These 3 criteria are inventory.

They kept inventory turnover period as 1.17. That means they controlled the inventory very well. But due to their pharmaceutical business, the period is longer than other competitors.

The inventory was increased, but the sales remained stable due to their diversified product line-up. They improved the inventory turnover period.

Even though the interest bearing debt was decreased, the interest expenses was increased from 2009 to 2010 because their financial situation became worse. They borrowed the liabilities which has higher interest rate.

Even though the interest bearing debt was decreased, the interest expenses was remained from 2009 to 2010 because Meiji’s rating is very good.

The interest bearing debt was decreased and interest expenses was kept very small, that means their financial situation is stable.


Conclusion

• SAF values for 3 companies are below cut-off point of 0.68. They need counter-measure to improve their business performance.

• Meiji (worst SAF value : 0.63) is trying to expand their business through capturing Asian market. However, since SAF value indicated, they are not healthy company and have possibilities to go bankrupt.

• We suggest following measures before expanding their businesses to new fields.– Reduce inventory turnover period to at least competitors’ level– Increase profit by capturing demand with before earthquake level by

strengthening brand of products.– Limit dividend payments to increase retained earnings for earthquake

recovery.
