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.

Orders and sales in the local-government advertising business fell short of the assumptions at the beginning of the period, resulting in declines from the same period of the previous year in advertising space sales and the joint publication of administrative information booklets. In addition, personnel investment, marketing expenses and other costs increased in the local-government works business and the corporate hometown tax donation business.
