FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 135,633 million, a 2.9% up from Yen 131,800 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the recovery of industrial activities domestically, added to robust demand in China and other S/E Asian countries, particularly in auto and electronics industries.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,055 million and the net profit at Yen 1,100 million, respectively, compared with Yen 2,360 million and Yen 1,332 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Profits deteriorated due to the steep rise in fuel oil prices and materials costs.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 2,050 million and the net profit at Yen 1,100 million, on a 2.9% rise in turnover, to Yen 139,500 million.  Demand for industrial chemicals will continue rising from auto & electronics industries.

 

First Half results ending Sept/2006: Sales Yen 68,736 million (up 2.4%), recurring profit Yen 1,202 million (down 8.2%), net profit Yen 650 million (-12.0%).  (% compared with the same period the previous term).  Rising fuel oil prices and materials costs continued to erode profits.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 2,154.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
