SONY FY Results Cautionary Statements With Respect to Forward-Looking Statements Statements made in this presentation with respect to Sony's current plans, estimates, strategies and beliefs and other statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements about the future performance of Sony. These statements are based on management's assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently available to it and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Sony cautions you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to (i) general economic conditions in Sony's markets, particularly levels of consumer spending; (ii) exchange rates, particularly between the yen and the U.S. dollar, and other currencies in which Sony makes significant sales or in which Sony's assets and liabilities are denominated; and (iii) Sony's ability to continue to design and develop and win acceptance of its products and services, which are offered in highly competitive markets characterized by continual new product introductions, rapid developments in technology (particularly in the Electronics business), and subjective and changing consumer preferences (particularly in the Game, Music and Pictures businesses).
