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.Revenue increased as the number of temples opened rose, while amortization of long-term prepaid expenses, local staff costs, advertising expenses for individual temples, head-office staff costs, recruitment expenses, and advertising expenses associated with upgrading the company website also increased. In the second quarter alone, operating profit increased from the previous quarter as advertising expenses were controlled.
