The investigation committee determined that the transactions in question lacked economic substance and that the recognition of sales and other amounts constituted improper accounting treatment.

Impact on Business Performance

At present, the historical consolidated statements of income show a ¥200,000 overstatement of loss, resulting in the latest consolidated retained earnings being understated by the same amount. The appropriate consolidated profit or loss would be zero, and the Company believes there is no impact on profit or loss.
