Items this document does not state (7)
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 due to growth in telecommunications carrier projects, public-sector projects, election-related services and human resources and accounting services. Operating profit benefited from the effect of higher revenue, increased billing rates for clients, improved profitability through office consolidation and operational efficiency measures, and lower selling, general and administrative expenses due to the absence of office consolidation costs recorded in the previous fiscal year.
