Shareholders' equity remains robust at 118.67 billion yen, contributing to a total net asset value of 118.12 billion yen. The data reflects a period of transition where short-term earnings have softened, yet the company maintains a stable capital base and anticipates a recovery in sales volume by the end of the fiscal year.
