Olympus's long-termborrowings have swelled to 527 billion yen in the past five years, when former Chairman Tsuyoshi Kikukawa made acquisitions including the $2.1 billion takeover of Gyrus Group Plc.
The borrowings are classified as short-termborrowings if they need to be repaid within 12 months (12 months included) of the balance sheet date, and the others are classified as long-termborrowings.
