This decrease was primarily due to the increase of cash inflow, year-on-year, resulting from the sale of the chemical products related business and the sale of Sony’s equity interest in Sharp Display Products Corporation, partially offset by the increase in cash outflow, year-on-year, 9 resulting from the acquisition of Gaikai Inc., included in other investing activities, and the investment in EMI, included in payments for investments and advances." Sales of property and cost of acquisitions are both recorded here, huiii |
This seems to be about the chash flow, not earnings. Aquisitions simlpy don't have any effect on profits.
And of corse you'll find it somewhere in the report. They are obliged to report this stuff by law i think.
