FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,780 million, a 2% continuous drop from Yen 3,864 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the decline in exports to China due to overstocking, reported.  Paint prices are seen weakening due to harsh competition among the trade.  The operations continued in the red to register Yen 19 million recurring loss and Yen 17 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 30 million recurring loss and Yen 46 million net loss, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the operations are expected to come back to profitability projecting Yen 10 million recurring profit and Yen 10 million net profit, respectively, on a 0.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 3,800 million.  China operations show some sign of picking up.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 63.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
