The company now expects to make between $8.10 and $8.30 per share, up from its previous guidance of between $7.90 and $8.10 per share.
Boeing valued its order backlog at a record $490bn at the end of the third quarter, up from $440bn at the start of the quarter.
In the third quarter it made $1.36bn, up 17.6% on the previous year.
"With three solid quarters behind us and confidence in our ongoing performance, we are increasing our earnings per share outlook for 2014," said Boeing chief executive Jim McNerney.
Boeing booked 501 orders in the third quarter, with 100 of those coming from Ryanair when it signed an order for fuel-efficient 737 MAX 200 aircraft.
Demand for the 737 jet is so strong that Boeing is raising production from 42 per month to 52 per month in 2018.
However, the profit margin on commercial jets fell to 11.2% in the third quarter, from 11.6% in the same period in the previous year.
Boeing said the fall was because it delivered more 787 and 747 jets in the quarter, which are less profitable than other aircraft.
Revenue at its military aircraft business rose 3% to $3.5bn, helped by increased deliveries of the P-8 reconnaissance jet.

Boeing has raised its profit forecast for this year and says it has a record backlog of orders.

Flames were seen shooting into the air after the blaze started at Recycling Lives on the Redscar estate.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue said it was "a huge fire" and that it had 15 fire engines tackling the blaze in Longridge Road, with crews coming from neighbouring towns including Blackburn.
Emergency services were called to the estate shortly after 21:30 BST.
BBC reporter Steve Saul said roads in the area had been closed and 80 firefighters were at the scene.
The fire service said on Twitter: "The cause of the fire is unknown and firefighters will continue to work into the daytime on Friday to put the fire out."

The strike, which starts on Wednesday, was called after talks between national operator Deutsche Bahn and the GDL union broke down on Monday.
GDL wants a 5% pay rise for 20,000 drivers and a shorter working week.
If it goes ahead, it will be the sixth round of industrial action to hit Deutsche Bahn since September.
Millions of passengers were hit during a 50-hour strike in October over the dispute.
In a statement, GDL said the strike would take place from 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday for freight trains and from 02:00 on Thursday for passenger trains. It would not end until 04:00 on Monday.
A major sticking point in negotiations was the GDL union's demand to negotiate on behalf of other train staff, including conductors and restaurant staff.
According to the Associated Press, Deutsche Bahn said it had offered a raise of 5% over 30 months to the drivers but would not accept pay deals for other employees.
But GDL chairman Claus Weselsky said in a statement that the union's "fundamental right" to negotiate on behalf of its members was "in danger and with it the function of unions as such".
The strikes threaten to bring travel chaos to the capital Berlin and the whole of Germany as it prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall at the weekend.
The train drivers' previous strike hit about two-thirds of the rail network.
Germany's government is expected to produce a draft law later this year aimed at stopping small numbers of employees paralysing large parts of the country's infrastructure through strike action.
|
The train drivers' union in Germany has announced a four-day walk-out over pay, which reports say will be the country's longest ever rail strike.

As punishment for a 3-3 draw against Everton's under-23 side, which he labelled "unacceptable", players were told to come in for training on their day off.
"It would have cost them two days off if they had lost the game." Coleman told BBC Radio Lancashire, following the draw at the Crown Ground.
"They are not showing the appetite I want to see. We want to be successful this season and you're not going to be a success when you concede three goals, for a start."
Everton under-23s are defending champions of the reserve league, known as 'Premier League 2', beating academy sides from the likes of Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United last season.
But Accrington's inability to beat them in what was supposed to be a friendly encounter to prepare for the upcoming season did not impress Colman, who does not seem to entertain the notion that pre-season results mean very little.
"I don't think there's ever a good time to make mistakes," the 54-year-old said. "You can say it's less damaging because there's no points at stake but you've got to start winning games."
Coleman rejoined Accy in 2014 and guided them to a 13th-place finish last season, just five points short of a play off spot.
He previously managed Stanley for 12-and-a-half years between 1999 and 2012, and led the club from the Northern Premier League First Division to the Football League in 2006.
Accrington are next in pre-season action against Championship club Preston North End on Wednesday and Coleman expects to see an improvement.
"There's a lot of work to be done on the training ground and the players have been left with no uncertain terms," he added.

Never let Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman hear you say that pre-season matches are meaningless.

Mrs O'Neill said she had spoken to mothers about the issue.
She said she would bring forward "specific legislation" as soon as possible.
The Department of Health said the new laws would work to increase "awareness and acceptability" of breastfeeding, and improve breastfeeding rates, which are the lowest in the UK.
Currently, breastfeeding mothers in Northern Ireland are protected by sex discrimination laws that prohibit anyone from treating a woman unfavourably because she is breastfeeding.
However, Scottish law is tougher, making it an offence to deliberately prevent or stop a person from feeding milk to a child in their charge in a public place or licensed premises.
Liz Skelcher, who was verbally abused for breastfeeding in a Belfast restaurant, said any legislation "could only be a good thing".
"This is really positive news," she said.
"If the government especially gets behind breastfeeding it sends an unapologetic message.
"As a new mum there is so much insecurity, but feeling uncomfortable about getting your breasts out to feed your baby should not be one of them."
Mrs O'Neill said: "The details of this legislation will be consulted upon as soon as practicable and I hope to introduce this to the assembly at the earliest possible date."
According to the Department of Health, breastfeeding rates in Northern Ireland have remained static over the past number of years.
Mothers in Northern Ireland, who choose to breastfeed, also do so for a shorter period than breastfeeding mothers elsewhere in the UK.
"The reasons why women choose not to breastfeed, or stop breastfeeding, are varied and complex," Mrs O'Neill added.
|
Health Minister Michelle O'Neill has promised legislation to protect mothers who breastfeed in public.

Christi and Bobby Shepherd, of Horbury, near Wakefield, were unlawfully killed by fumes from a faulty boiler in a Thomas Cook bungalow in 2006.
Wakefield MP Mary Creagh has secured a debate on Tuesday and plans to set out how the family were failed by the firm.
She called for a Europe-wide campaign to improve carbon monoxide safety.
"As British families get ready for their summer holidays, they want to know they will come home safely," Mrs Creagh said.
She is "pressing" Thomas Cook and the UK government to lead a safety campaign.
"Having worked with the family for the past five years, their dearest wish is that no other family suffers a similar tragedy," she said.
The Labour MP met Thomas Cook's new chief executive, Peter Fankhauser, on Tuesday ahead of the debate.
Thomas Cook was criticised for its treatment of the family after the deaths of Christi, seven, and Bobby, six.
It accepted nearly £3m in compensation for legal expenses and lost revenue.
Later the firm apologised to the family and gave £1.5m to children's charity Unicef.
Former chief executive Harriet Green was awarded a shares bonus worth about £5.7m, but said she would donate a third to charities chosen in consultation with the children's parents.
Justin King, former Sainsbury's boss, will lead an independent review into Thomas Cook's health and safety and crisis management practices.
In May, it was announced that the bungalow at the Louis Corcyra Beach Hotel would be demolished.

The supermarket said it was "urgently investigating" problems encountered by at least 20 customers at its store at Branksome, Poole.
Customers have complained of damage running into thousands of pounds being done to their vehicles.
Tesco said a first round of tests on fuel sold in Poole had been inconclusive.
The supermarket said more samples had been taken for testing and told customers to continue to take receipts to the store where fuel was bought.
Jonathan Waddington-Jones said his Ford car broke down when being driven to Weymouth by his wife after she had bought diesel at the store.
He said the breakdown had caused a "great deal of inconvenience" to his family.
Robbie Studwick from Bournemouth said he smelt a "plastic, toxic smell" from his exhaust after filling up on Thursday.
He has been told £5,000 of damage has been done to his Toyota and faces problems in running his wedding photography business.
Among customers complaining to Tesco on Twitter, @johnpenfold tweeted: "car is ruined after filling up at Branksome branch. I've no car with 3 kids"
@lincnew tweeted: "New Van ruined long journey big ££."
Tesco said anyone experiencing problems after buying diesel at the Branksome filling station in the last few days should contact the store.

Klopp joined Liverpool in October, initially agreeing a £15m deal to 2018 that has now been extended until 2022.
"His leadership will be critical to everything we hope to achieve," said Liverpool's owners.
Klopp took Liverpool to the League Cup and the Europa League finals last term.
The 49-year-old German had previously guided Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and the 2013 Champions League final.
"The ideas and plans he has for the football infrastructure excite us," added Liverpool's principal owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner and Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon.
"We believe it benefits the organisation to have Jurgen committed to Liverpool for a sustained period, to make sure he is here to oversee this development.
"When you have an individual of Jurgen's quality in the building it makes perfect sense to secure that person for the long term.
"To not do so would be irresponsible."
Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers with Liverpool 10th in the Premier League table.
They finished eighth and were beaten on penalties by Manchester City in the League Cup final before losing 3-1 to Sevilla in the Europa League final in Basel.
"We are very much at the beginning of our journey," said Klopp.
"I am the first to recognise that with this great commitment comes a great responsibility.
"There is much to do and much to achieve and we look to do this by being the most completely together group anywhere in the world."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has signed a new six-year deal, with the club's owners saying it would have been "irresponsible" not to offer him a long-term contract.

The James Paget University Hospital at Gorleston said it was experiencing unprecedented levels of demand and announced a "major incident" on Monday.
This means that all beds are full and patients are waiting in A&E.
On Sunday 93 ambulances arrived at the hospital when the average number for that day is usually about 50.
Hospital chief executive Christine Allen said: "All beds at the hospital are full and all additional bed space available when extra capacity is needed is now in use.
"It is important that local people are aware of the current situation at the James Paget University Hospital.
"My message to them is: do not attend our A&E department unless your condition is life or limb-threatening."
The hospital has 396 beds and serves an area of about 230,000 people in east Norfolk and north Suffolk.

Chinese families said they would pray for the return of their loved ones, adding that they just wanted to know the truth of how the jet disappeared.
The authorities promised to carry on searching for the plane.
Crews have been scouring vast areas of ocean since the jet vanished on 8 March en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. So far, no trace has been found.
They believe the jet ended its journey in the Indian Ocean, hundreds of miles north-west of the Australian city of Perth.
A total of 239 passengers were on board, most of them Chinese.
Relatives of the missing gathered in Beijing on Sunday to pray for their loved ones.
Dai Suqin, whose sister was on board the plane, said there was "no where to turn to for help anymore".
"We still have not seen our family members, we are not sure about the information and have no idea what to do," she said.
"So we have to pray to Buddha, pray to the Goddess of Mercy for blessings. We have to place our hopes on this and pray for the heavens to help us."
A Malaysia Airlines official said it had been the "longest and most painful 100 days" in the company's history.
"We miss our colleagues and friends on board MH370 and we continue to hope and seek answers that will bring us closer to finding out what happened to MH370," said company chief Ahmad Jauhari.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was among the other officials expressing sympathy with the families on Sunday.
He tweeted: "On this hundredth day since MH370 went missing, remembering those on board and their families. Malaysia remains committed to the search effort."

Mickelson won five majors and 41 PGA Tour titles with Mackay - nicknamed 'Bones' - on his bag.
The 47-year-old said the separation was "mutual" and confirmed his brother, Tim, will take over from Mackay.
"Our decision is not based on a single incident. We just feel it's the right time for change. Bones is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated caddies in the world," said Mickelson.
"The next player to work with him will obviously be very lucky. My relationship and history with Bones far exceeds golf. He has been one of the most important and special people in my life since the day we met, and I will always be grateful for everything he has done for me."
Mickelson has earned in excess of $80m (£63m) in prize money since working with Mackay. He has won the Masters three times, the Open Championship and the US PGA, as well as finishing second or tied for second six times at golf's other major, the US Open.
Mackay was at Erin Hills last week to prepare for the US Open in the event Mickelson was able to take part in the tournament, which clashed with his daughter's graduation ceremony.
In a statement Mackay said: "When Phil hired me in 1992, I had one dream: to caddie in a Ryder Cup. Last year, at Hazeltine, Phil played in his 11th straight Ryder Cup. It was so cool to have a front-row seat.
"I wish Phil nothing but the best. His game is still at an elite level, and when he wins in the future (definitely the Masters), I will be among the first to congratulate him."

Home Retail Group said that it began discussions with Wesfarmers in September, with a firm offer resulting in November.
Wesfarmers owns Australia's biggest home improvement retailer, Bunnings, as well as the Coles supermarket chain.
Although the company has completed due diligence, talks were continuing.
Home Retail said that Wesfarmers was a "substantial and strong group with an ambitious plan" to develop Homebase and that the £340m cash price offered good value for shareholders.
John Walden, chief executive of Home Retail, said the sale would allow the company to focus on Argos with an improved financial position, which represented "an even greater opportunity for building long-term shareholder value".
Earlier this month, Sainsbury's said that Home Retail had rejected its bid to buy the Argos chain.
On Tuesday, the supermarket issued a 22-page presentation outlining why a takeover of the catalogue and online retailer was "strategically compelling".
Sainsbury's could close between 150 and 200 Argos stores and move them to a nearby supermarket, the BBC understands.
Many store leases are due to expire in the next couple of years and Sainsbury's has excess space in many of its stores.
Under the deal being proposed, Wesfarmers would buy the entire Homebase business, including all stores and distribution centres. Product brands such as Habitat would not be included, but licensed for use by Homebase for one year.
Shares in Home Retail, which updates the market on its Christmas trading on Thursday, closed up 4.1% at 147.7p before the Homebase announcement.
The stock has jumped by more than 50% since Home Retail's rejection of the Sainsbury's bid was revealed.
|
The owner of Homebase has said it is in advanced talks to sell the DIY chain to an Australian retailer, Wesfarmers, for £340m.

The surrealist filmmaker made the announcement on Twitter.
The US television network Showtime said last year that the series, based on a small-town murder in Twin Peaks, would return as a limited series in 2016, 25 years after its last airing.
But in April Mr Lynch said there was not enough money for him to take part.
Writing on Twitter at the time, he said he had not been given enough money "to do the script in the way I felt it needed to be done".
But on Friday he tweeted: "Dear Twitter Friends, the rumours are not what they seem ..... It is!!! Happening again. #TwinPeaks returns on @SHO-Network."
Showtime president David Nevins on Friday confirmed the news: "Totally worth the extra brewing time and the cup is even bigger than we expected," he said in a statement.
"David will direct the whole thing which will total more than the originally announced nine hours. Preproduction starts now!!"
Correspondents say that Mr Lynch's apparent about-turn has been celebrated by diehard fans - and by Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan, - who played FBI Agent Dale Cooper in the original series and is tipped to reprise his role.
"Welcome back again!! #TwinPeaks Special Agent Dale Cooper! on #Showtime #damnfinecoffee," Mr MacLachlan tweeted.
Mr Lynch, whose credits include Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, created the cult drama with Mark Frost in the early 1990s.
Revolving around the murder of teenage schoolgirl Laura Palmer, the show was a precursor of dense, cinematic TV shows like The Sopranos and The Wire.
It won three Golden Globe awards in 1991, including best TV series and best actor for Kyle MacLachlan.

The county council wants to introduce dog control orders in Llanelli, Burry Port, Cefn Sidan, Ferryside, Llansteffan and Pendine.
If successful the scheme could be extended to children's play areas, sports pitches, bowling greens and skateboard parks.
Public consultation will be carried out before any decisions are made.
The new dog control orders are planned to replace existing by-laws in Llansteffan and Cefn Sidan.
Jim Jones, the council executive board member for environmental and public protection, said: "We know there is a lot of public support for these orders in specific areas.
"However, it is important we try to balance the interests of dog owners who need to exercise their dogs, with the need for people - particularly children - to have access to safe dog-free areas.
"We are looking at carrying out a phased, common sense approach and we will soon be consulting with residents to get their views."
Failure to comply with the dog control orders could result in a fixed penalty notice for £75 or court prosecution where the maximum fine is £1,000.

Its forecast came as it reported "solid" trading in the final three months of 2016, with an 8.3% rise in passenger numbers to 17.4 million.
But stripping out the effects of the fall in the pound, its revenue per seat was down by 1.2% to £51.64 per seat.
Investors reacted badly to the mixed report, pushing the carrier's shares down 8.8%.
Easyjet's chief executive, Caroline McCall, said "Easyjet has delivered a solid first quarter [the final three months of 2016] with revenue, cost and passenger numbers in line with expectation. This is despite tough pricing and operating environment."
The pound has fallen by about 17% against the dollar since the Brexit vote in June last year. In November, Easyjet had estimated the weaker pound would cost it £90m in 2017.
Easyjet is in the process of establishing a separate presence on the European mainland, in readiness for when the UK leaves the EU.
That could mean the UK losing Europe's internal "open sky" arrangement.
Since 1994, any EU airline has been free to fly between any two points in Europe, something that enabled companies such as Easyjet and arch-rival Ryanair to grow to their present size.
Current EU flying rights might have to be renegotiated and the new company would ensure Easyjet could operate within the EU, rather than having to fly in and out of the UK on every route.
It said setting up a new European entity would cost it £10m
Easyjet, which is one of the biggest 100 in the UK, is planning to keep its London listing and Luton headquarters.
It has bases across 11 UK airports and flies more than 800 routes on its network across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Easyjet has said the lower pound will cut its profits by a larger-than-expected £105m this year.

Gatecrasher, on Broad Street, had its licence suspended after a knife attack in the club and an alleged fight with doormen on 31 October.
West Midlands Police called for the licence to be revoked, citing previous violent incidents.
The police case was not contested by the club's owner. Birmingham City Council's licensing sub-committee unanimously agreed to the revocation.
The future of the venue, which can hold 2,400 people, has not been confirmed by its owner.
A council statement said police officers had "absolutely no confidence" in the ability of current premises licence holder Simon Raine to operate the club.
"It was explained that Mr Raine had conceded that he must dispose himself on any interest in the premises, and that what was required was an entirely independent third party operator that had no connection with him," it said.
"In the event of any successful sale, it was acknowledged that the third party could apply to transfer the licence and seek to reach agreement for the continued operation of the premises licence."
Mr Raine said "a lack of trust on both sides" between Gatecrasher and West Midlands Police made the continued operation of the club unworkable, adding he hoped police investigations into the disorder would lead to further action.
"I have no intention of fighting with West Midlands Police or the city council," he said.
"A harmonious working relationship is required in order to operate successfully in the late-night economy, especially working with a venue of this size and stature in a multicultural city that Birmingham is."

The city's public works agency says it is testing a new urine-repellent paint in areas popular with people looking to relieve themselves.
Anyone choosing to use the treated walls as a toilet will see their urine "bounce back", according to a spokeswoman for the agency.
The agency's director got the idea after reading about the paint's use in a nightclub district in Germany.
Hamburg's IG St Pauli community group turned to the paint to cope with a problem brought by the 20 million tourists that visit the district every year.
In March, they told BBC Newsbeat that the paint seemed to be working and the problem was finally getting "the attention it deserves".
The paint, called Ultra-Ever Dry, creates a barrier of air in front of the surface that will "completely repel almost any liquid," according to its makers.
In a trial project, San Francisco authorities have painted nine walls in areas close to bars and in neighbourhoods with large homeless populations.
Signs posted on the walls, written in English, Chinese and Spanish, say: "Hold it! ... seek relief in an appropriate place".
"The idea is they will think twice next time about urinating in public," said Rachel Gordon, a spokeswoman for the city's Public Works Department.
"We've gotten many, many calls from people who wanted it done in their alley or on their buildings," Gordon said.
She said the cost of painting the walls is much lower than sending out workers to clean areas saturated with urine.
More public toilets were also planned across the city, she added.

Be warned: If you pee on a wall in San Francisco it may come straight back.

Residents of the village, in Hunan province, were reportedly angry about the handling of a young woman's death last month.
Officials say the death was caused by pesticide poisoning, but relatives have accused her husband of involvement.
Her relatives beat the husband and took local officials hostage when they attempted to intervene.
In a statement reported by state media, the police said that the trouble began on Thursday after the family displayed the woman's corpse in her mother-in-law's house.
When police attempted to defuse the situation they were attacked and forced to kneel before the deceased woman, the statement adds.
Hundreds of villagers joined the bereaved relatives the next day to protest and attack the local police station.
The police say that hundreds of officers were called in to restore order.

The £5 note - the first polymer note the bank has produced - was designed by 13-year-old Dundee schoolgirl Kayla Robson.
The note will be a limited edition, with circulation limited to 50 notes to make it popular with collectors and raise more money for the charity.
Pudsey Bear makes a guest appearance on the note, raising a Saltire flag.
The serial numbers on the notes will also be unique, with the first 40 notes using the code PUDSEY01 to PUDSEY40, while the remaining ten will be personalised to buyers.
The bank said given the rarity of the notes it is likely they could sell for hundreds of pounds each when they go under the hammer at Spink's in December.
Annette Barnes, Bank of Scotland's retail managing director, said: "This new five pound note is brighter and bolder than most other banknotes in circulation and really brings to life what BBC Children in Need means to so many people.
"Kayla did a fantastic job with her design and I am delighted to see how we have been able to incorporate it into our first polymer banknote."

He was also criticised by some sections of the media following Saturday's 4-0 defeat by local rivals Atletico Madrid.
"He can handle that no problem at all," said Coleman.
"I'm not worried about him. If you go to Madrid for that amount of money and you know that the spotlight is on you then you can either handle it or you can't handle it."
Bale has been jeered by some Real supporters in the past few weeks for not passing the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo
'Disaster', 'irrelevant' and 'listless' were some of the words the Spanish media used to describe his performance in the European champions' worst derby defeat since a 5-0 loss in 1947.
"In [Bale's] first season they won the Champions League, which was their holy grail - and he was a huge part of that campaign," said Coleman.
"It's his turn now to get some criticism.
"It won't bother him. He'll be fine. He'll get through it."
Coleman is also confident the criticism will not affect his star man before Wales' key Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel in March.
Wales remain unbeaten and second in Group B, one point behind leaders Israel.
The Wales manager believes that the international break next month will work in Bale's favour.
"He can come away with us and forget about [the criticism] and block it out," said Coleman.
"He'll be focused on [European qualification] when he'll be with us. No doubt about it."

Wales manager Chris Coleman says Real Madrid's Welsh winger Gareth Bale can handle the "unfair" criticism he is getting.

The Swedish firm had revenues of more than 2.9bn euros (£2.6bn) last year, up more than 50% compared with 2015.
However, operating losses rose at nearly the same pace to 349.4m euros (£305.7m).
Spotify is considering going public and listing on the stock market, so its latest figures will be under scrutiny.
"We believe we will generate substantial revenue as our reach expands and that, at scale, our margins will improve," the firm said.
"We will therefore continue to invest relentlessly in our product and marketing initiatives to accelerate reach."
The clock is ticking for Spotify
Spotify may bypass IPO and list directly on stock market
Spotify reported a net loss of 539.2m euros (£471.6m), more than double the figure for 2015.
Nevertheless the number of people listening to music on the platform continues to rise rapidly.
Paying subscribers to its premium service, which does not have advertising, rose by 20 million to 48 million.
Apple Music, a key competitor, now has 27 million subscribers, almost double the number 12 months ago. Unlike Spotify it does not offer a free tier.
More than 30 million tracks are available on Spotify, which has signed deals committing it to to pay a minimum of 2bn euros in royalties to record companies over the next two years.
Spotify raised more than $1bn from investors last year which it said would give it flexibility to expand regardless of the state of the stock market.
Some of the terms are tied to the IPO, putting pressure on the company to go public.
|
Spotify now has more than 140 million active monthly users, but the music streaming firm is still deeply in the red.

Games hosted by Raith Rovers, Cowdenbeath, Berwick Rangers and Stirling Albion also failed Saturday morning pitch inspections.
The match at Caledonian Stadium, where Hearts were due to be visitors, was called off before 08:00.
Dundee United's game at Firhill followed three hours later.
But the Championship game between Dumbarton and Livingston and the League Two fixtures between East Fife and Clyde and East Stirlingshire against Arbroath go ahead following successful inspections.
Caley Thistle, whose game was first to be postponed, stated that the prospect of further poor weather also contributed to the decision.
Queen of the South were due to be visitors at Raith Rovers' Stark's Park in the Championship.
Forfar Athletic were the visitors at Cowdenbeath in League One, with Ayr United v Stenhousemuir also off in that division.
Queen's Park were travelling to Berwick, while Montrose were Stirling Albion's visitors.

The Warriors refused to attend a send-off dinner on Friday night in Harare, with the country's acting President Emmerson Mnangagwa present at the function.
Players are demanding payment of monies owed from the qualifiers, and they want a $5000 appearance fee for each game that they play at the Nations Cup finals in Gabon.
The Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) is reportedly offering $2500 per game.
The team was due to depart for Cameroon in the early hours of Saturday, with a friendly against the Indomitable Lions scheduled for Tuesday, but the players are still in Harare.
Warriors captain Willard Katsande told Star FM Zimbabwe that despite the dispute, the team is not considering boycotting the tournament.
"Obviously we are going to play, but it's a matter of discussing, as we deserve better," he said.
"We're not asking for much, we know what want as a team, we submitted our proposal long back but nobody listened to us."
Zimbabwe have already had a troubled build-up to their Nations Cup preparations following a row over accommodation issues.
The Warriors begin their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a game against Algeria on 15 January in Franceville.

The Zimbabwe national team failed to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday morning as a stand-off over finances worsened.

Historic Pools of Britain wants indoor and outdoor pools to be recognised for their roles in local communities.
It is headed by Gill Wright who has led the campaign for 12 years to save Victoria Baths in Manchester.
"We aim to give a national voice to historic pools all over Britain and build a picture of the state of the nation's swimming heritage," she said.
In December, more than 95% of 3,330 people who answered a consultation request backed reopening the Broomhill open-air swimming pool in Ipswich.
The 50m pool with diving boards and a children's pool opened in 1938, but was closed by owners Ipswich Borough Council amid claims it was too expensive.
In east London, Haggerston Baths, which has been boarded up for 15 years and is among the 10 most-threatened Victorian buildings, was put up for sale in June by Hackney Council.
The campaign will document the historic swimming pool buildings in the UK as no central database or archives exist.
It also wants to engage in joint campaigning and lobbying, funding applications for threatened pools.
Ms Wright was at the forefront of the campaign to save Victoria Baths in Manchester which won £3.4m in the BBC TV's Restoration series in 2003.
She said the baths still needed more money to complete the restoration plans.

A new campaign has been set up to protect historic swimming baths across the country.

Ms Barnes was elected as an independent candidate in 2012 but has been a controversial figure during her tenure.
A report last year found she may not have been properly insured when she was in a car crash and she was criticised for taking part in a documentary.
In a statement on her website, Ms Barnes said: "I am content that I have delivered what I said I would."
She said she had made several promises when elected, all of which she had kept, including ensuring victims and witnesses came first and preventing the politicisation of the PCC role.
"I have also raised the profile of police and crime commissioners - not always in the way that I intended," she said.
Ms Barnes also noted her proudest achievements were the establishment of a dedicated sexual assault referral centre in Maidstone and the crime victim support centre in Ashford.
The former Kent Police Authority chairwoman said she had now spent more than 15 years in police accountability and governance.
"Fifteen years service in this intense and all-consuming role is probably long enough," she said, adding that Kent Police was in "a very strong and sustainable position for the future".
Ms Barnes said it would be "business as usual" until her term of office finished on 11 May.

The authority's chief executive, Phil Halsall, was suspended in August on full pay pending the outcome of a disciplinary investigation.
It followed an independent review of the tender process for a contract to run the council's fleet services.
Tim Kerr QC, a local government law specialist, is overseeing the probe.
He is examining council documents and interviewing members of staff and councillors.
Mr Halsall has denied any wrongdoing in the tendering process of the fleet contract.
The deal to run the council's fleet services was agreed in April by the former Conservative administration.
It was awarded to BT and One Connect Ltd, a partnership between BT and the council.
However, the decision to award the contract to BT in April was called in by county councillors and it was put on hold and the council's in-house provider continued to provide the services.
The contract was revoked on 15 August with immediate effect by the current leader of Lancashire County Council Jennifer Mein.

The 53-year-old will replace David McNally, who resigned in May when the Canaries were on the verge of relegation to the Championship.
Moxey will formally take up the position when he has helped oversee the transition of ownership at Wolves.
"He has the attributes and skills to embrace the immediate challenge of getting back to the Premier League," Norwich chairman Ed Balls said.
Moxey had general manager roles at Rangers and Partick Thistle before taking over as chief executive of Stoke in 1995.
He joined Wolves in 2000 and in 16 years has twice overseen spells in the Premier League in 2003-04 and from 2009 to 2012.
Balls added: "Jez, with his wealth of football experience and business acumen, was the standout candidate from an extremely strong shortlist.
"Meanwhile, until Jez formally takes up his duties with us, Steve Stone will continue as interim chief executive.
"The board would like to place on record our sincere gratitude for the excellent job Steve has done leading the club through this period of transition."

The firm has been waiting since July for approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test drones near Seattle, reports Reuters.
Amazon announced proposals for a drone delivery service called Amazon Prime Air in December 2013.
The FAA has been contacted by the BBC for comment.
"Without approval of our testing in the United States, we will be forced to continue expanding our Prime Air R&D footprint abroad," wrote Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president of global public policy, in a letter to the FAA.
Amazon wants to use small drones to deliver packages up to 2.3kg (5lb) in weight.
The service would enable customers to receive a purchase within 30 minutes of placing an order.
Six drone operators were approved by the US to carry out commercial flight tests at around the same time as Prime Air was announced but Amazon was not among them.
Successful applicants included the University of Alaska, Griffiss International Airport in New York and North Dakota's Department of Commerce.
The FAA said it considered "geography, climate, location of ground infrastructure, research needs, airspace use, safety, aviation experience and risk" in selecting the operators.
Amazon already has a drone R&D lab in Cambridge in the UK.
Google and DHL are also exploring the use of drones as couriers.
During the summer, Google demonstrated its service using a fixed-wing craft and in September DHL started a regular drone-delivery service to an island in the North Sea.

Amazon has said it may conduct more of its drone research outside the US because of strict regulation of the unmanned aircraft.

It comes after a public appeal to find a donor for the BBC journalist, who has acute myeloid leukaemia and is dependant on a transplant to survive.
She posted on Twitter to say the donor was a "good match" and she would return to hospital in two weeks to undergo the transplant procedure.
"Thanks so much to all donors and all tweeted good wishes," she wrote.
Ms Lloyd-Roberts, who has also worked for ITN, has reported on events in Syria, Burma and North Korea among many others, and has campaigned for human rights.
The BBC held an open day last month for anyone aged 16-30 to join the register of the blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan Trust.
Since being diagnosed more than four months ago, Ms Lloyd-Roberts has undergone two rounds of chemotherapy at University College Hospital in London, and is now in remission.
She had expected a stem-cell transplant to take place in May, but the would-be donor failed medical tests and the operation was cancelled.
The Anthony Nolan Trust says that only one in about 1,200 people on the register ends up donating in any given year because matches are rare.

Journalist Sue Lloyd-Roberts, who has an aggressive form of leukaemia, has said she has found a stem-cell donor.

Rothera Research Station will be home to the exploration ship RRS Sir David Attenborough. An online public vote had favoured the name Boaty McBoatface.
Cambridge-based British Antarctic Survey will use the money to build a new wharf, storage and living quarters.
Its director of operations Tim Stockings said it was "an exciting moment for polar science".
Rothera is a centre for biological research and a hub for supporting deep-field and air operations.
It supports a range of British university and international science programmes, including the Dirck Gerritsz laboratory operated by the Netherlands.
The Department for Business and Science said the upgrade would allow teams to conduct more ambitious expeditions to untapped areas of the Antarctic and the Arctic.
Science minister Jo Johnson said the investment would help ensure "our world-class research sector has the tools it needs to thrive on a global stage".
Construction company BAM has been appointed to build the facilities, which can only be done during the four month-long Antarctic summers.
The money will also fund the modernisation of buildings and facilities at British Antarctic Survey stations in Signy in the South Orkney Islands and at Bird Island and King Edward Point, both in South Georgia.
The whole project is expected to take between seven and 10 years.

The UK's largest Antarctic research station is to receive a £100m upgrade funded by the government.

The company, bought from Tata by investment fund Greybull, said it was on track to deliver sustainable growth.
The Scunthorpe-based business said deals had been struck to supply steel for the construction of Hinkley Point nuclear power station and rails for the Algerian and Italian train networks.
A 3% pay sacrifice made by staff after the sale is planned to be returned.
Tata announced the sale of its plant in April, with the move safeguarding more than 4,000 jobs.
For the deal to be sealed, workers were asked to accept a pay cut and less generous pension arrangements.
Roland Junck, British Steel's executive chairman, said: "I'm pleased to report that after our first seven months of trading, we are building on our promising start to life as British Steel.
"We're already making good progress with significant contract awards from both new and existing customers across the globe."
The return of the 3% salary sacrifice is expected to be implemented for employees in June.
British Steel also has sites in Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Teesside.

Somerset remain third in the table, one point behind second-placed Yorkshire and five behind leaders Middlesex - who will go a further 16 clear if they win their ongoing game with Lancashire.
Yorkshire were bowled out for 286 at Headingley, despite Jake Lehmann's 116.
Jack Leach took 6-64 before Somerset easily reached their target of 42.
Openers Marcus Trescothick (37 not out) and Tom Abell knocked off the required runs in 10.3 overs to complete a 23-point win.
Somerset, who have never been county champions before, host relegated Nottinghamshire in their last game starting on 20 September.
Their focus before then will be on Middlesex who, if they win at Old Trafford, would need only four points from their final match against Yorkshire at Lord's to clinch the title.
The visitors' seamers had skittled Yorkshire for 145 on day one at Headingley, but it was left-arm spinner Leach who took a prominent role in the champions' downfall on day three.
They were held up by Australian left-hander Lehmann, who shared a 101-run eighth-wicket stand with Liam Plunkett (73) to ensure Somerset would bat again.
But Yorkshire's chances of saving the game rapidly deteriorated once Leach had trapped Lehmann lbw with the first ball of a new spell.
The 25-year-old has taken 58 Championship wickets this season, with 33 of those coming in Somerset's last five fixtures, and is the second-leading wicket-taker in Division One behind Warwickshire off-spinner Jeetan Patel.

Somerset kept their Championship title hopes alive as they beat rivals Yorkshire by 10 wickets in their penultimate match of the season.

Those who fail to meet the deadline for online returns risk incurring a £100 fine.
A record 11 million people are required by their tax arrangements to submit a return.
Most now do so online and as that can be done from a computer at home, many leave it until the last moment.
Last year 700,000 missed the deadline, though Revenue and Customs accepted some excuses - such as a death in the family, serious illness or flooding.
On deadline day last year, 557,000 people rushed to file in time.
Recent analysis by HMRC suggested that women were more likely to submit their tax returns on time than men.
For every 10,000 tax returns received last year from men, 394 were after the relevant deadlines, compared with 358 late returns from every 10,000 submitted by women.
Interest is charged on any tax paid late and those who still have not submitted the form by May face additional penalties fines of £10 a day.
It is already too late to send in paper tax returns for the 2013-14 tax year as that deadline passed on 31 October.
Those who have failed to register for online submissions have also missed the boat.
Help on filing a tax return is available from the gov.uk website or from the self-assessment helpline on 0300 200 3310. Customers with general queries can also tweet the @HMRCcustomers Twitter feed.

A million taxpayers who need to submit a self-assessment tax return must do so by midnight on Saturday.

One of the organisers, Kholofelo Masha, said men had to take collective responsibility for the increase in beatings, sex attacks and killings.
South Africa has one of the highest rates of sexual violence in the world.
Police figures showed that 64,000 cases were reported last year.
A series of grisly murders of women and children has hit the headlines this year and President Jacob Zuma has described the situation as a crisis.
The protesters on Saturday marched behind a woman symbolically dressed from head to toe in white. Some carried placards bearing the names of women killed by their partners.
"The time to take collective responsibility for our shameful action is now," said Mr Masha, who described himself as "a loving dad, brother and uncle."
He said South African men had been quiet on the issue for too long.
"You hear a lady screaming next door, you decide to sleep when you know there is a problem. No man should beat a woman or rape a woman while you're watching".
On Thursday, President Zuma visited the parents of a three-year-old girl who was raped and killed.
Courtney Pieters went missing from her home in Cape Town on 4 May and her body was found more than a week later in a shallow grave.
"We, as the citizens of this country, must say enough is enough," Mr Zuma said at the time. "This is one of the saddest incidents I've come across. It's a crisis in the country, the manner in which women and children are being killed."
The governing African National Congress party has branded the wave of violence "senseless and barbaric", while the opposition Democratic Alliance has called for a nationwide debate on the issue.

California-based Electronics for Imaging paid the workers $1.21 (75p) per hour. They worked 122 hours in a week without overtime pay.
The company said it "unintentionally overlooked" US laws on wages and overtime. California's minimum wage at the time was $8 per hour.
Thousands of Indians work in Silicon Valley and many own start-ups there.
Reports say that Electronics for Imaging, a printing technology firm, has to pay more than $43,000 (£26,798) in back wages and penalties after labour regulators discovered the violations.
The eight workers were brought to the US on a special project, at the time when they helped the company move its headquarters from Foster City to Fremont.
Reports say the firm paid the Indian workers the same wages they received in their normal jobs in the Indian city of Bangalore - and continued to pay them in rupees.
US laws require foreign workers to be paid at least the minimum wage, with overtime for working more than 40 hours a week.
"This is worse than anything that I ever saw in any of those Los Angeles sweatshops," Michael Eastwood, assistant district director of Department of Labour, told the Associated Press news agency.

A lifeboat from Lerwick and the Coastguard helicopter were sent to help the Lerwick-registered Ocean Way, which reported taking on water at 06:50.
As rescuers arrived the fishermen jumped into the sea, less than a minute before the vessel sunk.
The crew were pulled one by one aboard the lifeboat before being taken back ashore to Lerwick.
Alan Tarby, the coxswain of the Lerwick lifeboat, described the rescue. "Just as we got along, the boat started to sink and the boys all jumped off the boat into the water alongside the lifeboat and we sort of fished them into the boat and hoisted them aboard.
"The final moments of the boat were of it sticking out the water. It slid into the water so quickly. It went down within seconds - it was less than a minute from when they decided to jump to when she disappeared."
Mark Rodaway, commander for the UK Coastguard, said: 'This was a difficult rescue in awful weather."
He added: "The lifeboat was finding it hard to get alongside. But I'm pleased to say that all five fishermen were rescued."

The Scot, 28, led Britain to their first Davis Cup triumph for 79 years in 2015, and their title defence continues with a trip to Belgrade in July.
However, the tie will be played on clay just five days after the Wimbledon final.
"The plan is to play but it is going to be difficult," Murray said.
"I need to play it a little bit by ear, as well, because I just don't know how the body is going to respond."
The Davis Cup quarter-final could pit Murray against Novak Djokovic, but it is not yet clear whether the world number one will play in the tie.
Murray's schedule will see him playing on clay in the build-up to next month's French Open before switching to grass at Queen's Club and Wimbledon.
The Briton is also focused on defending his Olympic gold medal in Brazil in August, with that tournament to be played on hard courts.
"These next couple of months are going to be extremely difficult," he told BBC Sport as he launched his own charity tennis event, which will take place in Glasgow in September.
"Changing surfaces - almost on a weekly basis - does increase the chance of injury significantly: not many players would go from playing a grass court tournament one week straight onto the clay the following week with only a couple of days preparation time.
"So I need to make sure my body is good and healthy through the summer because it's going to be a long summer with the Olympics, many long flights, change of surfaces, different continents and different conditions - so I just now need to respect how my body feels as well."

Andy Murray says he will play in Great Britain's Davis Cup quarter-final against Serbia in July - if his body allows him.

On 4 March, 1915, 246 volunteers from the island's militia marched from the barracks at Les Beaucamps to St Peter Port Harbour.
About 15,000 islanders, a third of the population, waved them off as they left to join the Royal Irish Regiment.
Earlier, hundreds of people lined the streets as they marched to the harbour.
Bailiff Sir Richard Collas said: "This parade offers a poignant reminder that many of the island's young men marched away to defend their country in 1915."
The parade left Les Beaucamps High School, the former site of the militia barracks, at 09:15 GMT and followed the route taken 100 years earlier - arriving at the harbour at about 10:30.
Three personnel from the Irish Defence Force and a small contingent from the Guernsey Military History Company were also involved in the march.

The depiction of Leasowe Man, named after the Merseyside town where he was found in 1864, is on show at the Museum of Liverpool.
It said the image "raises lots of questions... about his life".
Curator Liz Stewart said they were unable to ascertain his hair and eye colours but it was "most likely" he had the tones shown in the picture.
The image of "Merseyside's oldest skeleton" was created by researchers at Liverpool John Moores University's Face Lab, which conducts archaeological and forensic work.
Radiocarbon dating has previously found that the skeleton, now on display at the Natural History Museum in London, is between 1,600 and 1,900 years old.

Analysis also shows that Leasowe Man was about 40 years old at the time of his death, and was about 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall.
His bones "showed signs of strong muscle attachments, suggesting he was physically active during his life," Ms Stewart said.
Despite Leasowe's location on the Merseyside coast, she said chemical analysis revealed that he "didn't eat very much fish, which is a little surprising for someone found so close to the sea"

Lee Parker, 33 inflicted "terrible" injuries on Aya Parker after taking drugs, Bristol Crown Court was told.
Aya's skull was fractured in several places and paramedics were unable to revive her, the court heard.
Sentencing Parker, of Britton Gardens, Kingswood, Bristol, Mr Justice Phillips said he was in a "violent rage... causing catastrophic head injuries".
"Injuries like that are rarely seen in children as young as Aya," he told Phillips, who was ordered to serve a minimum term of 15 years and two months.
"This wasn't premeditated, but a rage. Her injuries show you intended to kill her, influenced by drink and drugs.
"You have never provided an explanation as to why you carried out these terrible things to your own child.
"The only explanation for the extreme and violent attack is that you had lost your temper having drunk heavily and had taken cocaine and cannabis."
A post-mortem examination revealed Aya died from blunt force trauma injuries to the head, consistent with being struck against something more than once, on Christmas Day last year.
Following sentencing, Det Ch Insp Gary Haskins said Parker had changed his plea to guilty "at the 11th hour".
"As Aya's father Lee Parker was expected to love and protect her at all costs," Mr Haskins said.
"Instead, for reasons we will never know, he robbed her of the life which lay ahead of her and caused unimaginable pain to those who loved her.
"Aya was just six months old and was about to enjoy her first Christmas yet because of the actions of her father it was sadly her last.
In a written statement, read in mitigation, Parker said he hoped the guilty verdict "will help Aya's family to come to terms with what's happened".

Members will be asked to agree to the development of a business and financial plan up to 2019, on Monday.
The report said the council had a net budget of about £350m next year.
But, it said the savings would be "a new scale of challenge" that could not be met without direct impact on front-line services.
Under "next steps", the report said "areas of search for savings" were in adult social care, children's services, the capital programme, communications, commissioning of community-based services such as libraries and children's centres, corporate financing arrangements, and highways contracts.
The Conservative-run council said it had already made deep efficiency savings, including a 25% reduction in senior management.
Councillor David Elkin, deputy leader and lead member for resources, said some services would change or be reduced and others would stop altogether.
He said: "We'll look for imaginative ways of working with communities and partners if they have ideas for doing things differently - but the truth is that services in East Sussex will look very different at the end of this process."
Cabinet members have been asked to agree that chief officers will develop plans over the summer and provide detailed proposals in October.
The Conservatives have minority control of the council with 20 of the 49 seats. The Liberal Democrats are the next biggest party with 10 seats.

Up to £90m in savings will have to be made by East Sussex County Council in the next three years, a report to the authority's cabinet has said.

Englishman Lewis, 25, was 12 under par after 13 holes in Farso, but finished with a nine-under-par 62, equalling the course record.
"Maybe I thought too much or tried too hard, hence the finish," said Lewis.
He is tied with Joakim Lagergren and Thomas Pieters, who partnered Europe's Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke.
Belgian Pieters is a contention to earn one of the three wildcards in the European team, which will be announced next week.
"I did all I could in front of Darren. He has a lot on his mind other than golf and we will just have to wait and see," he said.

"The re-signing process was done very quickly as there was never any doubt in my mind to go anywhere else," the scrum-half told the club website.
"Harlequins is a club that I love; I'm very proud and honoured to play for and captain the team."
The club have not disclosed the length of Care's new deal at the Twickenham Stoop.

Gayus Tambunan was found guilty on four counts of corruption - including bribing his way out of bribery charges.
The case has gripped the nation as during the trial, the defendant managed to bribe his way out of jail dozens of times, including for overseas trips.
It has opened a window on government corruption, and damaged the president's reputation as an anti-graft reformer.
During the trial, Tambunan confessed to having helped powerful firms evade taxes, paying prosecutors and police officials, and relieving his stress by leaving his jail cell to watch an international tennis tournament in Bali.
He also admitted to having flown to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Macau using a forged passport while supposedly in detention.
In his attempt to avoid a heavy sentence, Tambunan offered to be made a special advisor to the nation's graft busters to help them catch not only the "small fish, but also the sharks and the whales" in the corrupt system.
He promised Indonesia would be "clean" within two years.
The judges did not consider this offer a factor, but did give him a lighter sentence than the 20 years demanded by prosecutors.
The case has embarrassed Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who came to power on an anti-corruption platform.

Real are top of La Liga, one point ahead of second-placed Barcelona with two matches in hand.
Luis Enrique's side beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 on Saturday, with Paco Alcacer scoring his first league goal since his move from Valencia last August.
The Galicia region of north-west Spain, of which Vigo is a part, has been hit by winds of up to 85mph in recent days, causing the postponement of Friday's La Liga match between Deportivo La Coruna and Real Betis.
However, the decision to call off Celta Vigo's match has upset Alaves, their Copa del Rey semi-final opponents.
Last season's Segunda Division champions have released a statement asking for their semi-final second leg against Celta on Wednesday to be postponed. The clubs drew the first game 0-0.
They claim Celta will have an unfair advantage with the extra rest, with Alaves away to Sporting Gijon on Sunday.

The tapes formed the basis of a 2009 decision by prosecutors to drop the charges against Mr Zuma.
Ms Zille won a five-year legal battle to obtain the tapes to assess whether prosecutors had acted correctly.
Mr Zuma was accused of taking bribes in a multi-million dollar arms deal.
He denied the charges, insisting he was the victim of a "political conspiracy" hatched by his opponents in the governing African National Congress (ANC) to prevent him from becoming president.
He has said he welcomes the release of the tapes.
Ms Zille walked out of the High Court in the capital, Pretoria, with a "tamper evident security bag" containing transcripts of recordings and a memory stick.
"South Africa's democracy depends on this case. No-one is above the law," she told her supporters.
The handover followed a ruling by the Supreme Court of Appeal last week that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) should give the tapes to Ms Zille's Democratic Alliance (DA).
Intelligence officials allegedly intercepted telephonic conversations while Mr Zuma was being investigated by an elite anti-corruption unit known as the Scorpions.
The tapes were given to South Africa's then-chief prosecutor Mokotedi Mpshe.
He dropped the charges, saying the tapes proved there had been "political interference" in the case and Mr Zuma would be denied a fair trial.
Mr Mpshe's decision came just ahead of the 2009 elections.
The ANC won the elections, opening the way for Mr Zuma to become president.
He was re-elected earlier this year, retaining a huge majority in parliament.

South Africa's opposition leader Helen Zille has been handed the "spy tapes" which she hopes will lead to corruption charges being reinstated against President Jacob Zuma.

The firm said in a statement that its net losses for the quarterly period were 12.3 billion yen ($102m; £66m).
It noted poor performances in its televisions, home appliances and personal computer businesses.
Last week, the Tokyo-based firm released a full-year net loss of $318m for the year to March 2015.
The full-year numbers had been delayed amid a recent accounting scandal.
In its first quarter results statement released on Monday, Toshiba said Japan's domestic economy had not shown signs of acceleration because of sluggish performance by smaller businesses that depended on domestic demand.
It also said Japan as a whole was experiencing a decrease in consumer spending due to a decline in real incomes and exports.
Japan, which is the world's third largest economy, last week announced a revised fall in private consumption to 0.7% from a previous estimate of 0.8%. The country relies on domestic consumption for about 60% of its economy.
Toshiba said it would not announce a forecast for its full-year to March 2016 figures at this point "as [it] continues to carefully evaluate the operational impacts of inappropriate accounting".
Toshiba's president and vice-president resigned in July after an independent panel found the company had overstated profits for the past six years.
The panel said operating profits had been overstated by $1.22bn, roughly triple an initial estimate by Toshiba.
Toshiba has apologised to investors and has made attempts to avoid further accounting irregularities.

Japan's troubled Toshiba has posted a first-quarter net loss for the three months to June as sales fell to their lowest point in two and a half years.

For the first time in 176 years, the Airdrie Savings Bank is expanding out of its traditional heartland.
Earlier this year the bank announced record lending figures.
The move is the first stage of an expansion plan being supported by a group of key Scottish business figures who deposited £10m into the bank in August 2010.
The group includes Brian Souter, Ann Gloag, Ewan Brown, Alastair Salvesen and Sir Tom Farmer.
The new branch in Falkirk's High Street will create five jobs for the town.
Falkirk branch manager Shirley Reid said: "Our expansion out of Lanarkshire represents an exciting step forward for Airdrie Savings Bank and hopefully Falkirk will be the first of several new branches across the country over the coming years."
Six of its seven branches are in towns across North Lanarkshire: Airdrie, Coatbridge, Motherwell, Shotts, Bellshill and Muirhead - with Ballieston just across the boundary in Glasgow.
The bank was founded on 1 January 1835 and was born out of the general "thrift" movement prevalent at the time.
It allows accounts to be opened with a deposit of 5p.

The information was released in response to a freedom of information request by the Belfast Telegraph.
OFGEM said the investigations focused on what appeared to be "ineligible installations".
All three investigations are ongoing.
The other two cases involved suspected frauds with values of £350,000 and £48,000 respectively.
When they are finished a decision will be taken on whether to refer them to police.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland has already said that it is in contact with OFGEM and the Department for the Economy over the referral of suspected fraud cases at the earliest opportunity.
It has said so far neither has indicated they had identified a case which showed criminal conduct.
The RHI scheme was intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses have been receiving more in subsidies than they are paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became majorly oversubscribed.
The fallout from the scandal surrounding the scheme, which is approximately £490m over budget, resulted in the resignation of Sinn Fein's deputy first minister, Martin McGuinness, the collapse of Stormont's institutions and the calling of snap elections on 2 March.
Retired appeal court judge Sir Patrick Coghlin will chair a public inquiry into the botched energy scheme.

For example, the invisible, smelly markers can let other bees know if a flower is full of good food.

The grave, in County Durham, was the final resting place of Levi George Price, 16, who died in 2001 and Gareth Price, also 16, who died in 2005.
Officers were called to the cemetery on Bridge Street in Metal Bridge near Ferryhill at 11:45 GMT on Saturday.
Police described the thefts as "sickening".
They added the crime "could be linked" to two recent incidents in Darlington in which vehicles appeared to have been deliberately driven into houses.
A stolen lorry was reversed into the bay window of a semi-detached property last week - days after a stolen horsebox smashed into a home on the outskirts of the town.
Police have previously said the two incidents with the vehicles could have been linked to an earlier petrol bomb attack.
Det Supt Adrian Green said: "This has taken things too far. It is depraved and goes against the religious and cultural beliefs of decent people.
"What I'd like to say to the community is this feud has to stop and we need anyone with information about this incident or the wider feud to contact us.
"The incidents to date have been targeted and do not involve the wider community directly."
It is believed the damage took place overnight on Friday.
Gareth Price was found hanging at Lancaster Farms Young Offenders' Institution in January 2005, the day before he was to be sentenced for rape.
He was taken to hospital but died the next day. His death was partly due to failures by agencies, an inquest jury said.
He had pleaded guilty to attacking a girl in the Formby area of Liverpool.
Levi Price also hanged himself, in the garden of the family home in Ferryhill, in 2001.

The R&A and United States Golf Association said in a joint statement that they are "concerned" about the development of the equipment.
Its use by players is already limited, but the sport's rule-makers have said they will "address the matter further in the coming months".
"Success should depend on the judgement, skills and abilities of the player," the statement read.
"We are reviewing the use of these materials to assess whether any actions need to be taken to protect this important part of the game."
England's Ian Poulter, who previously criticised the use of greens books, said the review was "common sense".
The two governing bodies announced a series of proposals in March which were designed to make golf quicker and played under simpler rules.
BBC golf correspondent Iain Carter
There has been a growing trend for players to refer to increasingly detailed maps of putting surfaces. These show green undulations and assist in reading the line of putts.
The question is whether this offers artificial assistance and is truly in the spirit of the game. The use of these maps is also time-consuming and slows the pace of play.
The review by the R&A and USGA suggests green maps will eventually be outlawed, meaning players will have to rely on their own perception of undulations, or that of their caddie.

Alexander Cassidy crashed into Wayne Strickland's car near Livingston in July last year.
Cassidy, 29, from Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, faced a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
His guilty plea to a reduced allegation of causing the incident due to driving without due care and attention, was rejected by the Crown.
A trial date was set for March next year.
It is alleged Cassidy drove a van dangerously and at "excessive speed" for the conditions on the westbound M8 on 20 July last year.
He is accused of not observing slow or stationary traffic before hitting the back of Mr Strickland's vehicle.
This is said to have caused Mr Strickland's car to strike a third vehicle which went into the back of a lorry.
The indictment states that Mr Strickland, a 49-year-old father, from Inverkeithing, Fife, was so severely injured that he died.
He was a business advisor with West Lothian Council at the time of his death.
Cassidy is due to stand trial on 14 March in Livingston. The case could last up to five days.

The new leader, Jocelerme Privert, was elected at a marathon session of the national assembly that continued into the early hours of Sunday morning.
Mr Privert is the current head of the assembly.
He will serve as president for up to four months while Haiti holds a new presidential poll.
A run-off vote in January was cancelled because of violence and instability and earlier this month a man believed to be a former soldier was beaten to death by a mob during continuing anti-government protests.
Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, is still struggling to recover from a huge earthquake in 2010.
In a speech before he was elected, Mr Privert vowed to "foster confidence" across society, ensure stability and hold the much-delayed run-off vote "as soon as possible".
The election will now be held on 24 April, with a new president due to be sworn in on 14 May.
The last-minute deal aims to prevent the country from plunging into an immediate power vacuum.
Speaking before he stepped down, Mr Martelly said his biggest regret was that January's presidential election had been postponed.
Mr Martelly is constitutionally barred from seeking re-election but has thrown his weight behind Jovenel Moise, a banana exporter who won the first round of the presidential election in November.
But the result was contested by the opposition challenger, Jude Celestin.
He accused the electoral authorities of favouring Mr Moise and threatened to pull out of the run-off vote.

Stephen Calcutt, 52, captured images while using public transport in Birmingham for work.
Now his photos will be on show at the London Art Biennale from 29 March.
He said: "Some people might love it, some might hate it. But it's unique."

Armed with his Sony A600 camera, the amateur photographer was inspired while waiting for a bus in the city about six months ago, looking through a scratched acrylic window.
"I was actually annoyed because it was ruining the view," Mr Calcutt, from Solihull, said.
But he snapped away anyway, and when he loaded his images on to a computer at home, he saw they had potential.
"Once I enhanced the colours, and played around with the shadow and contrast, they looked a bit like abstract paintings," Mr Calcutt said.
He entered some images to online gallery World Street Photography, and also contacted other galleries about his work, landing a spot in the annual exhibition of contemporary art in Chelsea, London.
Mr Calcutt travels around Birmingham for his job as a domiciliary care worker, and finds the richest spots for his photography in some of the busiest and noisiest urban areas.
One of his favourites is the Maypole area of the city on the number 50 bus route.
"I just take pictures of what I see. Maybe one day there will be an altercation and I'll capture that," he said.
Mr Calcutt knows his work might not be to everyone's tastes.
He said: "I look at some abstract art and I think, 'what is this'? These pictures have the same effect.
"The graffiti is blocking the view. It's vandalism. But I'm making something positive out of something I don't agree with."

The East Kilbride-based firm posted a loss of £6.2m last year, compared with a profit of £6.8m in 2014.
Goals blamed the fall on increased competition from new grant-aided full-size 3G pitches.
It claimed league operators had a competitive advantage in part because they did not have to invest in their own facilities.
The company, which operates 46 centres in the UK and one in California, reported that group sales fell by 4.9% to £33m last year.
Like-for-like sales in the UK fell by 6.7% but US sales rose by 8.4%.
Underlying pre-tax profit fell by 21.7% to £8.3m, while the firm took an exceptional charge of £14.5m, made up of "goodwill, asset impairment and software development".
The company has been seeking to turn around the fortunes of its UK business in the face of increasingly tough competition.
Goals has said it will not be seeking new sites in the UK "in the foreseeable future". It is also undertaking a review of "all aspects of the business".
In the annual results statement, chairman Keith Edelman announced he had stepped down from the board.
He has been replaced by Nick Basing, who joined the board in November.
Mr Basing said: "2015 was undoubtedly a disappointing year, however Goals still has a very sound operating model.
"I will be continuing to spearhead the ongoing review into every aspect of the business to develop a new strategy to improve performance and returns, partly based around a re-investment programme to rejuvenate and grow the business.
"It is pleasing to see early signs of our work so far with a return to very modest, positive like-for-like sales in the first nine weeks this year."

In July, UK Energy Secretary Greg Clark approved SP Manweb's proposal for 17km (10.5 miles) of power lines linking Clocaenog wind farm to a substation at Glascoed.
This followed a public inquiry into the plans last year.
SP Manweb said the decision to have a review does not change their programme.
The High Court hearing will take place in Llangefni in April.
The Pylon the Pressure group are campaigning for the cables, which will carry supplies from four windfarms in the Clocaenog and Brenig areas, to be laid underground.
The group's chairman, Dyfrig Hughes, said the scheme will "blight one of the most beautiful and historic landscapes of north Wales".
He added: "Unfortunately for us, the UK government agreed with them [SP Manweb] and granted permission despite underground cabling costing no more than overhead lines over the lifetime of the connection."
During the inquiry, then UK Energy Secretary Ed Davey said the additional £16m cost to lay the cables underground would be disproportionate.
Campaigners also had concerns the pylons would spoil a 16th-Century farmhouse near Llannefydd.
But the examination authority has said the visual impact on the building over the power lines' 30-year lifetime would be minimal.
A spokesperson for SP Energy Networks said: "We are aware of the judicial review, and we will monitor developments and continue to work closely with our clients.
"This decision does not impact on our programme, and work to develop our plans will continue.
"The decision to approve our proposals to connect two new wind farms in north Wales followed four years of detailed planning and consultation."

About 70% of the chapel, which was built in 1859, has been damaged by the blaze which ripped through its roof, the fire service said.
Police said the boys, aged 11 and 12, had been arrested on suspicion of arson and released on bail.
The chapel has not been used for more than 20 years.
Victoria Road was closed between Marrowbrook Lane and Elm Grove Road during the blaze and while investigation work was carried out.

Two soldiers will ride each bus in the capital, Tegucigalpa, and the second city, San Pedro Sula.
President Porfirio Lobo said the move would free police officers for street patrols in crime-ridden neighbourhoods.
Public buses in Honduras are frequently attacked by gangs who rob passengers and extort money from drivers.
The Honduran government began deploying troops on the streets last year in response to a public outcry over violent crime and the failure of the police to ensure security.
Honduras has the world's highest murder rate, according to the UN, with much of the killing linked to drug-trafficking.
In an address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, President Lobo again blamed the international drug trade for the violence afflicting his country.
"Our misfortune is to be in between the north and south," Mr Lobo said, referring to Honduras's role as a transit point for South American cocaine being smuggled to the US.

The Durham seamer, 25, missed the third Test at Edgbaston with the injury after a laboured display in the second Test, and has never played three consecutive first-class matches in his career.
"Long-term, I think the ankle problem that I've got may need some work done to it," Wood said.
"I've never had an operation yet but that might be the case."
He added: "Everyone saw that [in the second Test] at Lord's I struggled a bit so I might have to have that operation done."
Wood is in the squad for the fifth Test against Australia at Lord's, which starts on Thursday, but could miss out if James Anderson is passed fit, despite taking the wicket that won the Ashes for England in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.
He finished with match figures of 1-13 in the first innings and 3-69 in the second innings.
"Jimmy's got 400 wickets and he's England's lead bowler," Wood added. "He had a bowl yesterday and he seemed fine, and if he's fit and ready to go it looks like he would get the nod.
"It's out of my hands but I'm going to prepare how I've prepared for every other game."

Antony Wren, 42, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, said a former colleague had sent the card to him and his wife Sarah, but did not have their address.
The sender had written on the bottom of the envelope, posted on 6 December: "Good luck with that postie."
"It took four days to reach us... really quite impressive," Mr Wren said.
"In July 2013 we moved up to Lowestoft and sent out our new address in Christmas cards," he told the BBC.
"Obviously some of those cards must've gone missing and our friend and ex-colleague clearly has lost our new address but remembered we were moving to somewhere near the sea in Suffolk."
He tweeted Royal Mail and the Post Office to thank them for their efforts in ensuring the card was delivered.
The former colleague who sent the card had not yet been made aware they had received it, he added.

The cockpit voice recorder from the accident off Shetland in 2013, in which four people died, was recovered by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
Prosecutors have not been able to access vital data to examine whether anyone was criminally responsible.
A hearing is due to be held at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has the right to initial access to the cockpit voice recorder but it routinely chooses not to hand over the material to other bodies - in this case the Crown prosecutors.
The BBC Scotland news website revealed last year an order was being sought at the Court of Session to access the data.
It is a rare legal move.
The lord advocate, Scotland's top prosecutor, is seeking the order for disclosure of the voice recorder data recorder under the Civil Aviation (Investigation of Air Accidents and Incidents) Regulations 1996.
Section 18 covers disclosure of relevant records, and the Crown can act if it believes it to be in the public interest.
Helicopter passengers Sarah Darnley, from Elgin, Gary McCrossan, from Inverness, Duncan Munro, from Bishop Auckland, and George Allison, from Winchester, lost their lives.
A total of 18 people were on board when the Super Puma crashed on its approach to Sumburgh.

Mundhir Abdallah was reported to police after being filmed citing in Arabic a hadith - a teaching of the Prophet Muhammad - considered anti-Semitic.
The hadith says the Day of Judgement "will not come unless the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them".
A Jewish community leader said his words were a "thinly-veiled" threat.
Videos of the sermon were posted on YouTube and Facebook by the Al-Faruq Mosque on Sunday, although Mr Abdallah reportedly gave it on 31 March.
A part of the 30-minute address was later translated by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri).
In the video, Mr Abdallah is seen standing in front of a black flag with the Shahadah written on it, similar to those used by jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda.
He declares there will soon be a "caliphate" - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law, or Sharia - that will wage jihad to unite the Muslim community and liberate the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem "from the filth of the Zionists".
Then, he says, "the words of the Prophet Muhammad will be fulfilled" and cites the hadith.
Jewish community leader Dan Rosenberg told the Politiken newspaper: "We are concerned weak and impressionable people may perceive this kind of preaching as a clear call to violence and terror against Jews."
Immigration and Integration Minister Inger Stojberg also expressed outrage.
"This is completely preposterous, undemocratic and awful," the centre-right Venstre politician wrote on Facebook. "But it also shows why we need to lead a harsh and consistent policy. We cannot and should not accept this!"

The charity, led by Camila Batmanghelidjh, closed last month days after it received a £3m public grant.
The money was given to the charity despite advice it "was not likely to be value for money", the NAO said.
It said it would investigate the grounds for awarding money and how grants were monitored.
The NAO - which is due to report its findings in the autumn - will also look at other government funding the charity received over the past decade.
The charity is already the subject of a statutory investigation by the Charity Commission and an inquiry by the House of Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee.
The £3m government grant had been intended for a "transformation and downsizing plan" that would support the charity as it reformed.
The Cabinet Office's lead official, Richard Heaton, wrote to ministers on 26 June asking for a "ministerial direction" before making the payment.
He said he thought the grant would be poor value for money and sought written confirmation that they wanted him to go ahead anyway.
Ministers Matthew Hancock and Oliver Letwin said the funding should be given after leadership changes, as the charity had a "realistic prospect of long-term viability".
Prime Minister David Cameron has also defended the grant, saying it had been right to give Kids Company "one last chance".
Shortly after the money was awarded, the charity - which relied on individual donations and government grants - said it was shutting its doors due to a lack of funding.
It said a financial crisis had been caused by the number of children "pouring through our doors" for help, and by "as yet unsubstantiated allegations" - which it claimed stopped donors giving money.
Those allegations included concerns over the safeguarding of young people.

The awarding of public money to the now-defunct charity Kids Company is to be investigated by spending watchdog the National Audit Office.

The 118,200 standard tickets, which cost £228 plus £5 booking fee, went on sale at 09:00 BST on Sunday and were snapped up by fans in 30 minutes.
Glastonbury said: "We have, once again, been staggered by the sheer number of people from around the world who hoped to come to the festival, with demand significantly outstripping supply."
The line-up will be revealed next year.
"We're sorry to all of those who missed out," organisers said in a statement. "We really wish we could fit you all in.
"But there will be a resale of any returned tickets in the spring, and registration will open again in the next few days. Thank you for your incredible support."
Many unsuccessful fans reported a struggle to access the ticket site on Sunday morning.
Those wishing to attend had to register online in advance, and those who did manage to book were required to pay a £50 deposit.
The remaining balance will be required by the first week of April. Any tickets that have not been paid for will then go back on sale.
The first batch of 16,800 tickets - for combined coach travel and festival entry - sold out in 20 minutes on Thursday.
Coldplay and Adele are among the favourites to headline in 2016, while Muse have told Q magazine they would like to play.
Last month, festival organiser Michael Eavis told BBC Newsbeat he had booked the headliners for the next two years.
He said four of the six acts have headlined before, while the other two will top the bill for the first time.
Kanye West, Florence and the Machine and The Who headlined this summer.

Petrie Court, on Cromwell Road in Lower Kersal, will be given a £2m refurbishment to create a computer suite, gym and accommodation.
The plan is that it will provide people aged 16 to 25 with a place to live while they work or complete training.
Lee Sugden, chief executive at Salix Homes, said the project is "fantastic news for the young".
He said it would "provide much-needed opportunities for those who desperately want to work and make something with their lives, but are struggling to hold down a job or go to college because of their unsuitable or unstable living arrangements".
Petrie Court previously provided supported accommodation to young homeless people, but closed down in 2014 as part of Salford Council's funding cuts.
The project has received £1m funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, which will be matched by Salix Homes.
It is hoped the facility will be open by summer.

Energy firm Inazin said the site at Branston, near Lincoln, will produce about 20 megawatts, enough to power up to 3,600 homes.
Work is expected to start in the coming weeks with the site being connected to the grid in March next year.
A spokesman for Inazin said they had planned for a larger facility but local power infrastructure could not cope.
North Kesteven District Council heard the site will have a lifespan of about 30 years after which it will revert to farm land.

Noel Murphy, from Lusk in County Dublin, died on the Cooley Hill Road at the Tandragee 100 on Saturday. He was in his late 20s.
It is understood there were no other riders involved in the incident.
Racing was suspended for a period of time, but resumed following a request from Mr Murphy's father who was at the event.
Clerk of the course RJ Woolsey said: "The North Armagh Motorcycle and Car Club deeply regret to announce at today's race, at the Tandragee 100, a rider in the junior support race crashed and sustained fatal injuries.
"The officials and club extend their sympathy to Noel Murphy's family and partner.
"The club would have been happy to cancel the remainder of the event, but Noel's father insisted to me that we continue racing and simply said: 'I'm going to races 40 years, you run your race'."
In May 2008, one of Ireland's top road racers, Martin Finnegan, died in an accident at the Tandragee 100.

Northamptonshire Police released CCTV footage showing the vehicles, including a Cumbrian coach, making illegal U-turns at Junction 18 near Crick.
It shows them heading the wrong way down a slip road to get off the M1.
The drivers had been approaching a queue caused by a serious accident at Junction 19 on Sunday 5 July.
It was recorded just before 21:00 BST.
PC Dave Lee, of the force's tactical roads policing unit, said: "These people were behaving ridiculously.
"People joining the motorway aren't expecting other vehicles to be coming towards them.
"These drivers were not only putting their own lives at risk, they were risking the lives of everyone heading down that slip road."
Officers are now investigating the footage so action can be taken against the drivers who performed the illegal U-turns.
Wigton-based coach company Reays confirmed the driver who performed the U-turn has resigned.

Maisie had been in a neighbouring field when she got through a gate in Heyshott, West Sussex, and wandered onto the green plastic cover.
She fell in to the water, and fire crews arrived to find her "well and truly stuck" in the pool.

A section of the lower end of Colwyn Bay Victoria Pier collapsed into the sea on Wednesday.
Conwy council said it has been "quite clear about the deteriorating state of the pier".
The pier has been fenced off for some time because of its condition and the public has been urged to stay away from the area.
The Colwyn Victoria Trust Campaign, set up to redevelop the structure, said it had been warning of the danger of collapse for several years.
A statement on the group's Facebook page said: "Well what a day the poor pier has had. So sad to see her broken.
"Half the decking at the end which we knew was rotten has fallen into the sea taking with it the balustrade.
"On the positive side the stanchions are still standing solid as far as we can see."

A loss of service in 2016 revealed that uninterrupted access to emergency calls was vulnerable to a single technical problem, regulator Ofcom said.
Its investigation concluded that Three did not act recklessly, but the issue could be reasonably be avoided.
The company said it had strengthened its systems.
Gaucho Rasmussen, Ofcom's enforcement and investigations director, said: "Telephone access to the emergency services is extremely important, because failures can have serious consequences for people's safety and wellbeing.
"This fine serves as a clear warning to the wider telecoms industry. Providers must take all necessary steps to ensure uninterrupted access to emergency services."
In a statement, Three said: "Ofcom identified this vulnerability when investigating a separate, unprecedented and unforeseeable October 2016 fibre break outage on Three's network. This resulted in a temporary loss of emergency call services affecting some customers. Three took immediate action and the issue was quickly resolved.
"Ofcom recognises that the circumstances surrounding the October 2016 fibre break outage were exceptional and outside of Three's control."
