Note: The above table is a breakdown of Electronics sales and operating revenue and operating income (loss) in Sony’s business segment information. The Electronics segment is managed as a single operating
segment by Sony’s management. However, Sony believes that the information in this table is useful to investors in understanding the product categories in this business segment. In addition, commenc-
ing with the year ended March 30, 2004, Sony has partly realigned its product category configuration in the Electronics segment. The primary changes are LCD televisions and Computer displays
(transferred from “Information and Communication” to “Televisions”), and Set-top boxes (transferred from “Televisions” to “Video”). Accordingly, results of the previous years have been reclassified.
