FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Dec/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 380 million, a 20% sharp rise from Yen 315 million in the previous term.  This was thanks to the recovery in related industries that spurred demand.  The net profit, on the other hand, decreased to Yen 4 million from Yen 9 million a year ago, due to skyrocketing fuel oil prices and materials costs.

 

For the term just ended Dec 2006 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 4 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 400 million.  Materials costs keep rising, eating into profits.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
