Thank you. I apologize for asking yet another question about inventory. Could you tell me whether you have seen increases in inventory specifically for South Korea or Greater China? If possible, could you disclose inventory or cash conversion cycle by business segment? A rough image would be fine. I believe this is a significant factor for thinking about OMRON’s ability to respond to change going forward, so if possible, could you provide some color on these points? We are being impacted by changes in trends in the Digital industries in South Korea. However, we are not manufacturing in South Korea, with the exception of some small-scale production, so we are not seeing inventory accumulation in South Korea. With regard to a more detailed breakout of inventory, although we do manage inventory broken down by specific businesses internally, we have no plans at this point to disclose this data. Thank you. If you could kindly pass the mic to the person next to you? Thank you.
