    2. The said ratios for the most recent 2 fiscal years reach 1 percent or more.
    3. The average of the said ratios for the most recent 2 fiscal years reaches 1 percent or more, and the profitability of the issuer for the most recent fiscal year is more favorable than that for the previous fiscal year.
  3. The net asset value of the shares issued by the issuer in the most recent year is lower than its par value, or the net worth before distribution does not reach one-third of total assets.
