On the balance sheet, total assets increased modestly to ¥95,679 million, driven primarily by a rise in investment securities from ¥45,339 million to ¥56,257 million. Current assets fell 34 % due to lower cash balances and receivables, but current liabilities dropped 42 % to ¥7,097 million, improving liquidity. Shareholders’ equity grew to ¥84,575 million, supported by retained earnings and a reduction in treasury stock. Overall, the company’s financial position strengthened through higher profitability, improved cash flow management, and a solid asset base.
