HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Hitachi Ltd as its procurement division (See RE-GISTRATION for Hitachi ltd).  This is a procurement division of Hitachi Ltd for import, export and   wholesale of electronic parts, others for the Hitachi group firms.  Also engaged in staffing services for group firms.  Products are exported to Hitachi Ltd subsidiary factories, too.  Clients are Hitachi             Ltd and its group firms.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 7,516 million, a 10% up from Yen 10 million in the previous term.  The rising prices of materials costs contributed.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 443 million and the net profit at Yen 259 million, respectively, compared with Yen 529 million recurring profit and Yen 294 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Profits deteriorated due to rising cost of operations.

 

For the current term ending Mar the recurring profit is projected at Yen 450 million and the net profit at Yen 270 million, respectively, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 7,900 million.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.            Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 22.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
