To prevent financial information leaks and to ensure fairness, the Company has established a blackout period during which we will refrain from answering questions or making comments regarding financial results. This blackout period begins on the day following the end of the fiscal year, and the end of each quarter, and lasts until each disclosure date. However, if the Company expects to see a significant deviation from previously announced earnings forecasts during the blackout period, we will make timely and appropriate disclosures in accordance with the Standards for Disclosure.
