For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 3,200 million and the net profit at Yen 1,700 million, on a 6.7% rise in turnover, to Yen 73,000 million.  PVC compounds expanding, mainly in S/E Asia.  Domestically new materials are firm.  Operating profit will grow despite higher materials costs and heavier depreciation.  Net profit will hit another high.  Focusing on optical films for flat-screen TVs in new medium-term plan.  Expanding mfg capacity for PVC compounds and wrapping films in China.

Film exports rose to          Europe with PVC compounds faring well overseas.  Food wrapping films expanded in China.  Profits, on the other hand, worsened due to rising materials costs and increasing investment on new factories and depreciation costs.
