FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 15,082 million, a 5.2% up from Yen 14,388 million in the previous term.  Robust demand from automakers continued, offsetting slow demand from woodworking, furniture and auto-repairing industries.  New products for IT-related industry also contributed.  Exports continued rising into China and other Asian countries.  Exports were up 4% to Yen 3,958 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,251 million and the net profit at Yen 709 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,072 million recurring profit and Yen 657 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

 

(Apr/Dec/2007 results): Sales Yen 11,610 million (up 0.9%), operating profit Yen 1,025 million (up 4.0%), recurring profit Yen 1,059 million (up 4.8%), net profit Yen 681 million (up 4.5%). (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Domestic demand fell due to decreased demand from automakers.  Woodworking industry was dull.  Exports continued fair into China and USA where market widened into new areas.  Exports were up 5.7% over the previous period.   

           

For the term just ended Mar 2008 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 1,280 million      and the net profit at Yen 750 million, respectively, on a 0.8% rise in turnover, to Yen 15,200 million.
