FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 115,778 million, a 15% down from Yen 136,474 million in the previous term, as substantially affected by the global economic downturn, particularly in the first half of the term.  Exports were hurt by the high, reducing revenues & profits in Yen terms.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,142 million, while posting net losses of Yen 49 million, writing off Yen 1,523 million extraordinary losses coming from the damage of North East Japan Earthquake.  This compares with Yen 4,960 million recurring profit and Yen 2,728 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2011 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 2,200 million and the net profit at Yen 2,000 million, respectively, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 120,000 million.  Main profit-earner watches were in a good shape growth both at home and abroad.  Final results are yet to be released. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,626.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
