FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Jun/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 36,629 million, a 7% up from Yen 34,387 million in the previous term, due partially to the weaker Yen against foreign currencies.  Price hikes for fishery products also contributed.  Profits improved.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 503 million and the net profit at Yen 252 million, respectively, compared with Yen 233 million recurring profit and Yen 109 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Jun 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 510 million and the net profit at Yen 255 million, respectively, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 37,500 million.  Business is reportedly on the uptrend.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,135.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
