Financial are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Jul/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,000 million, a 9% down from Yen 5,500 million in the previous term.  Hurt by sluggish consumer spending.  Luxury goods were not much in demand.  Rather moderate priced goods were more in demand from younger generations.  The net profit remained similar at Yen 130 million.

 

For the current term ending Jul 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 130 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 5,200 million.  Consumer spending is seen recovering. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
