HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established in order to mfr centrifugal separators on technical tie up with Sharpless Corp, USA.  Pioneer in this field with D-canter model holding 50% domestic market share. The firm operates in three business segments: Machinery & Equipment segment engaged in mfg and sale of centrifuge decanter, the provision of after service, as well as the proc-easing and sale of components; Chemical Products segment is engaged in mfg and sale of films, nylon insert lock nuts, plastic surface treatment machines, inorganic materials, organic materials, ceramics, thermal insulators, metallic materials, carbon-graphite & bonding wires, etc; Others segment is engaged in the delivery and sore management of products.  Active in overseas opera- tins covering China, India, Indonesia, other S/E Asian markets, emphasizing on petrochemical, food and sewage treatment industries.  Diversified into trading of petrochemical products, which division now accounts for 71% of total sales.  Reported the firm is receiving active enquiries for abrasive grain collecting equipment for collecting & recycling waste water containing silicon for solar           batteries and semiconductors.  Also reported the firm is considering development of new centrifugal         separators for turning sludges & industrial wastes into fuel.

 

Notes: Regarding legal problems as indicated in your inquiry, we have not heard or openly circulated in the market of any material legal problems to the best of our knowledge.  No outside sources report any of such problems, either.

           

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Oct/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 50,795 million, a 7.3% up from Yen 47,331 million in the previous term.  By divisions, Machinery Div up 20.1% to Yen 14,547 million, thanks to robust exports plus domestic private sector demand; Chemicals Div up 2.9% to Yen 36,247 million, demand for synthetic resins in China being rather slow, while special orders for new products and industrial chemicals grew. The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,554 million and the net profit at Yen 1,357 million, respectively, compared with Yen 2,222 million recurring profit and Yen 1,267 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

           

(Nov/2007/Jul/2008 results): Sales Yen 35,495 million (down 1.6%), operating profit Yen      2,024 million (up23.9%), recurring profit Yen 2,160 million (up 25.3%), net profit Yen 1,150 million (up 26.6%) (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Domestically, orders for plastic separators rose, and overseas grain collecting systems grew in China, plus chemical machinery parts & repairing works grew in other Asia.      

 

For the current term ending Oct 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 2,650 million    and the net profit at Yen 1,450 million, respectively, on a 2.4% fall in turnover, to Yen 49,570 million. New orders for centrifugal separators from domestic & overseas customers will increase, while chemical products, such as synthetic resins, may recede.  Higher materials prices may erode profits, but gross profit margin will improve, aided by increased materials procurement shift to imports.          Operating profits inching up, thanks partly to thanks partly to startup of sub in Shenzhen (China.)

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,825.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
