FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Aug/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 516 million, a 1.2% up from Yen 510 million in the previous term.  The operations plunged into red to register Yen 5 million net losses for the term.  This is reportedly referred to the evaluation losses of products for orders received prior to materials costs hikes.

 

For the current term ending Aug 2008 the operations are projected to come back to profitability to Yen 2 million net profit, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 530 million.  Newly received orders from South America will contribute.  Weaker Yen will also assist to raise sales in Yen terms.

           

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 9.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
