FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The revenues for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 46,363 million, a 20% up from Yen 38,544 million in the previous term.  This is thanks to the robust demand for chemicals/ vegetable oils/fats particularly in China and other Asian countries.  Hike in ocean freight rates also contributed.  The recurring profit rose to Yen 4,391 million from Yen 2,742 million and the net profit to Yen 2,742 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,984 million recurring profit and Yen 1,153 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The sales growth offset skyrocketing fuel oil costs and other operational expenses.

 

For the term just ended Mar 2008 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 4,500 million and net profit at Yen 2,850 million, respectively, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 48,500 million.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 2,423.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
