FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 9,864 million, a 6.9% up from Yen 9,230 million in the previous term.  Exports of diaphragm pumps, mainstay item, were robust into N America & S/E Asian countries.  As a result, Industrial Equipment Div was up 16.5% to Yen 5,793 million; while Auto Equipment Div down 7.4% to Yen 3,076 million, due to decreased sales domestically of exhaust gas reels, lubricators, chlorofluoro carbon recovery systems, etc, hit by depressed new model car sales in domestic market.  Sales in USA & Canada were up by Yen 36 million to Yen 1,596 million.  Overseas sales accounted for 35.2% of total group sales.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 787 million and the net profit at Yen 243 million, respectively, compared with Yen 678 million recurring profit and Yen 341 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

 

(Apr/Jun/2007 results): Sales Yen 2,549 million (up 13.3%), operating profit Yen 251 (up 8.5%), recurring profit Yen 255 million (up 119.8%), net profit Yen 160 million (up 187.8%).  (% compared with the same period a year ago).  Automotive Div up 5.9% to Yen 738 million, thanks to the recovery of waste gas exhaust hose reels market, others.  Industrial Equipment Div up 16.5% to Yen 1,536 million, aided by increased sales of the mainstay diaphragm pumps & accessories.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 830 million and the net profit at Yen 350 million, on a 4.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 10,310 million.  Exports of pumps for mines faring well on the back of higher resources prices.  Automotive maintenance equipment for dealers and maintenance shops may struggle.  Higher material aluminum prices may not be covered sufficiently by product price hike. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 222.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
