FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,450 million, a 17% down from Yen 1,750 million in the previous term.  This business is affected by sluggish consumer demand in addition to lower-priced imports from Asian countries.  The net profit was posted at Yen 15 million, compared with Yen 18 million a year ago.  .

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the net profit is projected at Yen 13 million, on a 7% fall in turnover, to Yen 1,350 million.  Consumer mind is further down due to the recent financial crisis world over.  Massive unemployment is a great concern.  Consumers tend to spend less.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 23.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
