HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established in order to mfr centrifugal separators on technical tie up with Sharpless Corp, USA.  Pioneer in this field with D-canter model holding 50% domestic market share.  Active in overseas operations covering China, India, Indonesia, other S/E Asian markets, emphasizing on petrochemical, food and sewage treatment industries.  Diversified into trading of petrochemical products, which division now accounts for 74% of total sales.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Oct/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 47,331 million, a 0.8% up from Yen 46,935 million in the previous term.  By divisions, machinery div dipped 3.8% to 12,117 million.  While the domestic sales grew 33.4% from previously due to the recovery of public works centering on renewal & expansion demand for sewage treatment plants, overseas markets dipped 33.4% from the previous term.  This was due to the slippage of large-lot projects overseas into the next term.  Machinery sales were down.  Chemicals up by 2.6% to Yen 35,214 million, thanks to increased sales of synthetic resins materials & products into China, and domestically expanded sales of electronics-related materials and for other industries.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,222 million and the net profit at Yen 1,267 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,955 million recurring profit and Yen 1,139 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

           

For the current term ending Oct 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 2,400 million    and the net profit at Yen 1,300 million, on a 1.4% rise in turnover, to Yen 48,000 million.  In the machinery division, Terephthale Acid Plant, newly ordered from Mitsubishi Chemical in India will contribute.  Separators sales will continue rising as renewal & expansion works are expected to grow.  Chemical division will slow due to expected sales decline in China from the withdrawal of Japan’s Shenzhen factory production of OA equipment from China to switch to other areas.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,773.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
