FY2020-Q3 Increase in Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets

「As of the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year, total assets increased by ¥45,254 million from the end of the previous fiscal year to ¥986,749 million, total liabilities increased by ¥4,527 million to ¥199,032 million, and total net assets increased by ¥40,727 million to ¥787,717 million. The increase in assets was mainly due to an increase in securities resulting from an increase in bonds and other securities scheduled for redemption within one year, and an increase in buildings and structures upon completion of the new facility resulting from the relocation of Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum. The increase in liabilities was mainly due to an increase in deferred tax liabilities following a rise in the market prices of investment securities, despite a decrease in accounts payable–income taxes and other taxes resulting from tax payments. The increase in net assets was mainly due to the recognition of quarterly net income attributable to owners of the parent that exceeded the decrease in retained earnings resulting from shareholder dividends, and an increase in valuation difference on available-for-sale securities following a rise in the market prices of investment securities.」
