FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 45,916 million, an 8.7% down from Yen 50,307 million in the previous term.  The mainline FPD (flat panel display) related products and semiconductor related products were extremely down.  Particularly FPD-related products were met with harsh price competition among the trade.  The operations plunged into the red to register Yen 2,376 million recurring loss and Yen 1,462 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 1,286 million recurring profit and Yen 326 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Increased depreciation costs plus hikes in materials & fuel oils deeply ate into profits.  Posted Yen 2,915 million extraordinary losses for the term.

 

(Apr/Sept/2008 results): Sales Yen 22,735 million (down 2.0%), operating loss Yen 188 million (from Yen 1,240 million losses), recurring loss Yen 300 million (from 1,348 million loss), net loss Yen 519 million (from 895 million loss).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Semiconductor-related products continued under downward pressure.  Posted extraordinary losses of asset impairment for Yen 4,030 million.  Partially closed down factory operations for FPD & semiconductor-related products operations due to unfavorable markets.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 100 million and the net profit at Yen 1,100 million, respectively, on a 0.18% rise in turnover, to Yen 46,000 million.  The firm revised down the forecast as above from the earlier projections of Yen 50,000 million.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 536.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
