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.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is the holding company formd thru management integrations between Arabia Oil (upstream company) and Fuji Oil (downstream company for oil refining) in Jun 2003.  Subsidiary Fuji Oil has oil refinery in Sodegaura City, Chiba-Pref, supplying petroleum products to Tokyo area. Arabia Oil engages in oil and natural gas exploration and production.  Has high-performance residual oil cracking systems.  The company carried out a quadrennial regular facility repays at Sodegaura Refinery from May to June in 2013.  It pulled out of the development project virtually, though a long-term purchase contract from Kuwait remains.  It is going to merge Fuji Oil Co to shift to a business firm in Oct 2013.   .

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

            The sales volume for Mar/2013 fiscal term amounted to Yen 780,028 million, an 11% up from Yen 701,850 million in the previous term.  Oil &gas development was under break-even point.  Petroleum refining benefitted from market turn around in second half, but operating profit declined.  Forex gains were posted in non-operating account.  Net account was in deficit, pulled down by impairment loss on development projects.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 3,277 million and the net loss at Yen 13,025 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,305 million recurring profit and Yen 3,371 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

 

            (Apr/Jun/2013 results): Sales Yen 128,651 million (down 29.8%), operating loss Yen 2,998 million (previously Yen 10,464 million loss), recurring loss Yen 3,305 million (previously Yen 11,288 million loss), net losses Yen 3,273 million (previously Yen 20,661 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 1,200 million and the net profit at Yen 1,400 million, on a 9.0% fall in turnover, to Yen 710,000 million.  In petroleum refining business, sales will decrease due to regular facility repairs.  Profit margin will deteriorate in petroleum products but improve in chemical products.  Deficit in oil and gas development business will shrink through business realignment.  .   

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 32,469.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
