   2.   Reasons for Revision 

As the spread of COVID-19 infections becomes more serious around the world, Chuo has made every effort to ensure a stable supply of products through hygiene-and-safety management and the implementation of infection prevention measures. Chuo has also been promoting its approach to growth markets and shoring up its general-purpose container business. In Japan, demand in the event, restaurant, travel and other traditional consumer industries continues to decline, however that for ready-to-eat and home-cooked meals has remained strong due to new work styles and changes in consumer behavior triggered by COVID-19. Takeout and the use of food delivery services have steadily become part of the new normal.

Cognizant of growing global awareness of environmental concerns, Chuo is also developing and launching a variety of eco-friendly materials and products. Falling crude oil prices have kept raw materials prices down, and with the pandemic necessitating work-style reforms, Chuo has managed to leverage those changes to improve its operational efficiency. The company is forecasting increases in both its ordinary and non-consolidated operating income.

Having examined the possibility of recovering some of the fixed-asset losses at its plants sometime in the future, Chuo anticipates booking a loss of 245 million in accordance with Accounting Standard for Impairment of Fixed Assets. On the other hand, after having also thoroughly examined the possibility of recovering deferred-tax assets based on future full year forecast, Chuo expects to book those assets at the end of March 2021 and gain 472 million yen (in profit) through corporate-tax and other year-end adjustments. Chuo projects that this will both contribute to an increase in its ordinary income and bring its non-consolidated net income in above its initial forecast.

In China, economic activity has returned to normal thanks to a relatively swift recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in lifestyles, supply of products more cognizant of elevated environmental awareness, and progress made in optimizing production at Chuo's three Chinese plants have resulted in a healthy uptick in performance. As a result, both consolidated ordinary income and net income are expected to exceed initial forecasts.
