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 small agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice production, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. 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. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen into recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan 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 and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the two years since the disaster, but reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Newly-elected Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus and regulatory reform and has said he will press the Bank of Japan to loosen monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2012 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 2012. The new government will continue a longstanding debate 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

COMMENT    

 

MFR OF MECHATRONIC PRODUCTS 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

Unit: In Million Yen

Forecast figures for the 31/03/2014 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is a major mfr of mechatronic products, including FPD and semiconductor-mfg systems.  Particularly strong in LCD-related equipment, and world’s largest maker of LCD cleaning systems.  Also produces food tickets and cigarette vending machines.  The company is despatching engineers to a semiconductor maker in Taiwan, to strengthen the relationship and expand trading of cleaning equipment.   .

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 30,399 million, a 22.8% down from Yen 39,359 million in the previous term.  Sales of TV-use LCD-mfg equipment was in slump.  The operations continued in the deficit to post Yen 358 million recurring loss and Yen 1,416 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 133 million recurring loss and Yen 394 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.

 

(Apr/June/2013 results): Sales Yen 6,830 million (up 39.1%), operating loss Yen 433 million (previously Yen 803 million loss), recurring loss Yen 604 million (previously Yen 921 million loss), net losses Yen 848 million (previously Yen 1,269 million loss).  (Figures compared with the corresponding period a year ago). 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2014 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 1,000 million and the net profit at Yen 800 million, on a 41.4% rise in turnover, to Yen 43,000 million.  Sales of large LCD-mfg equipment will fare well in China, and those of small and medium-sized ones will remain brisk in the domestic and overseas markets, backed by strong demand for smartphones.  Orders for etching devices fir logic semiconductors are likely to grow.  Demand from domestic memory makers will recover.   

 

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