Consolidated Financial Results (Full Basis) Consolidated operating results on a full basis for fiscal 2013 are shown in the table below. Sales increased, while operat- ing profit, profit before tax and profit for the year decreased. 

The cause of the above decreases was the recording of various items as ¥81.0 billion (compared to ¥49.3 billion in the previous fiscal year) in “other expense.” These included items excluded from core results, namely, impairment losses for patents and marketing rights due to the discon- tinuation of development projects and restructuring costs as a result of reshaping the research framework and the succession of the Fuji Plant Business to Nichi-Iko Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Net foreign exchange losses were also among the items recorded. The details of the non-core items that are excluded from core results are provided in the following table.
