of March 2012, the system is in place at Group companies in Japan, North America
(the United States and Canada), Thailand, European countries, Philippines,
Singapore, Australia and Malaysia, and operates in accordance with business
practice and laws of each country. We continue to expand the number of countries
covered, giving the HOYA Help Line worldwide coverage.
HOYA considers fair and prompt disclosure of information and other investor
relations activities to be a fundamental duty of management. The Company also
values communication with shareholders,and it continues to clearly reflect their
views in its management practices. In 1998, HOYA started quarterly disclosure of
financial statements, ahead of many other Japanese firms. Since then the Company
has sought to increase the timeliness and broaden the scope of disclosure by
shortening the period between the account settlement at the end of each quarter
and the disclosure, and ensuring that the volume of information in the quarterly
reports is equivalent to that in the year-end financial reports. Top management is
actively involved in investor relations activities. For example, the CEO attends every
quarterly investor meetings to explain results and answer questions from securities
analysts and institutional investors.
