Happy new year I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for welcoming the new year with a refreshing feeling. Looking back at last year, with the change in the classification of COVID-19 infections in May, various things have been lifted, and life seems to be returning to the way it was before the COVID-19.
At our company, the number of new Covid-19 infections has also stabilized, and there has been little impact on the operations of our customers. In addition, there were no major accidents or disasters within the company, and production activities continued without any hitches, so we expect a high level of performance for this fiscal year. As we approach the new year 2024, the problems facing our lives continue from last year, such as rising prices of goods and soaring energy costs, and when we look at the world, we see the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, between Israel and Palestine. The world situation continues to be unstable.
Furthermore, at the end of last year, a quality fraud issue was discovered at Daihatsu Motor Corporation, a member of the Toyota group, and shipments of all vehicle models were suspended, so the environment surrounding our company is not optimistic.
We will once again reevaluate our current position and all of our employees will work together as one to make further efforts, and we ask for your continued support and guidance.
Last but not least, I would like to extend my New Year’s greetings by wishing you and your families good health and happiness.
