The company faced ongoing challenges from the red yeast rice product recall, impacting sales and incurring special losses totaling ¥2.9 billion in the first half.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
