FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 482,125 million, a 6.8% up from Yen 451,514 million in the previous term.  The growth was thanks to the expanded private sector spending particularly brisk orders for data-communication works.  Received orders up 3.2% and orders delivered up 6.8%, respectively.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 17,868 million and the net profit at Yen 9,136 million, respectively, compared with Yen 15,526 million recurring profit and Yen 7,843 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

           

(Apr/Sept/2007 results): Sales Yen 216,305 million (up 6.1%), operating profit Yen 6,665million (down 0.5%), recurring profit Yen 7,125 million (up 1.6%), net profit Yen 3,402 million (down 12.5%).  (% compared with the same period last year). 

           

For the current term ending Mar 20088 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 118,500 million and the net profit at Yen 10,100 million, respectively, on a 7.8% rise in turnover, to Yen 520,000 million.  General electrical engineering works continuing growth.  Works for electric power systems and data-communication systems will expand.  Profits on works widening, benefiting from selective acceptance of orders.  Acquired top-ranking plumbing & sanitary equipment work from Nishihara Co, and added con subsidiary in Apr/2007.  With acquisition, aims to scale up environmental works, including wind-power generation systems, medical welfare field, including air cleaning systems.
