The sales volume for Jan/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 287 million, a 14% down from Yen 333 million in the previous term.  Exports decreased as affected by stronger Yen.  The net profit was posted at Yen 1 million, compared with Yen 3 million a year ago. 

 

For the current term ending Jan 2009 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 9% fall in turnover, to Yen 260 million.  Exports are expected to further decline due to the recent financial crisis world over.
