FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Feb/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,834 million, a 17% up from Yen 1,572 million in the previous term.  Rising demand from new condominiums contributed as the housing market revived.  Weaker Yen also assisted to uplift sales in Yen terms.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 25 million and the net profit at Yen 10 million, respectively, compared with Yen 29 million recurring profit and Yen 3 million net profit a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Feb 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 30 million and the net profit at Yen 11 million, respectively, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,950 million.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 16.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered within the firm’s financial capabilities.
