Items this document does not state (8)
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.Growth in license sales, the consolidation of 5 overseas subsidiaries and an improved gross profit margin contributed to the increase in profit, absorbing higher selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from the expansion of the scope of consolidation, stronger sales activities and higher salary levels. Net income increased despite a decline from the previous fiscal year’s one-off gains, including gains on the sale of cross-shareholdings.
