COMMENT

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 321 million, a 3.3% down from Yen 332 million in the previous term.  Price competition is getting severer, despite steady demand continuing.  The operations came back to profitability to register Yen 1 million net profit for the term.  This compares with Yen 2 million net losses the previous year.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 9% recovery in turnover, to Yen 350 million.  Demand is said steady.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3.9 million, 30 days, we recommending guarantee from the parent, Ikegami Tsushinki Co Ltd.  Net Worth is below the paid-in capital.
