Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Net sales remained sluggish due to product assortment issues and fell short of plan. Although the company worked to increase the proportion of private-label products, improve its purchase cost ratio and reduce selling, general and administrative expenses, the operating loss widened because of the decline in net sales. The ordinary loss was also affected by ¥225 million in non-operating expenses, including advisory fees related to the share exchange. The bottom-line result included ¥248 million in extraordinary income and ¥116 million in extraordinary losses.

Disclosure regarding the going concern assumption

Material events or conditions related to the going concern assumption are disclosed. The continued operating loss, ordinary loss and interim net loss, together with negative net worth, constitute events or conditions that raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the company has determined that concerns about its near-term funding have been resolved through support from ワールド and that no material uncertainty exists. No matters requiring disclosure are noted in the notes on the going concern assumption.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

There were signs of a recovery in customer numbers following the launch of new women's apparel products and a review of price ranges. However, net sales remained sluggish due to product assortment issues, including an overly narrow range of styles in tops and goods and insufficient development of fashion accessories for transitional seasons. On the earnings front, the decline in net sales reduced gross profit, while the company worked to increase the proportion of private-label products, improve its purchase cost ratio and reduce costs.
