We did our best, though, and after concentrating <em>really hard</em> and taking our Adult ADD medication, we were able to produce actual, honest-to-goodness business information.<br /><br />For instance! For the 9 month period ending on December 31, 2011, Namco Bandai reports a net income (which is the amount of earned money left over after all operating expenses <em>and</em> taxes) of &yen;16.3 billion, or about $210 million, which is a 34.3 percent increase over the same period last year.<br /><br />The company predicts an additional &yen;2.19 billion ($28.3 million) in net income over the course of Q4, (which runs from January 1 to March 31, 2012), wrapping up fiscal 2012 to the tune of &yen;18.5 billion ($238.4 million) in net profit over the course of the fiscal year. Provided these predictions stand the test of time, Namco Bandai's performance in fiscal 2012 will be a 90 percent increase over its performance in fiscal 2011.<br /><br />Whew!
