FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financial are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Jul/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,500 million, an 11% down from Yen 6,200 million in the previous term.  Hurt by sluggish consumer spending.  Luxury goods were not in much demand.  Moderate priced goods were more in demand.  The net profit declined to Yen 130 million from Yen 180 million a year ago.  We correct the last year’s profit to Yen 180 million from the Yen 200 million as reported.

 

For the current term ending Jul 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 140 million, on a 9% rise in turnover, to Yen 6,000 million.  Consumer spending is seen recovering.  Weaker Yen will also contribute to sales growth in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 105 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capacities.
