FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 5,000 million and the net profit at Yen 3,800 million, on a 14.3% rise in turnover, to Yen 110,000 million.  In N America, new product of heat exchangers for automobile will contribute.  Heat exchangers for construction machinery will continue to be exported to N America.
