Sony realigned its business segments from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 to reflect
modifications to its organizational structure as of April 1, 2012, primarily repositioning the operations of the previously
reported Consumer Products & Services (“CPS”), Professional, Device & Solutions (“PDS”) and Sony Mobile
Communications (“Sony Mobile”) segments.  In connection with this realignment, the operations of the former CPS,
PDS and Sony Mobile segments are reclassified in five newly established segments, namely the Imaging Products &
Solutions (“IP&S”), Game, Mobile Products & Communications (“MP&C”), Home Entertainment & Sound (“HE&S”)
and Devices segments, as well as All Other.  The previously reported Sony Mobile segment is now included in the
MP&C segment as the Mobile Communications category.  The network business previously included in the CPS
segment and the medical business previously included in the PDS segment are now included in All Other.  For further
details regarding segment and category changes, see page 15.
In connection with this realignment, both sales and operating revenue (“sales”) and operating income (loss) of each
segment in the second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2011 have been restated to conform to the current
fiscal year’s presentation.
The average foreign exchange rates during the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 are presented below.
