FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 101,892 million, a 12.2% up from Yen 90,792 million in the previous term.  NXT model increased led by robust demand from cellular phones, notebook PC’s and digital home appliances.  By divisions, Electronic Parts Assemblers Div up 23.3% to Yen 78,442 million; Machine Tools Div down 20.0% to Yen 18,708 million, affected by postponed equipment installation in automobile industry, the target of the products; LCD Assembly Machinery Div up 42.7% to Yen 3,483 million, boosted by robust demand from the largest domestic LCD mfr for mid- & small-size LCD’s.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 18,779 million and the net profit at Yen 11,467 million, respectively, compared with Yen 11,711 million recurring profit and Yen 11,264 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The profit improvement reflects the effects of cost reduction, etc by means of efficiency improvement in production.

 

(Apr/Jun/2007 results): Sales Yen 27,977 million (up 2.%), operating profit Yen 5,857 million (up 29.8%), recurring profit Yen 6,178 million (up 36.6%), net profit Yen 3,707 million (up 47.7%). (% compared with the same period last year).  Demand for electronic parts assemblers rose in China, Taiwan and other S/E Asia, supported by increasing demand from cellular phones, notebook PC’s, flat panel TV’s and other electronics makers. 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 16,400 million and the net profit at Yen 9,500 million, on an almost similar turnover, at Yen 102,000 million.  While demand for electronic parts assemblers remains at high level, led by demand for mainstay module-type, high-speed multinational models, price-cut competition will intensify and profitability will worsen, hit by higher material costs.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4,007.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
