Compared to 1,211 the number of attendee last year, this year's number was 1075. It was down compared to the last year.

This year, we disclose income statement for BCS Tokyo 2005.
I think that exhibitors have the right to know how much money was generated and spent in what way as they "invested" their money into this.

If we are going to do BCS again next year, I think that we should do the disclosure again. Also, we disclose the number of attendees precisely even though we have fewer number than previous year.

If you were an exhibitor, what do you think?
