7 8. Business Projections for Full-Term FY2010 Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. recorded net income for the third quarter of FY2010 totaling billion, which already exceeds the full-term FY2010 projection of billion. Meanwhile, at Tokio Marine & Nichido: The financial burden caused by the depletion of the balance of catastrophe loss reserve in auto insurance funded at the end of previous fiscal year will become most apparent in the fourth quarter.
