These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The operating loss narrowed because SG&A expenses decreased by ¥24 million. The absence of the ¥14 million litigation-related loss recognized in the same period of the previous year and other factors also contributed to the narrowing of the quarterly net loss. The decline in revenue was mainly due to lower private sales.
