FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 33,260 million, a 3.1% up from Yen 32,257 million in the previous term.  Domestic demand was slow as construction works decreased due to stricter building standards regulations enacted, while China-bound sales expanded supported by robust construction works particularly prior to the Olympic Games in 2008.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 3,171 million and the net profit at Yen 1,646 million, respectively, compared with Yen 2,936 million recurring profit and Yen 1,755 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Operating profits grew sluggishly as depreciation costs doubling.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 3,100 million and the net profit at Yen 1,750 million, on a 2.3% fall in turnover, to Yen 32,500 million.  Domestic demand will continue slowly.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 698.1 million, on 30 days normal terms.
