Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Feb/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,448 million, a 21% up from Yen 4,515 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to taking over business from one of its group firms, that boosted sales.  Exports of Japanese green teas rose.  The net profit was posted at Yen 41 million, down from Yen 136 million a year ago.  The last term’s profits included extraordinary incomes coming from the revaluation of inventories, etc.

 

For the current term ending Feb 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 42 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 5,550 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 97.2 million, on 30 days normal terms.
