2. Reason for the difference occurring

Net income of the company increased mainly due to an increase in telecommunications services revenues, an increase in operating income as a result of a decrease in depreciation and amortization associated with a change in depreciation and amortization method used, and a decrease in corporate tax associated with a deduction for operating loss carry-forwards involved in subsidiaries of the company.
