JAPAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

In the years following World War II, government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A tiny agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually self-sufficient in rice, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2011 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2011. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan further into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake in March disrupted manufacturing. Electricity supplies remain tight because Japan has temporarily shut down almost all of its nuclear power plants after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors were crippled by the earthquake and resulting tsunami. Estimates of the direct costs of the damage - rebuilding homes, factories, and infrastructure - range from $235 billion to $310 billion, and GDP declined almost 0.5% in 2011. Prime Minister Yoshihiko NODA has proposed opening the agricultural and services sectors to greater foreign competition and boosting exports through membership in the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade talks and by pursuing free-trade agreements with the EU and others, but debate continues on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major long-term challenges for the economy

Forecast figures for the 31/03/2013 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the high-ranking mfr of semiconductor wire bonders in the world.  Independent firm and delivers to most of IC makers.  Emphasis put more on tapes for automated bonding (TAB) for multipin ICs.  Expanding applications of bonders for LED equipment makers, etc.  Borrowings-free management.  The company will spend R&D costs mainly on flip-chip bonders in view of active inquiries from mobile semiconductor makers.  It intends to transfer wire bonder production lines to its plant in Thailand whose start-up is scheduled for spring 2013.  It will transfer extra staff in domestic plants to production of new products. .

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Mar/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 13,396 million, a 35.5% down from Yen 20,773 million in the previous term.   In the semiconductor industry, although smartphone- & tablet PC-related demand was relatively firm, market conditions worsened rapidly due to the weakened supply-demand balance from July 2011.  This resulted from sluggish demand for consume-oriented products such as PCs and LCD TVs affected by the economic slowdown throughout the world.  The operations continued in the red to register Yen 2,487 million recurring loss and Yen 4,647 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 1,158 million recurring loss and Yen 1,222 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.  A loss on disaster of Yen 320 million was posted as extraordinary loss resulting from the flooding in Thailand and income taxes-deferred of Yen 1,789 million was posted through the reversal of deferred tax assets and other means.

 

            (Apr/Jun/2012 results): Sales Yen 5,049 million (up 23.1%), operating loss Yen 56 million (previously Yen 585 million loss), recurring loss Yen 98 million (previously Yen 709 million loss), net losses Yen 155 million (previously Yen 706 million loss).  (% & figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago).

           

            For the current term ending Mar 2013 the operations are projected to continue in the deficit to post Yen 1,400 million recurring loss and Yen 1,500 million net losses, respectively, on a 4.5% rise in turnover, to Yen 14,000 million.  Curtailed capital spending by domestic semiconductor makers due to the slump in digital consumer electronics will continue.  Sales of semiconductor-mfg wire bonders will remain at a low level, despite new orders from smartphone makers in South Korea.  Operating account deficit will remain at a low level, dragged down by high R&D costs, despite reductions in costs through production outsourcing.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
