The sales volume for Jun/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 250 million, a 15% down from Yen 295 million in the previous term.  Exports slowed due to rising materials costs.  The net profit decreased to Yen 1 million, from Yen 2 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Jun 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 2 million, on an 8% rise in turnover, to Yen 270 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered within the firm’s financial capacities.
