	Customers who use our products and services are not only consumers but also patients, and we must establish beneficial relations and exercise abundant consideration to earn their trust.

We set forth our minimum obligations as appropriate distribution of profits and transparent management activities, and intend to gain understanding for our management and business activities through the appropriate and timely disclosure of information.
