The sales volume for Jul/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 580 million, a 2% up from Yen 568 million in the previous term.  (The figures are reported in rounded-off numbers only).  Business is seen recovering.  The previous term was severely hurt by competition among the trade with lower-priced accessories imported from China and other S/E Asian countries.  The net profit remained unchanged at Yen 1 million.

 

For the current term ending Jul/2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 590 million.  Consumer spending is recovering.  Business is seen steady moving upwards.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 10.2 million, on 30 days normal terms.
