Tecmo Revises Earnings Upwards

Officials from Tecmo have announced that the company has revised its earnings for the first half of 2003 fiscal year by 32.3% to 3.9 billion yen ($35.6m). At the same time ordinary profits have increased from 300,000 yen to 6.3 million yen ($57,430). The increase is due to higher than expected sales of Monster Farm 4 (to be known as Monster Rancher 4 in the West) and various pachinko simulators.
