Quarterly Consolidated Balance Sheets: 2Q FY2013

The quarterly consolidated balance sheet and income statements for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 reveal a contraction in both operating performance and financial position compared with the same period of fiscal year 2012. Total assets fell from ¥20,083 million to ¥17,480 million, largely due to a reduction in current assets and non‑current investments. Current liabilities decreased from ¥3,731 million to ¥2,738 million, but shareholders’ equity declined from ¥16,291 million to ¥14,664 million, driven by a lower retained earnings balance and the continued impact of treasury stock.

Operating income swung from ¥1,612 million in 2Q FY2012 to a loss of ¥398 million in 2Q FY2013, reflecting higher selling, general and administrative expenses relative to sales. Net sales dropped by 41% from ¥6,817 million to ¥3,979 million, while cost of sales fell proportionally. Non‑operating losses increased sharply due to a ¥126 million loss on equity in affiliates and a ¥21 million loss on investments, offset only partially by foreign exchange gains of ¥20 million. Ordinary income turned negative, with a loss of ¥525 million in 2Q FY2013 versus a profit of ¥1,583 million previously.

Comprehensive income mirrored the net loss trend, reporting a ¥1,293 million loss attributable to owners of the parent in 2Q FY2013 versus a ¥1,184 million profit in 2Q FY2012. Cash flow analysis shows operating cash outflows of ¥448 million, a significant rise in investing cash inflows to ¥2,774 million—largely from sales of subsidiary shares—and financing outflows of ¥327 million due to dividend payments. Overall, the company experienced a notable decline in profitability and equity during the second quarter of FY2013.
