The sales volume for Oct/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,633 million, a 5% down from Yen 1,720 million in the previous term.  Price competition was severe affecting sales.  The operations, however, came back from deficit to register Yen 20 million net profit for the term.  The previous term posted Yen 38 million net losses, coming from inventory adjustment.

 

For the current term ending Oct 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 21 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,700 million.

           

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 24.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
