Despite the weak start and a decline in its capital-to-assets ratio to 55.4%, total assets and equity both increased compared with the previous fiscal year-end, and the company maintained its full-year performance targets of ¥10 billion in ordinary profit and ¥6.8 billion in profit attributable to owners, while holding its dividend policy with a projected slight year-on-year increase in the total annual dividend, underscoring management’s intention to treat these figures as management goals amid uncertainty in real estate transaction volumes.
