For the current term ending Jun 2009 the net profit is projected at Yen 40 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,400 million.  The firm expects the sales to grow 10% by the introduction of new instruments & gauges.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.            Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 24.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
