The operating profit for the second quarter unfortunately fell short of expectations.
Ordinary profit and net profit for the period exceeded expectations due to the impact of exchange rates.
Regarding operating profit, we were unable to achieve the downwardly revised performance forecast, and we sincerely apologize for the concern and inconvenience caused to our shareholders, customers, business partners, employees and their families, and many others who support us.
We will review this performance and aim for a recovery in performance as a united company.
There are no changes to the full-year performance forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2015.
We will continue to steadily progress as a technology development company.
We sincerely ask for your continued guidance and encouragement.
