Detailed Financial Results
Revenue Sources
The revenue breakdown reveals a significant contribution from software sales, which amounted to JPY 151 million ($1 million), more than doubling from JPY 75.1 million in the previous fiscal year. On the contrary, consulting and support services revenue dropped to JPY 524.6 million ($3.5 million), reflecting a 15.1% decline compared to JPY 618 million in 2024, largely due to the withdrawal of e-commerce store setup services.
