FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Dec/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,806 million, a 2% up from Yen 2,743 million in the previous term.  Demand for the cyclone turbine precision flow meter from Korea rose on the back of boosting semiconductor industry.  Other industrial parts & components also contributed to the growth.  The net profit, on the other hand, decreased to Yen 31 million from Yen 36 million a year ago.  This is referred to the rising costs of imports and operations.

 

For the term ended Dec 2006 the net profit was projected and is believed posted at Yen 32 million, on an estimated 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,950 million.  Final results have not been made available as yet.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 64.2 million, on normal terms.
