HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the leading producer of pigments & coloring agents for synthetic resins & fibers.  Also manufactures printing ink.  Depends heavily on automobile and household electric appliance     industries.  Overseas factories particularly in China are active.  New synthetic resin colorant plant in Vietnam will begin operation in Jan/2008.  The facility will produce 600 tons of resin colorants a year along with 10,800 tons of color compounds.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 170,236 million, an 11% up from Yen 153,036 million in the previous term.  Domestic sales rose by 8.5% to Yen 134,361 million, spurred by robust demand for coloring agents (for functional synthetic resins) from auto makers, home electronic appliance mfrs, other.  Sales also rose in Asia, etc on strength of factory expansion in Thailand and China.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 8,980 million and the net profit at Yen 4,546 million, respectively, compared with Yen 9,098 million recurring profit and Yen 4,912 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The profit decrease is referred to the written-off of fixed assets disposal losses as extraordinary losses. 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 9,600 million and the net profit at Yen 5,600 million, on a 2.8% rise in turnover, to Yen 175,000 million. Coloring  agents for automobiles, home electric appliances and OA equipment will be performing well in Asian    markets. Domestic sales will grow steadily led by LCD-use pigments.  High materials prices will be offset by shift to HVA products.  Completion of new coloring agent plant construction (20,000 ton/year capacity) in Vietnam slightly delayed to Dec/07, but planning to boost production subse-quently.  Expansion of plants in China peaking out.

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business     engagements.    Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3,423.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
