HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company is a leading carburetor mfr, affiliated with Toyota Motor Corp (See REGISTRATION). Electronic fuel injection parts as mainline.  Third in engine valves. Emphasis         on application of electronic technology.  Diversifying into other lines, such as parking systems, deodorizing equipment etc.  Overseas investment aggressive.  Orders from VW of Germany on the rise, putting its revenues all time high.  Expanding sales to other than Toyota Motor, with non-Toyota sales growing to nearly 40% due partly to lower unit sale price to Toyota.  Reportedly, technical assistance agreement for fuel pumps signed with Russian automakers, DSK and Motorika.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 156,693 million, a 13.2% up from Yen 138,385 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to higher automobile production together with strengthening sales activities targeting car mfrs throughout the world.  Engine parts expanded backed by Toyota’s accelerating production hike.  Unit prices of canisters rose due to tighter regulations in N America.  Core items of throttle bodies, fuel pump module and canisters continued in rising demand.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 7,381 million and the net profit at Yen 4,029 million, respectively, compared with Yen 7,137 million recurring profit and Yen 4,250 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The deteriorated net profit reflects steep rise in materials prices, including fuel oil prices, increased expenses for quality assurance in line with rapidly expanded production, offsetting effects of sales increase & cost-reduction efforts company-wide.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 7,700 million and the net profit at Yen 3,100 million, on a 10.4% rise in turnover, to Yen 173,000 million.  Engine parts continuing growth, led by production boost by Toyota.

 

First Half results ending Sept/2006: Sales Yen 84,886 million (up 13.9%), operational profit Yen 3,780 million (16.2%), recurring profit Yen 3,852 million (21.6%), net profit Yen 696 million (down 60.2%).  (% compared with the same period previous term).  Demand for core items of fuel pump modules, canisters and throttle bodies continued rising.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 5,866.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
