HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established as an aircraft mfr and later diversified into mfg other than aircraft, such as: aircraft components, light alloy structural materials, tank trucks, bulk trucks, honeycomb cores, electric vehicles, other. (See OPERATION).  Also engaged in property leasing, the one in front of Akishima railway station is major earnings source.  Fostering electric cars, too.  Also operates golf links, which is contributing to profits.  Started construction of 3 commercial buildings in this term, with completion slated for in Mar 2010.  Clients are airline industries, heavy machinery mfrs, other, nationwide.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 25,299 million, a 0.2% up from Yen 25,245 million in the previous term.  While sales of fuel trucks & airframe equipment for delivery to Defense Ministry were in order, sales of airport-relate equipment was slow.  Honeycombs, aluminum panels & composite materials were steady.  By divisions, Transportation-related Div down 2.5% to Yen 8,947 million.  Real Estate Div was up 3.8% to Yen 7,038 million, thanks to full term contribution of commercial buildings started leasing during the previous term.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,034 million and the net profit at Yen 522 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,182 million recurring profit and Yen 524 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Profits declined due to rising costs of materials & operations.

           

(Apr/Jun/2008 results): sales Yen 5,400 million (-8.4%), operating profit Yen 219 million       (-48.2%),recurring profit Yen 118 million (-62.7%), net profit Yen 23 million (-87.4$).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  The sales decline is referred largely to the delivery slippage of new-type large trailers and airframe composite components into the next term, according to the firm.  Private-sector demand for Honeycomb-structured panels has decreased due to         

adverse changes in the market conditions.  Hence, sales of the division were down 7.1% to Yen      1,598 million.  Real Estate was up 0.4% to Yen 1,741 million thanks to increased sales at shopping malls.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 800 million and the net profit at Yen 450 million, respectively, on a 5.1% fall in turnover, to Yen 24,000 million. Market conditions still continue unfavorable as stated above. Occupancies of real estate leasing stay at 100%. Started construction of 3 commercial building as above. Stressing to boost earnings in real estate business with development of nonperforming land.  Targeting breakeven at transportation equipment production in Mar 2012 term.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and should be good for ORDINARY business       engagements.    Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 624.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
