FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,933 million, an 8% up from Yen 1,782 million in the previous term.  This was thanks to rising demand for electronics parts & components from the related industries.  Newly marketed wheel chair fixing equipment fared well and contributed to the sales growth.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 12 million, resulting in Yen 12 million net profit for the term.

 

For the term ended Mar 2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 12 million, on a 3.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,000 million.  Final results have not been made available in full.
