HIGHLIGHTS

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,670 million, a 33.8% up from Yen 1,413 million for irregular 4 months (due to the change in accounting term) in the previous term.  Agricultural nets and construction nets rose as the construction industry revived.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 891 million and the net profit at Yen 540 million, respectively, compared with Yen 183 million recurring profit and Yen 75 million net losses the previous term for 4 months.  The previous term’s losses refer to extraordinary losses of Yen 189 million coming from the asset impairment accounting system employed from that term.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 900 million and the net profit at Yen 550 million, respectively, on a 20% rise in turnover, to Yen 6,800 million.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 231.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
