- From the company’s annual results notices in Japan’s official gazette, as transcribed in a table on a Japanese investing blog covering 1999–2016 (amounts converted to millions of yen).
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Retained earnings fell ¥18.5m more than the loss, consistent with a small dividend. The research links loss years to set-up costs, here for Pokémon Korea.
