FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The firm stopped releasing full financials with the last at 31/08/2003 fiscal term, and only partial figures are made available.

 

The sales volume for Jul/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 912 million, a 13% hike from Yen 807 million in the previous term.  30th anniversary sales campaign contributed to boost sales.  The net profit, on the other hand, decreased to Yen 31 million from Yen 46 million a year ago.  Rising costs of imports and operations ate into profits.

 

For the current term ending Jul 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 35 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 960 million.  Weaker Yen could uplift sales in Yen terms.
