FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Sept/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 28,399 million, a 29.7% down from Yen 40,443 million in the previous term.  Lost one large-lot buyer of soybeans due to its bankruptcy in the preceding term.  Soybean prices declined and had to sell large stocks for oil mill use instead.  Sales declined in all segments.  By Divisions, Agricultural Products down 52.6% to Yen 5,250 million; Foods down 26.0% to Yen 13,808 million; Living Materials down 12.7% to Yen 4,476 million; New Business Development down 12.9% to Yen 4,863 million, due to disrupted supply chains by the North East Earthquake and exports declined.  The recurring loss was posted at Yen 597 million and the net profit at Yen 39 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,369 million recurring loss and Yen 2,774 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.  Posted extraordinary profits of Yen 647 million, coming from the disposal of fixed assets and recovered bankruptcy costs of the client, other.  Increased the capital to Yen 1,249 million from the previous Yen 1,149 million.

 

(Oct/2010-Dec/2011 results): Sales Yen 5,541 million (down 38.1%), operating loss Yen 76 million (previously Yen 159 million loss), recurring loss Yen 111 million (previously Yen 222 million), net loss Yen 119 million (previously Yen 218 million loss).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

 

For the current term ending Sept 2012 the operations are projected to come back to profitability to post Yen 83 million recurring profit and Yen 79 million net profit, respectively, on an 8.4% fall in turnover, to Yen 26,000 million.  Withdrew from unprofitable processed meat and some low-priced vegetable businesses.  High Yen continues to hurt sales in Yen terms.

 

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