HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company is a time-honored, medium-sized mfr of  comprehensive machine       tools, producing NC lathes, ordinary lathes and MCs.  Has overseas sales & production bases in          Taiwan & China (Shanghai).  Overseas subsidiaries are also in USA, UK, Thailand and India.      Automakers are main users.  In 2003, acquired by investment fund Phoenix Capital.              Construction of new plant under way, scheduled to finish Mar 2009 term.  Planning to boost             production capacity for NC-multifunctional equipment by 30% to meet stronger demand in India             and other overseas markets.  About 40% of the products are exported.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2000 fiscal term amounted to Yen 26,805 million, a 0.5% down from Yen 26,941 million in the previous term.  Demand from automakers, major clients, slowed after the peak period last year.  The received orders were down 1.5% to Yen 720,800 million.  Overseas sales fared well.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 3,708 million and the net profit at Yen 2,000 million, respectively, compared with Yen 3,899 million recurring profit and Yen 1,989 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  SOX-related expenses and up-front costs on new plants posed heavy burden on earnings.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 3,640 million    and the net profit at Yen 1,923 million, on a similar turnover, to Yen 27,000 million.  New orders   for automakers will likely recover, with exports continuing rising.  Reportedly, the firm’s estimates of flat sales and profits are rather conservative. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business          engagements.    Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 865.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
