Notes: 1. Shaded areas indicate revised items.
2. For R&D investment — which has been added from the March 2017 survey — half-year figures has
been surveyed at first, as
with current investment-related items, and the change to fiscal-year figures will be applied along with these items in due course.
Around 2020, the Bank will introduce a new survey category called
"Overseas Business Activities." Specifically, the Bank will conduct a quarterly
survey on actual results and forecasts on a consolidated basis for the following
five items — sales, overseas sales, current profits, fixed investment, and
overseas fixed investment — publishing aggregated amounts for each figure
as estimates of the population total.

4 Based on our survey policy to improve the convenience for users as well as to reduce the
burden on survey respondents to the greatest extent possible, the Bank will stop surveying
operating profits and half-year figures of investment-related items along with the above
revisions in around 2020.
