Profit before tax increased 69.7% to 29,965 million yen and profit for the term increased 102.5% to 23,239 million yen year on year. This significant increase in profit is due to the recording of 14,275 million yen of insurance income in the form compensation for the fixed assets and for the lost profit suffered from the Thai flooding.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, revenues from all operations were 372,494 million yen, down 1.2% year on year mainly due to business transfer of Pentax Imaging Systems in October 2011.
