Editorial Policy
The Olympus Group strives to conduct disclosure in a manner that
meets the information needs of its stakeholders.
Annual Report 2015 is a report for fiscal 2015, the year ended
March 31, 2015, that provides stakeholders with the management,
financial, and non-financial information necessary to understand
the Company’s operations.
Detailed non-financial information can be found in CSR Report
2015, while the Company’s corporate website provides up-to-date
information on a variety of topics.
Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements concerning
the Company’s future plans, strategies, and performance. These
forward-looking statements are not historical facts, rather they rep-
resent assumptions and beliefs based on economic, financial, and
competitive data currently available.
Furthermore, these statements are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties that, without limitation, relate to economic con-
ditions, worldwide business competition, customer demand, foreign
currency exchange rates, tax rules, regulations, and other factors.
Olympus therefore wishes to caution readers that actual results
may differ materially from its expectations.
We aim towards establishing firm ties with
society through the three INs.
The Olympus Group strives to realize better health and happiness for people
by being an integral member of society, sharing common values,
and proposing new values through its business activities.
This “Social IN” concept is key to the basic
Olympus philosophy underlying all of our activities.
Social IN comes from Social Value IN the Company,
a concept of incorporating social values
into the Company’s activities.
