FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 67,691 million, a 2% down from Yen 68,983 million in the previous term.  Sales were affected by the global economic downturn particularly in the first half of the term.  Consumer spending was sluggish.  Exports were hurt by the high Yen, reducing earnings & profits in Yen terms.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,006 million and the net profit at Yen 410 million, respectively, compared with Yen 956 million recurring profit and Yen 525 million net profits, respectively, a year earlier.  .

 

For the term that ended Mar 2011 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 1,000 million and the net profit at Yen 420 million, respectively, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 69,000 million.  Consumer spending was normalized.  Exports recovered.  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 727.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
