Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity.

Material Changes and Risks
The Supervisory Committee's report includes a critical "Emphasis of Matter" paragraph.

This is detailed further in Note 1 of the financial statements, which are referenced but not reproduced in this filing. Additionally, the report notes a minor compliance issue regarding the lack of transcription of the Journal to the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book CD ROM for the months of January through March 2022.
