COMMENT

 

AIRLINE COMPANY.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 1,818.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS..

 

Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2007 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the Japan’s fourth airline company operating regular domestic flights to/from Haneda Airport.  Attracting passengers with discount tickets, 50% lower than other leading airline operators.  Noted for low-cost management.  Operations are being restructured.  In Jul 2005, withdrew from Tokyo/Seoul (Inchon) charter flight services due to unprofitability.  In Mar 2006, terminated

Tokyo/Kansai route service.  Higher fuel prices weighing heavily on profits.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 35,694 million, a 14.2% up from Yen 13,029 million for irregular 5 months in the previous term.  The operations dipped into the red to post Yen 1,169 million recurring loss and Yen 701 million net loss, respectively, compares with Yen 258 million recurring profit and Yen 1,677 million net loss, respectively, a year ago.  Higher fuel costs, introduction of new aircrafts, increasing engine maintenance/repairing charges eroded profits.

 

First Half results ending Sept/2006: sales Yen 18,914 million (up 2.5% from previous term), operating loss Yen 2,650 million, recurring loss Yen 2,542 million, net loss Yen 2,609 million.

 

For the current term ending Mar the operations are projected to continue in the red to post Yen 1,800 million recurring loss and Yen 2,000 million net loss, respectively, on a 14.9% rise in turnover to Yen 41,000 million.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business     engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,818.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
