FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Apr/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 290 million, a 37% sharp rise from Yen 211 million in the previous term.  Newly started online shop sold well.  The net profit was posted at Yen 3 million, compared with Yen 2 million a year ago.

 

For the term ended Apr 2007 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 3 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 300 million.  This is thought purely the result of weaker Yen uprising sales in Yen terms.  Sales volumes are reported remained almost similar in the previous term.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 5.4 million, on normal 30 days terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capacities.
