HIGHLIGHTS

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,559 million, a sharp 27% up from Yen 4,362 million in the previous term.  This was thanks to robust transportation needs to and from China, where demand for steel, steel products, other raw materials rose sharply.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 94 million and the net profit at Yen 63 million, respectively, compared with Yen 110 million recurring profit and Yen 60 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 95 million and the net profit at Yen 65 million, respectively, on an 8% rise in turnover, to Yen 6,000 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 71.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
