establishment of an advisory board will enhance the top-level decision-making
function of the Board of Directors. The establishment of an Appointment Advisory Committee and Compensation
Advisory Committee will help increase transparency in management, and the establishment of new meeting bodies
will create a structure to support prompt decision-making by the executive officers.
The Company's corporate governance structure is as follows:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Review of Operations
The Japanese economy showed a slight improvement in terms of corporate earnings, but the period was marked by
increasingly tight employment conditions and slow consumer spending, the country being unable to shake off the mood of
recession.
In the beer and happo-shu market, along with the long-term decline in consumption, the rise in the tax levied on
happo-shu, implemented in May as part of the reform of the tax structure, had a significant effect, as total demand fell
markedly from the same period of the previous year. The market for chu-hi and other low-alcohol beverages, however, rose
sharply from the same period of the previous year. In the wine, spirits and shochu market, sales of whiskey fell well
below the same period of the previous year. Sales of wine, on which taxes were raised, were flat compared to the same
period of the previous year, but sales of shochu continued to grow due to the drink's lower price and a change in
consumer preferences. The soft drinks market also suffered from the effects of a slowdown in consumption, overall demand
ended the period on par with that of the same period of the previous year. In the pharmaceutical industry, there were
lingering effects from lowering of drug prices implemented in April 2002.
Amid this difficult operating environment, Kirin continued to make efforts to increase customer support and achieve the
goals outlined in this final year of the three-year, medium-term business plan begun in 2001 (KG 21 Action Plan).
Consolidated sales for the period under review increased 0.7% from the same period of the previous year to 732.8 billion
yen, owing to an increase in sales in the soft drinks business, which offset a decline in beer sales. In terms of
profitability, although negative effects were felt from the lowering of prices for happo-shu, reform of the profit
structure led to a 11.2% increase in consolidated operating income to 37.5 billion yen, a 29.0% increase in income
before extraordinary items to 39.0 billion yen, and a 35.0% increase in net income to 13.9 billion yen.
The interim dividend was 6 yen per share.
Results by Business Segment
Alcohol Beverage Business
Kirin continued to strengthen cooperation within the Group in order to develop a comprehensive alcohol business, while
making strategic investments in resources and bolstering marketing.
In the beer category, the Company developed new products around its key Kirin Lager and Kirin Ichiban Shibori brands
that offer added value and an individuality distinct from happo-shu. Kirin Lager's position as the Company's flagship
brand was bolstered by the limited release of Kirin Classic Lager in cans in the Chugoku and Shikoku areas, and the
launch of Kirin Lager Blue Label, with 50 percent less sugar, in response to a growing health consciousness. For Ichiban
Shibori, Kirin continued with its "food" series of commercials, aim of secure its position as the representative draft
beer brand. Kirin further strove to bring a new kind of fun to beer, by offering the Kirin Tarunama System, made
available through the Company's chilled distribution system to ensure quality, allowing consumers to enjoy authentic
draft beer at home. The sales area was increased for the unfiltered, live-yeast beer Maroyaka Kobo, which had been test
marketed the previous year, and a new product, Maroyaka Kobo Hana-kaori, featuring an even more opulent fragrance, was
launched on a limited basis.
In the happo-shu (low-malt beer) category, Kirin continued to strengthen its key Kirin Tanrei brand, as well as the
Tanrei Green Label and Gokunama brands, both launched last year. Other value-added happo-shu brands were also launched
to provide new value and respond to diversified customer needs, including Tanrei Alpha, which employs a newly-developed
technology to remove 90 percent (Kirin's comparison) of purine bodies, and the dark happo-shu Namakuro, a sister brand
of Gokunama. Kirin also launched on a limited basis a new happo-shu, Kirin Honey Brown, which delivers a new kind of
taste by using honey as one of its ingredients, in an aim to offer a new appeal for happo-shu.
In the beer taste sparkling beverage category, which has attracted much attention from customers since last year, Kirin
launched Malt Squash. This is not simply a substitute for beer, but a new kind of easy-drinking, refreshing and
unsweetened beverage. It is different from the traditional non-alcoholic beer scene, creating a new category of beer
taste sparkling beverage for adults.
In the chu-hi category, Kirin Chu-hi Hyoketsu continued to sell well. A new lime flavor was added to the lineup, and
Chardonnay Sparkling was launched as the first offering from the Premium Fruits series. By appealing with quality and
authenticity, and offering new value in the chu-hi drink category, Kirin is managing to include drinkers of wine and
cocktails in the class of chu-hi drinkers, and seeking to drastically change the image of chu-hi drinks. Brand freshness
was also improved though through aggressive promotions that included wide-scale sampling and other measures.
In the spirits and wine category, Kirin added to its lineup of everyday wines by importing and selling wine produced by
a subsidiary of Kirin Group company Lion Nathan Limited. Kirin also expanded its business foundation in February when it
acquired the Japan sales rights to Franzia, the world's top-selling wine brand*.
*Greatest sales volume for a single brand (Source: Impact Databank 2002 Edition)
In an effort to create a new kind of shochu (Japanese distilled liquor made from grain) market last year, Kirin widened
the sales area for Mugi Shochu Pure Blue, released on a trial basis in select areas, and for Hyoketsu 21o Straight.
Kirin also conducted aggressive promotional campaigns, including "KIRIN Loves Sports Campaign 'Kachi-T' Present," a
nationwide campaign designed to show Kirin as a supporter of sports.
In sales and marketing, Kirin Communication Stage Co., Ltd., which mainly handles in-store marketing for volume
retailers, widened its operational area to include the Kinki region in January, and began operating nationwide in April.
This subsidiary has been operating in the Tokyo area since its establishment last September. Kirin also continued with
effective investment of marketing funds and strategic allocation of resources in growth markets.
In the international beer business, Kirin Pure and Light, a new beer developed in cooperation with Lion Nathan's Chinese
subsidiary, Lion Nathan Beer & Beverages (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., and produced at its Suzhou Brewery, was launched in
Shanghai in January. In May a new Kirin brand of beer produced by Lion Nathan, KIRIN ICHIBAN-First Press Beer, was
launched in Australia and New Zealand.
As a result of the above, net sales of the alcohol beverage business totaled 476.9 billion yen, an decrease of 3.9%
compared with the same period of the previous year.
Soft Drinks Business
Kirin Beverage Corporation, which operates Kirin's soft drinks business, undertook efforts to expand the scope of its
business, strengthening the product portfolio of its key brands and concentrating its sales activities in growth
markets.
By product, the new premium brand Kirin Kuchidoke Namacha was added to the Kirin Namacha lineup, and aggressive measures
including Internet campaigns were employed to increase the freshness of the brand. Improved taste and packaging for
Gogono-kocha ("afternoon tea"), carried out in April, resulted in improved sales. A greater variety of packaging for
Kirin Amino Supli was also introduced, increasing the volume drunk at home. To enhance its position in the growing
market for mineral water, the Company began selling Volvic, the top brand of imported mineral water.
In marketing, Kirin stepped up sales efforts to volume retailer channels, the most important strategic market. In
production, the Company continued to focus on cutting production costs and enhancing product quality management.
In the China business, conducted through local joint ventures, Kirin is strengthening its operating base, following
Kirin Gogono-kocha and Kirin Namacha with the launch of Kirin Amino Supli and Kirin Kikicha, and steadily improving
performance.
As a result of the above, net sales of the soft drink business totaled 164.1 billion yen, an increase of 4.3% compared
with the same period of the previous year.
Pharmaceuticals Business
In the pharmaceutical business, Kirin continued to conduct information sharing activities with Sankyo Co., Ltd. for
ESPO, a genetically engineered hormone that regulates red blood cell production, and for GRAN, an agent that stimulates
white blood cell production, as well as focused on exclusive marketing efforts in Japan for Rocaltrol Injection, a
treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Approval for the manufacture of ESPO pre-filled syringes was received in
October 2002, and the product was launched in April. Approval was received in January for the hyperphosphatemia agent
PHOSBLOCK Tablets, developed in cooperation with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and launched in June.
Net sales in the pharmaceutical business, as a result of extention of Kirin's own marketing, totaled 24.0 billion yen,
an increase of 6.9% compared with the same period of the previous year.
Other Business
In agribio, Kirin began marketing the new color Blue in its Blue Wave series of petunia hybrid, which was awarded prizes
this year in two major international floriculture competitions. Kirin also developed an effective testing system that
uses DNA markers to identify chrysanthemum varieties resistant to White Rust (Albugo candida).
In nutrient food, Takeda-Kirin Foods Corporation began marketing their jointly developed beer yeast extract Komi,
strengthening its seasoning product lineup. Sales in the health food business were also strong.
Thus, net sales of other businesses totaled 67.6 billion yen, an increase of 31.3% compared with the same period of the
previous year.
2. Financial Position
Cash and cash equivalents ("cash") on a consolidated basis during the 2003 interim period was affected by capital
investment expenditures in the alcohol business and other acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, as well as
expenditures of cash for investing activities such as acquisition of shares in subsidiary companies following a change
in the scope of consolidation, but this was covered by available cash resources. As a result, cash decreased 31.4
billion yen from the previous fiscal year to 74.1 billion yen.
Consolidated cash flows are as follows:
Cash flow from operating activities
Although net income for the interim period before income taxes and minority interests increased by 8.6 billion yen, and
a 41.3 billion yen inflow of working capital due to increases and decreases in accounts receivable and inventories were
factors behind an increase in cash, there was an outflow of 39.7 billion yen in working capital due to changes in beer
taxes payable. As a result of these and other factors, net cash provided by operating activities decreased 3.1 billion
yen from the same period of the previous year to 23.5 billion yen.
Cash flow from investing activities
Payments for purchase of property, plant and equipment included capital investment in the domestic alcohol business,
declining by 10.6 billion yen from the same period of the previous year to 30.1 billion yen. An expenditure of 11.8
billion yen was also made for acquisition of shares in subsidiary companies, following a change in the scope of
consolidation. Proceeds from the sale and redemption of marketable securities and investments in securities, however,
totaled 3.5 billion yen. As a result of these and other factors, net cash used in investing activities declined by 97.8
billion yen from the same period of the previous year to 35.7 billion yen.
Cash flow from financing activities
Expenditures for cash dividends paid increased by 3.5 billion yen from the same period of the previous year to 11.5
billion yen. Expenditures for repayment of bank loans were 7.4 billion yen. As a result, net cash used in financing
activities was 19.2 billion yen, an increase of 82.2 yen billion over the same period of the previous year.
Trends in the Kirin Group's cash flow indicators are as follows:
2002 2003 2002
Interim Interim Year-end
Equity ratio (%) 43.6 45.6 44.1
Market capitalization ratio (%) 46.2 47.6 41.8
Debt redemption (years) - - 4.0
Interest coverage ratio 6.7 4.9 10.0
Notes
1. Equity ratio = Shareholders' equity / Total assets
2. Market capitalization ratio = Aggregate market value of shareholders' equity / Total assets
3. Debt redemption = Interest-bearing liabilities / Cash flow from operating activities (Not recorded for the interim
period)
4. Interest coverage ratio = Cash flow from operating activities / Interest payments
* Each indicator is calculated from consolidated financial data.
*. Market capitalization is calculated as the share price at the end of the fiscal period multiplied by the number of
shares issued (excluding treasury stock)
Cash flow from operating activities is taken from the cash flow from operating activities on the consolidated statement
of cash flows. Interest-bearing liabilities reflects all liabilities with interest payable recorded on the liabilities
section of the consolidated balance sheets. The figure for interest payments is taken from the interest payments
recorded in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
3. Outlook
In the final year of the KG 21 Action Plan, Kirin is further strengthening coordination and cooperation among the Group
companies in order to achieve the goals of this plan. Additional efforts to reform the cost structure are being
undertaken to this end, based on the results of similar efforts made mainly in the domestic alcohol business in 2002,
aiming to forge a strong corporate structure where stable earnings can be maintained.
In the domestic alcohol business, strategic investments were made in growth categories such as happo-shu, chu-hi drinks,
shochu and wine, further strengthening the base of the comprehensive alcohol business, and providing customers with new,
attractive levels of value. Kirin will also streamline its distribution network and marketing structure and step up
sales efforts in response to the rise in the tax on happo-shu, liberalization of alcohol sales regulations, and other
changes in the market environment.
Product initiatives include further strengthening of the Lager, Ichiban Shibori and Tanrei brands, and providing
customers with new levels of added value. The Company will also strive to enhance its ability to offer a full line-up of
alcohol products, by further developing the Hyoketsu series and strengthening the spirits, wine and shochu businesses.
Sales measures will focus on achieving sales targets and protecting margins, which will be accomplished through further
strengthening of sales effectiveness and strategic distribution of resources into growth markets.
In production, Kirin has begun its renewal of the Fukuoka plant, aiming to build a more efficient production structure.
In the distribution division, Kirin will continue its efforts to improve the efficiency of distribution throughout the
Group.
In the soft drinks business, Kirin will pursue greater streamlining and efficiency throughout its operations,
strengthening its mainstay brands Kirin Namacha, and Kirin Gogono-kocha ("afternoon tea"), and entering a marketing
alliance for vending machines with Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd.
In the pharmaceutical business, Kirin will strengthen sales of existing products beginning with ESPO and GRAN, a
genetically engineered hormone that regulates red blood cell production and work to further increase the products in its
development pipeline. It will also continue to focus on R&D for human antibody and cell treatments.
In the agribio business, business will be expanded in the key fields of chrysanthemums and carnations, and further
enhancements to the operational base made both in Japan and overseas. In the nutrient food business, Kirin will pursue
development of high-value added products that use beer yeast.
As a result of the above, for the year ending December 31, 2003, Kirin projects consolidated sales of 1,610.0 billion
yen (a year-on-year increase of 1.7%), income before extraordinary items of 87.0 billion yen (a year-on-year increase of
3.0%), and net income of 33.0 billion yen (a year-on-year increase of 1.4%).
Cash dividends for 2003 are expected to total 12 yen per share, consisting of interim and year-end dividends of 6 yen
per share each.

used the affiliate's latest financial statements and necessary adjustments are made for applying the equity
method.
1. Valuation of securities
Debt securities intended to be held to maturity are valued by the amortized cost method.
Available-for-sale securities with fair market values are stated at fair market value as of the balance sheet date.
Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable income taxes, as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sale of such securities are computed using the moving-average method.
Other securities without market value are stated at cost determined by moving-average method.
2. Valuation of derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair values.
3. Valuation of Inventories
Merchandise, finished goods and semi-finished goods are mainly stated at cost determined by the average method.
Raw materials and supplies are mainly stated at cost determined by the moving average method.
Construction in process is stated at cost determined by the specific identification method.
4. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated on the declining balance method, except for buildings
(excluding building fixtures) acquired on and after April 1, 1998, where depreciation is calculated on the straight-line
method. Leased assets are depreciated over each lease term based on the straight-line method with the estimated residual
value at the end of the lease term. Consolidated foreign subsidiaries adopt the straight-line method.
5. Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization of intangible assets is calculated on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Consolidated
foreign subsidiaries mainly adopt the straight-line method over 20 years.
6. Allowance for doubtful accounts
Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses on collection. It consists
of the estimated uncollectible amount with respect to certain identified doubtful receivables and an amount calculated
using the actual percentage of collection losses.
7. Pension and retirement benefits
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries provide allowance for employees' pension and retirement benefits at the
balance sheet date based on the estimated amounts of projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets
at the end of current fiscal year. Actuarial differences are amortized by the straight-line method over the average
estimated service period, which is 15 years, beginning from the following fiscal year.
8. Leases
Finance leases, except for those leases under which the ownership of the leased assets is considered to be transferred
to the lessee, are accounted for in the same manner as operating leases.
Consolidated foreign subsidiaries mainly capitalize finance leases.
9. Hedge accounting
If derivative financial instruments are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries defer recognition of gains or losses resulting from the changes in fair value of derivative
financial instruments until the related losses or gains on the hedged items are recognized.
However, in cases where forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swap contracts are used as hedges and meet
certain hedging criteria, foreign currency receivables or payables are recorded at the contracted rates.
Also, if interest rate swap contracts are used as hedges and meet certain hedging criteria, the net amount to be paid or
received under the interest rate swap contracts is added to or deducted from the interest on the assets or liabilities
for which the swap contract was executed.
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments only for the purpose of mitigating
future risks of fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates with respect to foreign currency receivable and payable,
interest rate fluctuation with respect to loans receivable and payable, and mitigating future risks of fluctuation of
commodity prices for raw materials such as aluminum.
The following summarizes hedging derivative financial instruments used by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
and items hedged:
Hedging instruments Hedged items
Forward foreign exchange contracts and currency Foreign currency receivables and payables, future transactions
swap contracts etc. in foreign currencies
Interest rate swap contracts etc. Loans receivable and loans payable
Commodity swap contracts etc. Commodity price
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries evaluate the effectiveness of hedging activities semi-annually by
comparing the cumulative changes in cash flows from or the changes in fair value of hedged items and the corresponding
changes in the hedging derivative instruments.
10. Consumption tax
Consumption tax is excluded from the revenue and expense accounts, which are subject to such tax.
11. Cash and cash equivalents
In preparing the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash on hand, readily available deposits and short-time highly
liquid investments with negligible risk of changes in value and maturities not exceeding 3 months at the time of
purchase are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
CHANGE IN PRESENTATION:
(Consolidated Statements of Income)
Gain on transactions related to gift coupon was presented separately because the amount exceeded 10% of total
non-operating income. It was losses of 45 million yen and was included in "other" of non-operating expenses for the 6
months ended June 30, 2002.
(Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows)
Proceeds from termination of life insurance investment of 544 million yen for the 6 months ended June 30,2003, which
was separately presented in cash flows from investing activities for the 6 months ended June 30, 2002, was included in
"other" of cash flows from investing activities due to immateriality of its amount.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
(Accounting for treasury stock and reversal of statutory reserve)
Effective from current interim accounting period, the Company and its subsidiaries totally adopted the new accounting
standard for treasury stock and reversal of statutory reserves (Accounting Standards Board Statement No.1,"Accounting
Standard for Treasury Stock and Reduction of Statutory Reserves", issued by the Accounting Standard Board of Japan on
February 21, 2002). The adoption of the new accounting standard had no impact on the accompanying consolidated
statements of income for the 6 months ended June 30, 2003. As a result of adopting this new accounting standard and
application of the related revised disclosure requirements, shareholders' equity accounts in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2003 and consolidated statements of retained earnings for the 6 months
ended June 30, 2003 are presented differently from prior fiscal year.

(Changes in classification of business segments and method of allocation of operating expenses)
In consideration of the recent increase in importance of the Pharmaceuticals business, the Company reviewed its
segmentation and made the change in classifications in order to more clearly report the business segment information. As
a result, the business segment information, which was previously presented by three segments (Alcoholic Beverages, Soft
Drinks and Others), was classified into four segments (Alcoholic Beverages, Soft Drinks, Pharmaceuticals and Others) for
the 6 months ended June 30, 2003
Following the change described above, the Company considered more rational standard of allocation for companywide
operating expenses which better reflects the size of operations of each segment, as the Company promoted efficiency in
domestic alcoholic beverage business by downsizing its workforce. And, accordingly, the Company changed the method of
allocation for those expenses from the previous standard of proportional allocation based on numbers of employees for
each segment to the new standard of proportional allocation based on sales amount of each segment, in order to more
accurately reflect in segment information the actual conditions under which such expenses are incurred.
Because of the change, in comparison with the previous presentation, operating expenses of the Alcoholic Beverages
segment increased by 2,302 million yen , operating expenses of the Soft Drinks segment increased by 6 million yen ,
operating expenses of the Pharmaceuticals segment decreased by 2,231 million yen , and operating expenses of the Others
segment decreased by 78 million yen for the 6 months ended June 30, 2003.
Business segment information for the 6 months ended June 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2002, restated to
conform with the change of classifications for business segment information and the method of allocation of operating
expenses adopted for the 6 months ended June 30, 2003, was as follows.
