See it on page 4The financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, covering the period from April 1, 2013, to June 30, 2013, indicate a significant downturn in performance compared to the same period in the previous year. Net sales fell sharply by approximately 39%, dropping from ¥3,539 million in 2012 to ¥2,144 million in 2013. This contraction in revenue led to an operating loss of ¥84 million, a stark reversal from the ¥889 million operating income recorded in the prior year’s first quarter.
The bottom-line results further reflect this decline, with the company reporting a net loss of ¥253 million for the quarter, compared to a net income of ¥562 million a year earlier. This deficit was exacerbated by non-operating expenses, specifically a ¥117 million loss from equity in affiliates, and an extraordinary impairment loss of ¥34 million. Consequently, retained earnings decreased from ¥10,409 million at the end of fiscal year 2012 to ¥9,827 million by June 30, 2013.
Despite the operational losses, the consolidated balance sheet shows a stable liquidity position. Total assets stood at ¥18,868 million, with cash and deposits remaining a primary component at ¥12,643 million. Cash flow analysis reveals that while operating activities resulted in a net outflow of ¥210 million, investing activities generated a significant inflow of ¥2,371 million, primarily driven by the withdrawal of time deposits. This resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents, ending the period at ¥11,143 million. The overall financial position remains characterized by a high equity ratio, though the period was defined by shrinking sales and a transition into net losses.
