FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 14,282 million, a 16% up from Yen 12,364 million in the previous term, thanks to the rising & stronger demand from steel and other industries on the back of expanded economic activities in China and other S/E Asian countries.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 628 million and the net profit at Yen 290 million, respectively, compared with Yen 613 million recurring profit and Yen 313 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Net profit decreased from higher production costs affected by skyrocketing fuel oil & other prices.

 

For the term ended Mar 2008 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 630 million and the net profit at Yen 290 million, respectively, on a 10% rise in turnover, to Yen 15,700 million.  The economic environment continues still favorable to achieve higher sales & profits.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 451.0 million.
