FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Dec/2009 fiscal term amounted to Yen 650 million, a 24% drop from Yen 850 million in the previous term.  Economic downturn has kept away consumers from purchasing luxuries that are not for immediate needs.  Wealthy people, who had to buy luxury watches and the like, are holding off on making new purchases, according to the Japan Department Stores Association.  Department store sales fell 9.5% to 14% in Apr 2009.  Sales of art, jewelry and other big-ticket nosedived 18.5% in Dec 2008.  Miki Corp, which operates jewelry store chains, filed for bankruptcy protection with the Tokyo District Court on 21/01/2009, saddled with debts of about Yen 11.7 billion.  Yen’s advance against US Dollars also affected the sales negatively in Yen terms.  The net profit was posted at Yen 6 million, compared with Yen 8 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2010 the net profit is projected at Yen 5 million, on a 3% fall in turnover, to Yen 630 million.  Consumer spending continues sluggish.  Department store sales fell 10% in Dec 2009, the Japan Department Stores Assn reported.  Department store closures could hit all-time high this year.  Hit by slumping sales, major department store operators are being forced to close unprofitable sites.  At least eight department stores are expected to shut down this year, approaching the record 11 stores closed in 2000.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
