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. Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has overturned his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, and structural reform. Japan joined the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations in 2013, a pact that would open Japan's economy to increased foreign competition and create new export opportunities for Japanese businesses. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2013 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 is exceeding 230% of GDP. To help raise government revenue and reduce public debt, Japan decided in 2013 to gradually increase the consumption tax to a total of 10% by the year 2015. Japan is making progress on ending deflation due to a weaker yen and higher energy costs, but reliance on exports to drive growth and an aging, shrinking population pose other major long-term challenges for the economy.

COMMENT

 

MFG OF SEMICONDUCTORS 

FINANCIAL SITUATION COSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

Unit: In Million Yen

Forecast figures for the 31/05/2015 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

This company specializes in polishing/processing of silicon wafers for semiconductors.  Wafer polishing/processing entrusted by Shin-Etsu Chemicals.  Engineering department is engaged in production of FA systems and photovoltaic cell-making systems.  Maintains strong global market share in recycled wafers.  .

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for May/2014 fiscal term amounted to Yen 42,697 million, a 3.3% down from Yen 44,141 million in the previous term.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,443 million and the net profit at Yen 1,408 million, respectively, compared with Yen 2,087 million recurring profit and Yen 1,251 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending May 2015 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 3,100 million and the net profit at Yen 1,900 million, respectively, on a 7.7% rise in turnover, to Yen 46,000 million.  Main profit-earner wafer polishing business will stay in good shape, mainly for high quality, 300mm wafers.  The recycling business in used test wafers will benefit from full-capacity operations and cost reductions, including as a result of reduced processing times and improved yield rate.  The wholesaling business will also recover after taking a downturn in the preceding term. 

 

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