1 ) Summary of business activities for the periods of Sept. 2005-Aug. 2006
The annual sales amount has reached JPY5, 300 million, which is over 10 % drop compared to the last year.
However, we keep our profit at the same level as last year by reduction of costs and improving our profit rate. This drop can be explained by the effect of high fuel prices, which is observed all over the World, and economic recession in some our markets, such as New Zealand and others. So the sales were surely lower at these markets, but we do have some sales growth in other markets to sustain our sales amount and profit.
