FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 56,492 million, a 15% up from Yen 49,075 million in the previous term.  Ferro-alloy rose.  Exports of steel products to Asia were robust.  Scientific instruments into Russia were broadly increased.  As a result, operating profit was posted at Yen 2,548 million (up 17.3%), recurring profit at Yen 2,292 million (up 6.5%) and net profit at Yen 1,107 million (up 4.5%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Booked Yen 67 million extraordinary losses coming from the disposal of assets & securities.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 2,300 million and the net profit at Yen 1,100 million, respectively, on a slight rise in turnover, to Yen 57,000 million.  Original sales projection of Yen 59,000 million has been revised downward reflecting the recent international financial crisis and higher Yen against foreign currencies.  Exports will decrease, while imports will increase.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 993.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
