FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,557,802 million, a 3.3% up from Yen 1,507,505 million in the previous term.  Mainline printing weighed down by price cuts and paper price hikes.  By divisions, Information/Communications up 1.0% to Yen 668,800 million; Life style industry up 11.0% to Yen 532,700 million, thanks to increased production of inks for Fax machines; Electronics up 1.6% to Yen 291,900 million; Nonalcoholic beverages down 3.0% to Yen 74,100 million, due to competition on prices.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 101,348 million and the net profit at Yen 54,841 million, respectively, compared with Yen 124,715 million recurring profit and Yen 65,187 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Hike of fuel prices and materials costs ate into profits. 

 

 (Apr/Sept/2007 results): Sales Yen 793,886 million (up 6.8%), operating profit Yen 40,322 million (down 15.8%), recurring profit Yen 41,523 million (down 18.7%), net profit Yen 21,839 million (down 14.8%).  Stepping up to streamlining measures but operating profit continuing fall due to higher depreciation cost following change in depreciation method.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 125,000 million and the net profit at Yen 67,000 million, on a 7.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,620,000 million. New filter plant will start full-capacity operations.  IC cards will grow.  Commercial printing will fare well.            Profits will improve.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained GOOD and responsible for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 68,331.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
