Yes, and they are in the report because the report is talking about this isolated year. If it wasn't isolating the year, Nintendo would be showing outrageous profits because of all the money the made before the last two years. So it's okay to isolate a single year -- to pretend, for a moment, that the other years and their financial results don't exist, for the sake of analyzing the results of one year and one year only.
So if we want to analyze the results of one quarter and one quarter only, we must isolate that quarter from the others around it. If you add up all of Nintendo's money through the years, all of their finances, before the start of the quarter Oct-Dec 2012, they had $X. As of the end of that same quarter, they had $Y. And the difference between X and Y is approximately $450. Maybe that's not factoring in appreciation and depreciation of property, but you get the point.
