HIGHLIGHTS

           

            This is the largest mfr of offset printing machines founded originally in 1923 as lithographic printing machinery mfr.  The only producer of printing equipment for domestic currency.  Overseas sales ratio is high with marketing-maintenance service subs in USA, Europe, Asia, etc.  Highly competitive in sheet-fed offset presses, computerized equipment and money printing machines.  Export ratio high.  The firm strives to win orders for sheet-fed offset presses in inland area in China.  It will send additional technical experts to China to assist local sales agencies.  It will further shift to low-prices imported parts.  The company may start collaboration with overseas firms, such as production consignment, in the next term.  It intends to commercialize digital printing machines suitable for multi-variety, small lot production and on-demand printing in spring 2012, and will start to cultivate demand in the developed countries.  Domestic clients include Ministry of Finance, printing houses, nationwide.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 72,234 million, a 5.1% up from Yen 68,718 million in the previous term.  In Japan capital expenditure showed positive growth against a backdrop of improved corporate earnings.  Personal consumption also gained momentum due to the government’s economic stimulus package.  Despite the signs of economic recovery, however, the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent incidents at a nuclear power station complex resulted in a rapid falloff in economic activity at the end of the fiscal year under review.  Steady economic growth was maintained in the newly emerging countries and regions, particularly India and China.  Orders received increased 24.2% to Yen 77,002 million.  The operations continued in the red to register Yen 4,853 million recurring loss and Yen 6,216 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 7,210 million recurring loss and Yen 10,501 million net loss, respectively, a year ago.  Losses include foreign exchange losses, extraordinary losses that included impairment losses of Yen 204 million and losses resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake totaling Yen 178 million.

           

            (Apr/Sept/2011 results): Sales Yen 33,197 million (down 12.1%), operating loss Yen 2,795 million (previously Yen 1,025 million loss), recurring loss Yen 3,392 million (previously Yen 2,047 million loss), net losses Yen 3,351 million (previously Yen 1,830 million loss).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago). 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the operations are projected to continue in the deficit to post Yen 4,500 million recurring loss and Yen 4,600 million net losses, respectively, o a 1.8% rise in turnover, to Yen 73,500 million.  Sales of specialty printing machines will hold steady in the newly-emerging countries.  But those of sheet-fed offset presses are likely to slum in the US and Europe.  Demand from the greater China will slow down.  Operating profit is unlikely to reach the company’s target, dampened by the negative effect of the stronger Yen, despite growth in sales of main model in the second half.  Foreign exchange loss will shrink. No extraordinary losses on the Earthquake disaster will emerge.

 

            Financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.    

Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3,585.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
