FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The financials are only partially disclosed as are consolidated in the parent’s.

 

The sales volume for Jun/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 480 million, a 9% down from Yen 530 million in the previous term, hurt by sluggish consumer spending.  The net profit decreased to Yen 8 million from Yen 10 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Jun 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 8 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 500 million.  Consumer spending is seen recovering.  Weaker Yen may assist to uplift sales amount in Yen terms, too.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 8.7 million, on normal 30 days terms.  The limit is assessed taking into the parent’s financial strength.  The parent, Kashikey Co Ltd, is estimated responsible for credit engagements up to Yen 227.4 million, on normal 30 days terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capacities.
