FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are consolidated by SBS Holdings Inc and only partial figures are disclosed.  Consolidated Financials are as attached (See SUPPLEMENTS)

 

The sales volume for Sept/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 8,400 million, a 3% down from Yen 8,700 million in the previous term.  This is referred to wide-spread sales of recycled tonner inks & cartridges at lower prices.  The firm handles only genuine make of Canon, Epson, Ricoh, other.  The net profit was said posted at Yen 5 million, compared with Yen 10 million a year ago.  Hike in materials and operations deteriorated profits.

 

For the term just ended Sept 2008 the net profit was projected at Yen 5 million, on a similar turnover, at Yen 8,400 million.  The business slump triggered by financial crisis created in USA and spreading worldwide has been dragging down sales.  

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 147 million, on 30 days normal terms.
