The beginning and very end of the email seem to have been overwritten.

st at the end of financial year.  SEGA
has been involved in litigation in the U.S.A. and currently settled
with a plaintiff to pay huge amount of money. Unfortunately, this
sudden exposure turned the  depreciation, which we expected in the
first place, into impossible.  As a result, we suffered a loss at
the previous transaction and be unable to maintain the price
anymore.
