Balance‑sheet data as of June 30, 2018 show total assets at ¥121.8 billion, down from ¥128.6 billion the previous year, primarily due to a reduction in current assets and investment securities. Current liabilities decreased to ¥7.9 billion from ¥11.0 billion, improving the current ratio. Shareholders’ equity stood at ¥109.5 billion, with retained earnings slightly lower than the prior year.

Overall, the quarter reflects strong profitability in entertainment, modest declines in ancillary segments, and a solid liquidity position, positioning the company for continued growth into the remainder of FY2018.
