| As a result of inventory
reduction efforts both in Japan and overseas,
inventory decreased by 11.0 billion yen.
This does not include the 2.4 billion
yen positive effect of foreign exchange
rate fluctuations.
We believe this is the result of
our “APS (Advanced Production System
— production innovation)”
activities taking effect throughout our
plants.
We will continue these activities
to further reduce inventories.
