:01:03. > :01:08.Toshiba is losing or making The troubled Japanese tech giant
:01:09. > :01:11.says auditors have signed off its financial results
:01:12. > :01:15.for the year to the end of March. This comes after months of delays
:01:16. > :01:18.and should mean Toshiba avoids an immediate delisting from the top
:01:19. > :01:24.tier of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It has now been revealed Toshiba
:01:25. > :01:26.made an 8.8 early in dollars loss. -- 8.8 billion dollars.
:01:27. > :01:29.So what's gone wrong for the 140-year-old Japanese giant?
:01:30. > :01:33.Well, two years ago an accounting scandal was revealed that
:01:34. > :01:36.led to the resignation of several members of the firm's senior
:01:37. > :01:47.At the time company was found to have inflated the previous seven
:01:48. > :01:48.years profits by a massive $1.2 billion.
:01:49. > :01:53.Problems came to a head again this year, when Toshiba's US nuclear
:01:54. > :02:00.unit, Westinghouse was forced to file for bankruptcy protection
:02:01. > :02:09.after suffering a $13 billion cost overrun.
:02:10. > :02:12.As you can imagine its proving pretty difficult to find a buyer
:02:13. > :02:17.for Westinghouse - so Toshiba has yet to confirm any interest.
:02:18. > :02:19.So in a desperate move Toshiba is forced to put up
:02:20. > :02:26.This is a major part of its business, that makes memory
:02:27. > :02:37.Analysts have valued it at about $18 billion.
:02:38. > :02:40.All of this has taken its toll on the company's share price,
:02:41. > :02:43.which has effectively halved, and in April Toshiba actually warned
:02:44. > :02:52.Joining us now from Tokyo is Damian Thong, tech analyst
:02:53. > :03:05.Good to see you. Give us your reaction to the news we have heard
:03:06. > :03:10.today, this loss of 8.8 billion dollars. How bad is that, or is it
:03:11. > :03:17.in line with what people were expecting? I think the market is
:03:18. > :03:21.looking forward. The losses, in many ways, are a thing of the past. It is
:03:22. > :03:25.important to know what they were, but what the market really wants to
:03:26. > :03:29.know is whether they can sell the memory business in time to avoid the
:03:30. > :03:32.listing at the end of the fiscal year. We will see that in the first
:03:33. > :03:36.quarter results. The memory business is going through a phenomenal
:03:37. > :03:39.period, profits are through the roof. If you look at the four-year
:03:40. > :03:43.guidance that has been given, basically all the profits for
:03:44. > :03:48.Toshiba are in the memory business. If this is not the time to sell for
:03:49. > :03:54.good value, then in some sense, the chances of Toshiba being able to
:03:55. > :03:56.afford to be nuclear liabilities in its future restructuring will be
:03:57. > :04:01.severely diminished. Everything hangs on the sale of the memory
:04:02. > :04:05.business. How is that a sale going? Given that sell got in trouble with
:04:06. > :04:14.various parts of Toshiba. -- that sale. That is right. Toshiba's
:04:15. > :04:21.long-standing partner is opposed to a disposal. And there are issues
:04:22. > :04:25.such as anti-trust hurdles that Toshiba would have to cross with the
:04:26. > :04:32.sale. The time, the window for this to happen, is getting rather short.
:04:33. > :04:36.If they do not clear the sale by the end of this fiscal year, which ends
:04:37. > :04:40.in March, the Tokyo stock exchange will be put in a situation where
:04:41. > :04:44.Toshiba will be in breach of the rules and they would have to look at
:04:45. > :04:49.the delisting criteria. Financial solvency is not the issue. However,
:04:50. > :04:54.it will still be able to certainly the prestige of the company, and
:04:55. > :04:58.also, I certainly think it could lead to further issues in the
:04:59. > :05:03.sequencing of future reforms. Getting the deal done to sell memory
:05:04. > :05:08.will wobbly have to be done sometime in the next one or two months. --
:05:09. > :05:12.probably. Let's assume they successfully sell the memory chip
:05:13. > :05:17.unit, which is worth a locked and is doing extremely well. What is left
:05:18. > :05:21.of Toshiba, if it sells that unit? You speak about restructuring and
:05:22. > :05:28.dealing with the Westinghouse loss. But what is left for Toshiba? It
:05:29. > :05:32.will be a very reduced company. In many ways, it will be focused on the
:05:33. > :05:38.old economy, including things like thermal power, as well as some of
:05:39. > :05:44.its old industrial businesses, like industrial motors, and selling
:05:45. > :05:48.freight locomotives. Certainly I think they will probably have to
:05:49. > :05:52.restore both the customer trust, so that they can win new business
:05:53. > :05:57.again, and also basically shift them all the way from making things
:05:58. > :06:00.towards providing services, to create recurring revenue streams
:06:01. > :06:06.that are profitable in the long-term. The cultural shift that
:06:07. > :06:09.is required will take many years to come. What the sale of the memory
:06:10. > :06:13.business gives them is the breathing room to make the necessary reforms,
:06:14. > :06:19.to be much healthier but also to be a much reduced company, compare to
:06:20. > :06:24.the glorious heyday. Thank you for your time, we appreciate it. Just to
:06:25. > :06:28.say, of course, the news is coming out from Toshiba. More details are

:08:28. > :08:33.in PR for technology companies would become untenable? I have been
:08:34. > :08:37.thinking for a long time about all of the ways that work does not align
:08:38. > :08:41.well with being a professional parent. She decided to set up her
:08:42. > :08:44.own firm and set about putting in place family family policies, the
:08:45. > :08:48.types which most people in this country do not have access to. I
:08:49. > :08:51.decided to be intentional about building a business where we could
:08:52. > :08:55.be our whole selves. The mothers among us have in very clear with the
:08:56. > :08:59.other employees that if they have things they need to per shoe that
:09:00. > :09:04.fall inside of normal work hours, they can prosciutto is also, so that
:09:05. > :09:07.we are not favouring one stage of life over another or penalising
:09:08. > :09:12.anybody in favour of another. -- pursue those also. Raising a child
:09:13. > :09:17.in the US is incredibly difficult and costly. Just 12 cent of rye that
:09:18. > :09:20.sector companies offer paid maternity leave for their employees
:09:21. > :09:24.and the US is one of just three countries in the world not to have a
:09:25. > :09:32.paid rental leave law. There is hope silicon valley could be starting a
:09:33. > :09:35.trend that changes that. Moms Rising campaigns for maternity leave. There
:09:36. > :09:40.has been lots of momentum around tech companies for increasing
:09:41. > :09:43.maternity leave, and in some cases family leave and medical leave as
:09:44. > :09:46.well. It shows that it makes good business sense. These companies
:09:47. > :09:50.would not doing it if it was not good to their bottom lines. That is
:09:51. > :09:56.good for the economy and very good for the individual families and
:09:57. > :09:58.employees. One of those technology companies is GoDaddy, the world's
:09:59. > :10:03.largest seller of internet domain names. The company has faced
:10:04. > :10:07.criticism in the past for being an overly macho workplace, which is
:10:08. > :10:11.prevalent in Silicon Valley. Like lots of other tech companies, we
:10:12. > :10:14.have similar issues. We are trying to resolve those and continue to
:10:15. > :10:18.build an awesome culture where people can do the best work of their
:10:19. > :10:21.lives. Anybody who is a new parent can get 12 weeks off, paid, to go
:10:22. > :10:25.and welcome their new family member. The birthing mother gets an
:10:26. > :10:29.additional six weeks she is able to recover as well physically. Silicon
:10:30. > :10:33.Valley is perhaps best placed to set the example, given the fierce
:10:34. > :10:38.competition for top talent. Progress requires people at the top of the
:10:39. > :10:47.companies to value both successful careers and happy families. I am
:10:48. > :10:54.sure you have a few on the stock get in touch with me on Twitter, and use
