Broadmedia Corporation, which belonged to the Broadmedia business that was previously included in this segment, changed from a consolidated subsidiary to an equity method affiliate as the result of a capital increase via third-party allotment of shares carried out on May 16, 2008. The Broadmedia segment was therefore disbanded from fiscal 2009.
