15 Conclusion Business slogan for FY12 Be Professional! The first half of fiscal year 2012 was filled with positive news such as the Japan team winning several medals at the London Olympic Games as well as the great performances of our contract golf professional athletes. Using the above as our tailwind, we will accelerate the shift into our regrowth for the latter half of the year. In addition to the lingering delay in recovery of the European economy, the anti-japanese activities in China continue to bring uncertainty, but we will proceed to place importance on transforming our business structure to withstand even difficult environments, and make efforts to enhance our business performance.
