Taiheiyo Cement Corporation announced that it will be closing and liquidating
the companies of the Kashima Remicon Group: Kashima Remicon, Yokota Kashima
Remicon, Tama Kashima Remicon, and Rokuei Shoji, all in the business of
mixing and selling ready-mixed concrete. The companies have no prospect
of paying off their debts, which exceed their assets. The decision to liquidate
will be finalized on December 31, 2007, with immediate effect.
Losses associated with these liquidations are estimated at about \4.8 billion;
however, since we have taken charges against these losses in previous fiscal
years to last year, we do not expect them to affect profits for the current
fiscal year.
