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 because growth in the U.S. exceeded the decline in the Asia business. The gross profit margin declined due to changes in the product mix associated with the transfer of part of the interest in the Asia business. R&D expenses increased as clinical trials in oncology were accelerated and efforts in the neuropsychiatry field were advanced. Operating profit declined due to these and other increases in expenses.
