COMMENT    

 

MFR OF WOOKWORKING MACHINES. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT

 

YEN 194.6 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

                        Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2009 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is mfr of veneer/wood working machines.  Also produces construction materials for homes. Now restructuring, including centralized mfg at Komaki Plant at the caption address.   Help from local prominent companies includes personnel sent from Tokai Bank (now MUFG). Depressed veneer industry hinders reconstruction.  Ratio for exports to S/E Asia and USA high  at 20.5% of total sales.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 7,224 million, a 3% up from Yen 7,019 million in the previous term.  Exports rose 26.1% to Yen 1,483 million.  Veneer machines down 0.5% to Yen 1,024 million; woodworking machines up 31.8% to 1,104 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,103 million and the net profit at Yen 618 million, respectively, compared with Yen 420 million recurring profit and Yen 274 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Higher materials/fuel oils costs were absorbed adequately by the increased sales & exports.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 480 million       and the net profit at Yen 265 million, on a 1.7% fall in turnover, to Yen 7,100 million.  Higher      materials/fuel costs will hinder sales growth.  Domestic housing market will be slow.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 194.6 million, on 30        days normal terms.
