Sharp’s common shares were reassigned from the First Section Market to the Second Section Market as of August 1, 2016. Under our new management system, Sharp executed structural reforms to achieve early surplus, leading to the recovery of profitability in all businesses in Fiscal 2016 consolidated financial results, achieving operation surplus for the first time in 3 fiscal quarters.
