COMMENT

 

MFR OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES, AFFILIATED TO.HITACHI LTD

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,616 million, a 29% down from Yen 2,273 million in the previous term.  Car mfrs were hurt by the global economic downturn that continued.  The operations continued in the red to register Yen 5,780 million recurring loss and Yen 6,981 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 5,549 million recurring loss and Yen 9,994 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2012 the operations were projected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,700 million.  Final results are yet to be released.

 

The financial situation is considered WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.
