Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. ("K" Line") announces that, in the fourth quarter of the consolidated fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, it will record a profit arising from the reversal of a large portion of loss due to revaluation of investment securities which was recorded as the market prices of the investment securities had fallen substantially and would not be likely to recover during the preceding three quarters.
