HIGHLIGHTS

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 521,832 million, a 3.6% up from Yen 503,527 million in the previous term.  Exports grew reflecting the economic recovery in China as well as the turnaround in private consumption kindled by the Japanese Government’s stimulus package.  Sales of splicers were brisk, while connectors incurred deficit due to increased unprofitable products.  By divisions, Telecommunications up 4.7% to Yen 112,300 million; Electronics & Electrical Equipment down 6.4% to Yen 195,100 million; Cables & Equipment up 12.0% to Yen 195,400 million, due to the price hike of material copper.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 18,397 million and the net profit at Yen 9,383 million, respectively, compared with Yen 16,529 million recurring profit and Yen 2,567 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 12,000 million and the net profit at Yen 6,000 million, on a 9.2% rise in turnover, to Yen 570,000 million.  Full-term earnings of FPC’s for smart phones will recover.  A wholly owned Thai car electronics subsidiary that was established in Apr 2010 will make a contribution for the full-term.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 14,541.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
