Total assets increased by ¥56.2 billion to ¥87.0 billion due mainly to inventory growth and investment securities purchases.

Investment activities resulted in a cash outflow of ¥73.29 billion, largely driven by investments in fixed assets and securities. Financial activities also led to a cash outflow of -¥20.4 million, primarily due to dividend payments.
