FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 84,938 million, a 30% down from Yen 121,882 in the previous term.  The term began amid a murky economic outlook stemming from the global economic downturn that ensued from Lehman Brothers’ collapse in the previous autumn.  Exports declined substantially because of a decline in demand and the appreciation of the Yen.  Furthermore, amid a sharp deterioration in corporate earnings, capital expenditure fell significantly, and consumer spending became sluggish.  Machine tool orders tumbled 73.1% in June 2009, according to data released by the Japan Machine Tool Builders’ Assn.  Domestic orders nose-dived 74.7%, while overseas orders shrank 71.7%.  The operations continued in the deficit to register Yen 189 million recurring loss and Yen 845 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 1,834 million recurring loss and Yen 2,912 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2011 the operations are expected to come back to profitability and the recurring profit is projected at Yen 1,000 million and the net profit at Yen 1,000 million, respectively, on a 12% rise in turnover, to Yen 95,000 million.  Market is seen revived.  Machine tool orders soared 220% in April 2010, according to data the Japan Machine Tool Builders’ Assn released.  Domestic demand expanded 90%, while overseas demand jumped 350%.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3,642.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
