The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 16,656 million, a 167% up from Yen 6,238 million in the previous term.  The production has expanded for the second term.  The operations incurred a deficit, due to heavy investment costs, as the firm says, to register Yen 9,731 million recurring loss and Yen 9,685 million net losses for the term, compared with Yen 180 million recurring profit and Yen 171 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the operations are expected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 5% rise in turnover, to 17,500 million.  Business is seen steadily expanding.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE  business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 291.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
