FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Aug/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 13,351 million, a 2% down from Yen 13,575 million in the previous term.  Sales were slow to expand with price competitions among the trade getting harsher.  Lower-priced imports are increasing.  The profits were improved, on the other hand, to register Yen 381 million recurring profit and Yen 163 million net profit, respectively, compared with Yen 257 million recurring profit and Yen 127 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Cost-saving efforts resulted.

 

For the current term ending Aug 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 165 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 14,000 million.  Demand is seen increasing.  Exports from China & Hong Kong will increase.  Weaker Yen will help increase sales in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 581.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
