[Qualitative Information Concerning Results for the Quarter under Review] 1. Qualitative Information Concerning Operating Results Although we have only one segment, the agrochemical business segment, we state our results by item in order to show our business trends. (Fungicide) Net sales for the accumulated period up to the second quarter of the fiscal year under review were 1,878 million yen, down 144 million yen or 7.1% from the same quarter in the previous year. This was mainly caused by a decline in sales of Daconil products (technical and formulation) for overseas markets due to intensifying price competition with generic Daconil products. Meanwhile, shipments in Japan grew steadily. (Paddy herbicide) Net sales for the accumulated period up to the second quarter of the fiscal year under review were 1,567 million yen, up 46 million yen or 3.1% from the same quarter in the previous year. This was mainly caused by an increase in shipments of Benzobicyclon products and Cafenstrole technical products for Japan. (Greenery-related products) Net sales for the accumulated period up to the second quarter of the fiscal year under review were 803 million yen, down 128 million yen or 13.8% from the same quarter in the previous year. This was mainly due to a decline in shipments of plant growth regulators for tobacco caused by a decrease in crop acreage of tobacco in Japan. (Insecticide) Net sales for the accumulated period up to the second quarter of the fiscal year under review were 278 million yen, up 21 million yen or 8.5% from the same quarter in the previous year. This was mainly due to an increase in shipments of nematicide. (Others) Net sales for the accumulated period up to the second quarter of the fiscal year under review were 99 million yen, up 4 million yen or 5.0% from the same quarter in the previous year. - 3 -
2. Qualitative Information Concerning Financial Conditions (1) Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets Total assets as of the end of the first half of fiscal 2012 under review (June 30, 2012) were 11,048 million yen, down 1,044 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year (December 31, 2011). Current assets were 7,715 million yen, down 878 million yen from the end of the previous year. This was mainly caused by a decrease of 997 million yen in accounts receivable-trade, a decrease of 327 million yen in accounts receivable-other and an increase of 315 million yen in inventories. Noncurrent assets were 3,333 million yen, down 165 million yen from the end of the previous year. This was mainly due to recording a depreciation of property, plants, and equipment of 104 million yen, depreciation of intangible assets of 48 million yen, and amortization of long-term prepaid expenses of 40 million yen. Current liabilities were 4,313 million yen, down 866 million yen from the end of the previous year. This was mainly caused by a decline of 253 million yen in accounts payable-trade, a decrease of 141 million yen in short-term loans payable, a decrease of 338 million yen in current portion of long-term loans payable and a decrease of 151 million yen in income taxes payable. Noncurrent liabilities were 2,999 million yen, down 154 million yen from the end of the previous year. This was mainly caused by a decrease of 99 million yen in long-term loans payable. Net assets were 3,736 million yen, down 24 million yen from the end of the previous year. This was mainly due to a decrease of 78 million yen in dividends from surplus and an increase of 53 million yen in net income for the quarter. (2) Cash flow Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter referred to as funds ) as the end of the accumulated period up to the second quarter under review were 821 million yen, up 61 million yen from the end of the previous year. This was owing to income from notes and accounts receivable-trade, in spite of factors such as a payment of notes and accounts payable-trade, a repayment of short-term loans payable and a repayment of long-term loans payable. The main contributing factors are as follows. (Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities) Funds received as a result of operating activities were 805 million yen. Compared with the same period in the previous year, funds decreased 659 million yen. This was because of factors including an increase of 315 million yen in inventories (a decrease of 90 million yen in the same period in the previous year), a decrease of 191 million yen in notes and accounts payable-trade (a decrease of 947 million yen in the same period in the previous year) and a decrease of 1,318 million yen in notes and accounts receivable-trade (a decrease of 2,361 million yen in the same period in the previous year). (Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities) Funds used in investing activities were 83 million yen. Funds used were down 35 million yen from the same period in the previous year. The main contributing factor was a payment for acquisition of property, plant and equipment and software. (Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities) Funds used in financial activities were 656 million yen. Compared with the same period in the previous year, funds used in financial activities decreased 588 million yen. This was mainly due to funding by long-term loans payable of 500 million yen (1,400 million yen in the same period in the previous year), a decrease of 141 million yen in short-term loans payable (1,818 million yen in the same period in the previous year) and a repayment of long-term loans payable of 937 million yen (755 million yen in the same period in the previous year). 3.
