If you're really bored, Kose's 2007 Annual Report for FY2006 makes for a somewhat interesting read. Kose's eponymous flagship brand recorded falling sales but Albion and Jill Stuart posted strong growth. Jill Stuart's growth was mainly due to the increase in number of counters. In addition, Esprique Precious has also performed above expectations. Overall, Kose had a 0.8% decrease in net sales to US$1.495 billion and 31% decline in net income to US$58 million.

I didn't know Albion is by Kose too. Wow. Declining sales...Looks like Kose should plan launching Jill Stuart in more countries. :)
