For the current term ending Mar 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 300 million, on a 1% rise in turnover, to Yen 9,350 million.  Housing market remains still slow to recover.

           

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 8.7 million, 30 days terms, recommending secured terms on new transactions.
